Granted, the Orioles and their fans have plenty on their plates right now.

But for what it's worth, Roch Kubatko has this for us.

The Orioles open up next season on April 3rd of 2017, against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Aside from the Nationals, the Orioles' other Inter-League opponents include the Cardinals and the Cubs.

The Cardinals last visited Oriole Park in 2014, with the Orioles taking 2 out of 3.

The Cubs last visited Oriole Park in 2003, with the Cubs taking 2 out of 3. In the Orioles' lone victory that season, Rick Helling pitched 5 shutout innings for the Birds, followed by Travis Driskill's 4 innings of 1-run ball out of the bullpen for a 6-1 Orioles victory. B.J. Surhoff and Melvin Mora each hit home runs for the Orioles that day, with said 2 players accounting for 4 out of the team's 6 RBI's.

So while there were some things on the 2016 schedule that put a damper on attendance, this one looks a lot more conducive to putting some more butts in the seats. Looks like more weekend games against the Red Sox and Yankees, as well as weekend series against the Cardinals and Cubs.

    • I also went with Burnes because of his better durability. Since 2019 Snell has pitched more then 128 innings in a season one time (180 innings in 2023). While Burnes has pitched over 167 inning or more every season since becoming a full time starter in 2021. Burnes is also two years younger so in theory while a six year contract is riskier it would end at the same age as Snell on a four year deal. I'd be happy with either one, but my preference in Burnes.
    • Adding that I would go for Roki over either of them.
    • I'd go for Snell. He has true Cy Young stuff. Burnes is really good but his K rate keeps dropping and the years scare me. The box score for his playoff start was solid but he actually gave up a lot of hard contact. I just don't trust him enough to commit all those years and dollars.
    • I go Burnes because to me the higher floor is very important with this sort of deal. I feel like Snell's skillset is more on a razor's edge-- if you didn't like how Burnes pitched in August, Snell is almost certainly more prone to stretches of poor performance like that. Even if he is more dominant at other times to balance it out. Plus, the extra length of Burnes' deal is offset a bit by being 2 years younger. 
    • Snell is injury prone and Burnes is a tough workhorse.
    • Didn't see the video? The ball went maybe 15 feet before it bounced, it was rolling by the dugout.  It was nothing and the Dodgers look soft. Was he supposed to let the discarded ball stay on the field?
    • Rojas pulled from the bases in the 3rd inning after he couldn't manage 2nd to home on a Mookie single (and Ohtani couldn't 1st to 3rd behind him) as the Dodgers try to dig out of 6-1.    Rojas' limited mobility hurt the Dodgers defense on a Bogaerts ground ball where Merrill was too quick going first to second, and Rojas ended up getting no outs on a routine ground ball. Manny with a cagey zigzag baserunning move during the Padres 6-run inning off Buehler, getting into Freeman's throwing lane to put Buehler into the jam. Teoscar grand slam brings it back to 6-5 in the 3rd inning...get your popcorn ready.
