This my friends is authentic Mexican food.  It's called chapulines.

I wouldn't mind trying it out at all.  Don't believe I've added grasshopper to my list of eaten animals.

Nice sized portion for four bucks at the ballpark.

Quote

After surprisingly selling out of grasshoppers at a concession stand for the first three games of the season, the Seattle Mariners have called in an emergency order so that they last throughout this weekend. The team is also imposing a per-game order limit for the rest of the season.

Quote

We've sold roughly 18,000 grasshoppers," Hale said. "That's more than the restaurant [that runs the stand], Poquitos, sells in a year."

      Cowser-Norby platoon in left in 2024?

      By oriolediehard · Posted

      I read somewhere that Elias said during this past trade deadline that the other organizations wanted ridiculous return!! We will get screwed in trades. If we want to make improvements for next year, signing FA's is the best way. The cost of FA's are also ridiculous, but we won't have to raid our farm system for 1 player.  Nobody is going to give us a deal.

      Kyle Bradish 2023

      By Frobby · Posted

      Bradish looked ridiculously good in his two innings today.  Hopefully he looks like that next Saturday.   Final ERA of 2.83.  What a season.

      Who’s the “we”?    Anyway, hey fan however you want. As for me, I’m going to enjoy the opportunity that is right in front of us. Respect to you though.

      Mountcastle, Wells, Perez, Webb, Urias and Irvin all hit Arb 1 in 2024.  Hays will hit Arb 2 and get a raise from $3.1 million; Mullins will be Arb 2 and will need a raise from $4 million; Means is Arb 3 and will get a raise from $3 million.  Santander will be the most expensive hitting Arb 4 and is currently earning $7.4 million for 2023.  Santander is clearly the most eligible trade candidate looking solely at payroll.  I also see Urias as expendable.  I'm guessing that losing Gibson and Frazier makes the Arb raises somewhere close to a wash. Remember that the O's will also be paying around $22 million in deferred and retained salaries (Davis, Cobb et. al.) in 2024 according to Spotrac. The basic reason to stay cheap is to retain the ability to sign select players like Henderson to early extensions and I hope they do.  I can see a benefit to doing the same with Adley and Means.  Also there's always a need for a FA or two every season.  I predict Hays and Mullins returning in 2024 but only Mullins in 2025 and the O's at a $100 million payroll in 2025 anyway.  Hopefully they can find a sustainable sweet spot around $125 million but I think they build up to it.

      Many Reasons to be Optimistic for the Postseason

      By RichmondOsFan · Posted

      I'm optimistic for the postseason in part because the O's got at least one entire series-worth of stink out of their system today: 4 errors, 7 stolen bases given up, 2 wild pitches, 5 unearned runs.  Perez got his periodic implosion out of the way.  Also: Multiple starting pitchers seem to be heating up at the same time: Bradish, Means, Rodriguez. Also: Wells and Irvin looked great out of the pen.  Also: We've seen the last of Lopez, at least for 2023; and possibly Fuji too, depending on Hyde's playoff roster.

      Nope.  The seeds are set in advance.  It’s assumed that the highest seed will win and that the O’s are advantaged by playing the 4 seed in the ALDS rather than the 3 seed.  But that breaks down when the 3 seed (which is the 3rd division winner) is actually worse than the 4 seed, or if there’s an upset in the first round so that the 5th or 6th seed advances.    Know what?  I don’t really care.  If the O’s are the best team, they’ll beat whoever is in front of them.
