It's a shame the first game won't be on the radio (Frobby posted the dates that 105.7 would air radio broadcasts in another thread).   I'm sure they wanted to but 105.7 is also the Terps basketball station and they have a game Sunday.

Only one game in the first 21 days of exhibitions is on the radio outside the M-F 1:05 timeslot, which I can't listen to at work.   That's next Saturday,  March 6.   Man, I'm going to be jonesing for some O's game action.

Game is on Pirates radio for those that have MLB app.  Looks like all games this week except Toronto will be covered by Orioles or opposition either on radio or TV.

It'll be on MLB Gameday... no pitch counts but we'll be able to follow it some.

Next Sunday's game March 7@Pittsburgh is televised. I'm over 3 hours from Pitt but for some reason we have ATT Sportsnet -Pitt on our cable package. So I'll be able to watch then.

I remember you saying that in the past. 
 

Quick glance Orioles at Pitts is also on Pirates TV March 11, 19 and 22.  
 

Of course in regular season it’s blacked out but spring having the MLB.Tv package is good being an Orioles fan. One perk of having a ticket package. 
 

I just don’t get Orioles/MASN. I mean games start tomorrow and still no word about TV schedule. Hard to fathom.

:D :D :D

 

I hadn't checked the whole way thru. Pitt announcers are terrible. Just boring as hell. Plus EVERY time we play them they bring up '79 again! :mad:

 

But it's O's baseball in ST. :D Any port in a storm!

    • 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.  
    • 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 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.
