I'm surprised to hear that the Mets have more fans out tonight than Baltimore. Even the Yankees don't outdraw the O's fans. Walking through the Inner Harbor right now and there aren't more Mets fans walking about than the usual out of towners for any other team.

Looks like it is an organized effort.

Out of town fans are the ones likely to show up an hour before game time. Let us know how it looks by the 3rd/4th inning. I'm sure there will be lots of Mets fans there -- it's the first time in a while their team has been worth traveling to see.

Wow. I think an ass kicking is in order tonight. On the field of course.

This.

We got down there at 5pm for BP yesterday and I said "damn, there are lot of A's fans here" -- by 645, it was next to impossible to find any except the group behind the dugout.

Given the country's obesity rate it doesn't take many fans to hit the ton mark.

Aww. That's so cute. They want to be the Yankees.

Fixed that for ya! :)

BTW, I'm not a big fan of the "Invasion" of other team's parks. Show up, wear your team's colors, cheer for 'em, but no need to go the extra obnoxious mile and put up the "BALTIMORE IS STEELER COUNTRY!" nonsense... Someone wearing a BALTIMORE INVASION shirt to the game tonight is kinda asking for trouble. Not from me - I'm not a drinker - but there may be O's fans who over-imbibe who may be less than thrilled at another team's fans proclaiming an "invasion"... especially if the Birds are losing.

    • Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.
    • SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.
    • Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.
    • McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.
    • I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it. 
    • Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.  
    • Jeff Tackett was also part of the single-worst baserunning display I've seen in my entire life.  No exaggeration.  I was at the game with a friend who was at her first baseball game ever, and she asked me what was going on.  I still have no idea. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1993/04/18/three-man-jam-at-third-costs-the-orioles-7-5/7eb4c3d6-545f-481a-89f4-9bc0036ad89a/
