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.

      I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      A buddy of mine made this with his AI. I figured I’d just put this here. 😂   https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.

      A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.

      I'm still trying to figure out how this guy is out of the majors for 7 years and somehow manages to pick up 2 MPH on his fastball, at the age of 34.  But hey, I'm not complaining.   Statcast loves him so far this year.  Statcast thought he was a little unlucky in his last stint in the majors, and unsurprisingly they think he's getting a little lucky now, but even accounting for his good luck he's still in great pitcher territory.

      2 "gutsy" starts in a row.  That's exactly what you want out of veterans to demonstrate to the young guys.
