Os Sign O'Day for 4 Years - It's official

[Nevermore]

People come to see a reliever pitch? A specific one? That is not a closer? Really?

Have you heard the fans lustily singing "O'DAAAAAAAY, O'DAAAAAAY, O'DAAAAAYAAY, OOOOOOOOOHHHH!!!!" during when he is pitching? They don't do that with most players.

[Nevermore]

Now find out how many of those people pay for a ticket because they think O'Day might pitch that day. I'm betting any in the "yes" category have O'Day as their last name.

They buy tickets because they know that, if a reliever is needed in a high-leverage situation, O'Day will be available. I know that this is one reason why I will buy tickets. But what do I know? I'm only a paying customer.

I'd prefer that. There's rarely a shortage of decent relievers. There's often a shortage of available, good position players at your price point.

You could easily trade for Pat Neshek's deal.

I don't disagree with your motivations. Somehow, I believe that you, like me, will go watch any Orioles team that is still technically alive in the hunt the LAST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER!

But if you know that Mychal Givens is there instead and that Jay Bruce is in left field you won't?

Flat Breezy.

Just do us a favor and tell us how you got Jay Bruce here. The magic dust doesn't work.

Sure it does. Watch.

They do the wave too. And they scream J J HARDY!!!

We loved Jim Johnson. Until we didn't. HE had a cool song too.

Most people buy tickets because they kind of like baseball and they think the O's have a good chance of winning. The next highest category may be those who showed up because someone's employer has tickets that found their way into their hands. If you kept everything else the same and replaced Darren O'Day with a random other pitcher attendance would be unaffected. Or, more precisely, the affect would be so deeply buried in the noise that you couldn't tell it was there.

I remember when we, the fans, deified John Parrish for a five week period.

I buy tickets because I love the Orioles ...... and sometimes they love me back, like when I got free season tickets for the 2009 season for being "Fan of the Game" on one of the last 3 days of the previous regular season (2008.)

I buy tickets according to what I can afford, regardless of how the Orioles are doing. That way I have no regrets about having spent my time and money on the games, and if the Orioles win, that is the proverbial icing on the cake ...... as opposed to it being the cake itself.

He looked like a ballplayer. And John Parrish is a ballplayer's name. If someone was casting a ballplayer in a movie they'd take John Parrish over Hayden Penn.

Why you make me sad?

So true. Fans would turn on Mariano Rivera if he had a bad season. Reliever is a thankless position.

Well that is two saves if my friend at work took my advice and picked up O'Day for his fantasy baseball championship.
