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.

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.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      That is exactly my roster math as well. And that breaks down to just one vacant bullpen slot (with two starters).  I'm not sure we even have room for a high leverage reliever. You have seven guys on your list and they are all out of options or high leverage guys that shouldn't be optioned. We should have one spot for optionable guys and ideally another for waiver claims. The only way Suarez makes sense if he is super cheap so we can DFA without a second thought. But he will cost more this year.

      What's Your Top Priority

      By Orioles0615 · Posted

      Wah! But muh defense.    He still put up 7.9 bWAR this year. I would gladly pay 40 million a year to have what Ohtani did this year without the promise of picthing again

      I think at $5 million he's an insurance policy that can go to the pen if need be. I'd rather not go into spring training with him penciled into the rotation. But I also don't want Trevor Rogers penciled in either.  He also could be a bridge until Bradish is ready.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      So to all of you saying you would bring him back…. GRod, Eflin, Kremer, Felix, DC, Webb, Soto, Dominguez, Akin and Cano That leaves room for 3 more pitchers and this doesn’t include McDermott, Rogers or Povich. 3 spots left, 1 high end reliever and 2 starters. Which of those 3 spots do you want him at or, who do you take off the above list and keep Suarez over?

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By interloper · Posted

      I went to a few games this year, but here are the reasons I didn't go to the WC games: The team had been an absolute bummer to watch for 3 entire months out of the season and to be honest by the time the playoffs got here I was exhausted and annoyed. The brand of baseball they had been employing for half the season (over-reliance on the home run, terrible ABs, iffy defense) frankly sucked to watch, even on TV, and I'm already spending money to watch them on TV. I wanted them to prove they could get past the WC round before I shelled out more money. I imagine a lot of people share these reasons with me.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      People whining about 41k attendance and blaming it on the city have no idea what they're talking about.  Why were there 47k+ of Game 1 against the Rangers last year? Did the city all of a sudden not matter then? It was also a day game. Alas, it was on a Saturday. And they had that locked up for awhile. Why has attendance went up YoY? Look at the Astros and the Brewers. They had *less* people at their G1 games. Is Milwaukee not a nice city? Is Houston not a nice city?  This is pretty simple. It was a day game during a weekday with crappy weather coming off a pretty lackluster performance going into the playoffs. And folks didn't know if there'd even be a home game until, what, barely a week before?  People like winners. Miami is an awesome city. They got a new stadium when it first opened. But guess what? That team stunk in fairly short order upon stadium opening and attendance tanked.

      Would love to bring him back on a 1 year deal for anywhere from $3-$7m.  Great depth arm. Don't pencil him into the 5th starter role. This club needs to pickup two starters: a TOR arm and a BOR arm. Have an open competition for the 5th spot. If Suarez doesn't make it, he'd be a great middle reliever arm. Open competition between Free Agent, Suarez, Povich, McDermott, and Rogers. Do not just go into 2025 penciling Rogers into any role.
