Haven't heard whether all teams are using it, but there will be some fake crowd noise this year.

Based on this tweet from Roch, sounds like the Orioles will have it at Camden Yards.

Interesting article yesterday in The Athletic about the Red Sox plan for fake crowd noise and how there will be a single DJ/MC mixing the crowd noise.

Curious what everyone's thoughts are. I watched soccer with and without it, and I thought it was better to have it.

What I saw yesterday is that all teams will be using it and it is in fact a league mandate to use it. I just wonder if the "home" crowd at OPACY will cheer when the Red Sox and Yankees do well?

If they are going to do it, they should get rid of the screen.  It would be fun to watch foul balls knock the heads off "fans" over the course of the season.  There could be a prize for a fan whose cu

They should set up an interactive system where you can watch at home and click buttons to make your Avatar at the park make noises on your behalf.

I hadn't heard it was a league mandate, only an option. This CBS article from today seems to draw the same conclusion.

Can't imagine the "home" OPACY crowd will cheer for the Yankees and Red Sox. I don't think they do so in MLB the Show, even though they arguably should.

The soccer implementation on TV is fine.  It feels more like a normal game, and you're not normally panning the lack of crowd, reminding you it's fake.

But in stadium?  That might be a little strange.  If I were in charge of it I'd probably get fired.  I'd have to insert heckling.  Bird noises.  Pterodactyl noises. Train crashes.  Ralph and Alice fighting.  Every Yankee or Sox at bat greeted by a deafening chorus of boos.  Every Rays at bat greeted by dead silence.  Random, jarring, loud shouts of "balk" while the opposing pitcher was at the set position.  "Move it along *$@%($%" every time someone steps out to fix their batting glove.

      Hard to argue with a lot of your points. He's had two 1-1 and should have taken Witt over Rutschman and has a poor defensive second baseman with hitting issues with his other one.  He gets one more offseason with bigger pocketbooks. He gets one more year to put up or shutup.

      Sometimes I regret being an Oriole fan

      Baseball is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall all alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. A.

      Let him walk. That pop up with the bases loaded and no outs sort of encapsulates the entire postseason for us. It was a pathetic effort and we ended up with squat in a clutch situation.  The HRs are cool but he doesn't hit for average and is only getting older. And he sucks in the playoffs. Goodbye.

      Is Brandon Hyde going to pull out the “ we just need to do a better job” boilerplate or is he coming up with another way to say the same thing?    It’s easy to be snarky right now. There’s choking under pressure and there’s whatever the team has done over the last couple months. “Choke” doesn’t begin to cover the gag they threw up the last two nights when the season was on the line. Fans leaving the stadium right now aren’t just disappointed, many of them feel betrayed. Hard to blame them. I wonder if Elias might feel the same way.

      I just can't comprehend how the 2023 team PLUS Corbin Burnes devolved into this pile of excrement. This may be a .500, non-playoff team next year. I didn't expect any sort of magical run this playoff season, but I didn't think they'd get embarrassed AGAIN on the national stage.

      Better yet, where was Adam Frazier when we needed him most.....oh, wait, in the other dugout.    Bases loaded, no one out....sure could have used that guy that Hangouters had to jettison out of here favor of Jackson Holliday.
