Well that's certainly an opinion, but if you think the stadium is great, you have not seen what a lot of Double-A level stadiums look like now. If you think there is always a breeze you haven't sat behind homeplate on a summer Sunday afternoon. If you think it's easy to get to during a week, you don't come down rt 3 from the north between 5:30 and 7:00 and even worse, don't have to spend the 15 minutes going from the rt 50 overpass to the Stadium road entrance as you wait in the dual unsychronized lights multiple times each.

Everyone likes what they like though. Saying that, I don't necessarily want to see Bowie lose their team, but I'd not prefer to see the Orioles lose an affiliate in Frederick even more. 

 

 

I understand, for me, hop down 197, turn left on Rt 301 and then right into the park. Normally, I get to Bowie during week nights, so granted, iso evening/late afternoon weather is better than early afternoon.

No, not been to hardly any minor league parks. I hit AAA in Albuquerque years ago, when Dempsey was managing, and that wasn't why I went there. but, it was good to meet him. Wasnt a bad stadium.

I seen a few minor league stadiums from the outside in the Midwest and Kentucky, and not all that, almost sandlotish.

I think Md has several nice minor league stadiums. Sad to see them contradict the minor league system.

      The game is already tied. If he gets thrown out, the O's still have a runner in scoring position and just one out. You really didn't have much to lose by sending him there, with a chance to end the game.

      Yes.  He’s not a great bunter but at least try it once.   Santander was today’s choker.  He’s gotta be able to hit a freaking fly ball there.

      Same exact question Ravens fans ask every season.  No killer instinct.  In the game’s biggest moments, they come up small.  Exactly what you saw today.  Pathetic

      Should we have gone with a suicide or safety squeeze with Mullins? He might be better at bunting than hitting deep fly balls. Just a thought.

      I agree with the second but not the first. If the first fails, that's an extra out. If the second fails then they just get an out at home instead of an out at first, which is not really relevant with Gunnar going to 3rd. For the first case I'd think you need to be like 80% to succeed for it to be right, but for the second like 20%.

      Bump. Tonight's game wasn't just "winnable" -- it would have been one of the top 2-3 wins of the season. Down 2 in the 9th and we come out single, single, walk, double to tie the game and have two of our fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with our 2-3-4 hitters coming up next.  And our guys gagged. They wilted under pressure. They choked.  Again.  This has happened so many times this season that I believe we need to consider the real possibility that the Orioles as currently constructed lack the character, stamina, -- the heart, if you will -- to win games like this. I think these players fail so often because they expect to fail. I remember after we won it all in '83 reporters were interviewing Ken Singleton in the locker room and one of them asked if the Orioles had been lucky. "You make your own luck" he responded. Well, the 2024 Orioles are making their own bad luck over and over again. How does that cycle of failure come to an end? I wish I knew.

      I know the OH hates Holliday, but it's a no brainer keeping him over Soto. We're talking about bench players who are going to, at most, have a small role in a few games. Soto has no pop and is slow. He's a warm body as it is. Holliday's ability to run can be very useful in the playoffs.
