That is a happy thought.   Thanks for that.

The pitchers and catchers part of spring training is a little drab without the reporters there live to send little videos of pitchers throwing and toss out little tidbits and quotes they pick up during the day.   So, it will be extra good to at least see some box scores and give the reporters something concrete to Zoom about.

Have you seen this?  It's the Orioles Youtube channel.  Might scratch your itch.

This is the last weekend without an Oriole game until October.

(November if we make it to the World Series).

Is MASN gonna televise any games this spring?

 

 

Or any teams for that matter. I can use that shady site to watch a few away games.

I'm sure some teams will provide content for their paying customers.

Don't matter. That site, as dicey as it is, it just gets around it somehow. They put up EVERY game of any kind all over the world. Soccer, Rugby, Darts, Billiards, Curling Chess, you name it. If it's a televised "game" they have it.

Was slamming MASN not talking about your site.

When the announcement on letting the veteran announcers go was made, the article said that MASN would televise "few if any" preseason Os and Nats games.  Last year I think MASN had 5 or 6 for each team.  Sounds like this year we'll be lucky to get 2.

Oh for the good ol' days!

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      This.  Baseball is a game of failure, but my goodness these guys went above and beyond in that department. Productive outs shouldn't be that hard.  Watch Witt in the first inning of Game 2.  And while the two playoff games perfectly told the story of the 2024 Orioles offense, I am hopeful that national stage embarrassment provides a real learning experience and motivation for fixing what is wrong with them.  As much as I am sure it hurts to watch your own hand being broken, Cowser should be watching that AB every single day from now until next October. Same thing with Adley channeling his inner Chris Davis and staring at that 2-0 meatball like he has never seen a major league pitch before.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      Could fit the profile Elias likes of veteran free agents who might be willing to sign for few years at higher AAV's. I love the splitter. I'd be interested. Free agent means no posting fee, correct? Not that it matters.

      All the talk about facing LH pitchers and needing RH bats to match up - I think it’s a bit overblown. Our approach was terrible and our guys failed to play team baseball just as much against RHP w/ platoon advantage. Guys just consistently failed to do their job.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I agree on both parts here. I’ve been reflecting on my love for baseball. Even the postseason helped me realize I enjoy the slow burn of the regular season.  I also am far away from MD and for me Baltimore is part of my cultural roots (both parents from the area). So in some sort of way, like you said, maybe there’s a healthy separation and more tolerance for failure. Maybe even nostalgia, lol. But I’ll take it.

      I don’t live in Maryland either, but I still have family that are there and most of them are more into the Ravens, yet they send me O’s stuff all the time — which really isn’t a great pulse for O’s fan expectations. I think from the time I lived there until now (which is a few decades), Baltimore is definitely more of a football town. Maybe my family does reflect the times? As for OH and representation, that’s a fascinating question. To me, the OH feels like the place is generally a group of the hardcore of the hardcore baseball fans, with some part timers mixed in. The differences tend to break on personality types (cynics, optimists, realists — and a handful of comedians). If Elias only tweaks a couple things and doesn’t make any fundamental changes (like maybe drafting more pitchers) or pretending nothing can be done about RISP — then any glow about the rebuild will truly fade, at least in my house.

      The lack of velocity will be issue I think in majors at his age but the secondary pitches must be very good.  It is interesting that in Japan the splitter is like the cutter/sweeper is in MLB.  It seems Asian league goes more for the up and down movement while MLB pitching strategy is the lateral movement of pitches.
