Exactly. Nobody is dragging their kids out in that weather on a school night.  

We can talk about weather all day long though but this is about lack of season ticket holders. There are no advanced sales for weeknight games in April. No giveaways these games either. Why would someone in advance buy tickets to these 3 games?  Even if the weather is nicer your fan base comes from the suburbs and is going to wait and go to games most convenient for them, Friday, Saturday and Sunday games.  

Exactly ,they have Little league Day against the Tigers on Sunday this month. They will have a nice crowd and looks like no kids free tickets are left. Weekdays in April and May not so much.

We still go to some games but we stopped buying season tickets (we had had them for 17 years) when they let Markakis go.  But even now when we go its really hard to stomach watching Chris Davis and Tillman (we definitely do not buy tickets when Tillman is scheduled to pitch).  There have to be better options.  I do feel some hope with Mancini, Bundy, Gausman and Sisco coming along so maybe we will buy them again someday.

Is it spring break in Baltimore this week.  It is here.  This would think that might increase attendance but I think a lot of families travel out of town.

That said, it's still rough.  Bad team last year, no hype this year, bad weather,  bad opponent, hangover from the riots.  It's a lot of add up to low attendance.

Lowest *paid* attendance in history.

More than 7k fans paid to see the game with no fans?  I don't think the team charged fans to a game they were not allowed to attend. And if you are looking for why attendance is down look at the no fan game for the reason.

What?

I'm saying last night was the Orioles' lowest paid attendance in history at Camden Yards.

Well you were wrong. They had a game with no fans .  How could that have more paid attendance than last nights game.

The fans didn't pay for the game they were not allowed to attend, genius. What the hell are you even talking about?

0 is less than 7915.  I am not sure what else there is to say. 

Wow, you're not too smart huh?

0 is the least attended game, yes.

Last night was the least attended game in which tickets were sold for the game.

 

WOW.

Team came in last place and didn't add to the team until spring training, long after season ticket renewals. How are other non-contending teams doing? Owners may have outsmarted themselves with their free agency waiting strategy.

I think this is a great point. Every year the Orioles do this and every year it seems to cost them season ticket holders. This is what happens when your strategy is to wait every out, because you end up waiting out your season ticket renewals as well.

      2024 Week 6: Ravens vs Commanders

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      I really hope the Ravens win this one. I hate all Washington teams and always root for them to lose but especially if they are playing Baltimore teams

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I really don’t see the point of trading Mullins, or even Mountcastle for a reliever. We need Mullins definitely, especially with Santander being a FA.  What good is a reliever if you can’t get a lead?  I just don’t like trading everyday players for relievers, especially when we have a good looking pen next year pre deadline, and what reliever would Mounty/Mullins even buy. Would that reliever even be an upgrade over what we already have? At this point, I’m thinking Mounty goes for some sort of RHH COF.

      Grade the Eflin Trade

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We couldn’t have asked for more from the Eflin deal than what we got. 9 starts that kept the rotation afloat to even make the playoffs. Then a “good” playoff start in an elimination game where we had the luxury of going to the pen fast.  It’s always tough giving up prospects, but Eflin did exactly what we needed him to do post deadline.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      There should be one philosophy, and that's what the O's claimed to have. There's just a lot more work to coaching 13 hitters (plus callups) than one person can do. Going through video, coordinating with the data folks, developing a plan, all that stuff. Only so many hours in the day.

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

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

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.
