Is it just you 3? Obviously you will get one. I know you don't want to do this but you could buy a cheap ticket and have someone enter and then exit and give you the bobblehead. 

I can't go to this game- medical reasons.  What I plan to do is wait a couple of days. I should be able to get one on Ebay.

Why on earth would they only give to ages 15 and over? Taking my two girls (age 9&7) tonight and now they are going to be devastated. This is ass backwards. Thanks a lot Orioles for crushing their dreams. 

Seems like they should be given to all ages that want them. Given out as long as they last.

Maybe not the same as getting it in stadium, but possibly an opportunity for dad to be a hero: eBay Seller

The guy is missing the boxes due to the rain apparently, but if it's just a fun opportunity for your girls to get a bobblehead, might be worth it. You can just use the one you received as your collector version, if you're into that sort of thing. 

I'm citing this particular seller because of their price. Obviously, shop around, but that price simply because the box was ruined is not a bad deal.

I'm not sure if it was the weather, or the opponent, or the fact that it was a holiday weekend where people typically go to the beach, but yesterdays game was one of the least attended bobblehead giveaway games I can ever recall. There were still giving them out at the gates after the one hour rain delay.

      Cowser had a 4.0 fWAR in 2024. You ready to lock him up for 7-8 years or longer?

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      I think he already had and it was Bradish.  Midling prospect who turns out to have #1 level stuff.  Injuries are a bitch.

      Do the Orioles Need Players with Postseason Experience?

      They need players who are better than some they have

      Probably neither - it may be more a function of lining up with players.  The Astros extensions aren’t really comparable. The first Altuve extension was ridiculously team friendly. Altuve had less than $1MM in career earnings ($15K signing bonus as amateur). He had a good 2012, making the all-star team. However, he struggled in the first half of 2013 with an OPS in the six hundreds.  He fired Boras in May, presumably because he wanted to sign an extension that Boras would have been vehemently opposed to.  The deal announced in July bought out his four remaining years of team control for $12.5MM and gave the Astros control over what would have been his first two FA years via club options that totaled $25MM. The second Altuve extension occurred after he rehired Boras and was basically about buying out his grossly undervalued club option years.  It was needed to reverse the mistake of the first extension. The Bregman extension was reached in ARB-3 negotiations. Neither of these situations are at all comparable to a potential Gunnar extension this offseason. First of all, Boras had NEVER extended a pre-arb player with seven figures in career earnings (Carlos Gonzalez was below that threshold).  He is philosophically opposed to it. Second, there are two potential comps that would starting points for a deal: Tatis Jr and Witt Jr.  Boras would reject either of those deals; he would want to do better given his distaste for pre-arb extensions, his strong preference for “record-breaking” deals, and the fact the Gunnar has more career WAR (at least fWAR) than either of those players when they signed their extensions.  When teams are successful in getting a lot of early extensions done, it’s often a case of having a lot of players amenable to an extension. That generally covers attributes such as not signing a large draft or IFA bonus (i.e., relatively “poor” players), players with geographic ties to the team (big part of Atlanta’s success), not having Boras as their agent, and being more risk-adverse from a financial perspective.  The team’s risk tolerance also plays a role as you can get burned if they turn into Grady Sizemore.

      I think the main reason they’re not big contributors for the Tigers right now is that they were all jettisoned from the team right around the time the Tigers got good. Canha was traded to SFG at the deadline, Urshela was DFA’d on August 15, and Baez shuffled off to season-ending hip surgery on August 22. They were 62-66 when Baez was shut down — they’re 28-11 since.

      Their rebuild has not been better but their players don't melt under pressure.
