Who’s going to Spring Training.  Me and the Mrs will be there from February 22 through March 3rd.  Ed Smith Stadium is 10 years old this year, the refurb.   Always enjoy our time there. 

We are headed to Florida any day now. Depends on snow. We will stay until it is warm back here.

I will be there 3/21 - 3/28.  We are hoping to catch one of the final two games.  My kids want to see some of the minor league camp and hopefully catch up with Adley as he went to HS nearby. 

Did anyone have trouble buying tickets through the "pre-sale" link the Orioles sent?  It kept erring out on me.

Trying to go this year, but not 100% sure yet. The wife's birthday is right in the middle of it. 

For 3 years, I've tried convincing her to go during that week, using the "beaches and not snow" excuse. It worked once, but we went 2 weeks after her birthday and didn't hit the beach once (but did hit the Minor League training site almost every day, due to our extensive time in Bowie and Frederick the season prior.)

You have to go to the beach. Yeah.

We bought a flex pack this year through the Orioles spring Training site.  We got great seats in 213/214 behind home plate at greatly reduced price.  Cost for two seats were 249 for 5 games one being prime against Boston.   That cost was significantly cheaper than single games.  Still trying to find out out how to get my free ticket though the season ticket plan.  I lost my ticket rep over the offseason and when you talk to ticket representatives they seem to be in disarray.

I would call and ask for ticket services. I think they will bump you up to someone who can assist. Let me know if you have no joy.

    • I always compare where we are in attendance to payroll. As it stands our attendance will be 19th in the league and payroll 22nd. The Twins are at 19th with 130 million dollar payroll which is 22 million higher than ours. I expect the Nats and Tigers to spend a little this offseason so that 130 million mark for 19th place may move closer to 140. Still gives this team 50-60 million to spend on either resigning guys or free agents.
    • Well, the changes to the flex plans this year led both me ($1200 plan) and my friend ($2500 plan) to not renew for next year. The decision to more severely limit playoff presale access and dramatically reduce the discount on food and drinks at the park just didn’t make it worth it to tie up that much money in advance. So, we’ll likely go to far fewer games next year. Given the press reports and online reaction, I have to think we weren’t alone in our decision making. 
    • Rivera and Soto are hitting.   Holliday and Mayo are not.
    • Holliday could fill the role of pinch runner that Mateo would fill. 
    • Yeah. I don’t get that either. SEA would win head to head tie with HOU and push HOU into WC race but it’s irrelevant if the loses don’t match.  
    • Regardless of how down I've been about their recent play, there's always been some hope. Getting some guys back in time for the post season will definitely help.    The way this team has been built requires a group effort. I mean,  Gunnar is a huge star, but the lineup when healthy can be competitive top to bottom. I'm not knocking NY here, but if you can eliminate Judge(almost impossible), you stand a chance vs them. I'm not implying that they will go on a deep run because we've seen how bad it can be, but simply saying that getting healthy and having a shot is the best we as fans could have hoped for with the way this season has gone.
    • So who goes when Westburg and Urias come back?   My first cut is Jimenez.   The second is harder.    Liv Soto is the backup SS so I keep him.     Rivera is a good back up at 1B.   He is out of options.   Then there are  Holliday and Mayo.   Both have options. What's a GM to do?
