Umm, it's there broadcast and spring training are typically spent with these kinds of interactions. The mic'd up things are great and I really enjoyed the catcher during the last broadcast. 

I actually think their broadcasters are pretty good, but their in studio analyst was terrrible. 

It's not their fault MASN choose to not bring one single Orioles game to TV this spring. It's absolutely awful and embarrassing. 

I guess I'm just biased. Would like it a lot better if it was an O's player micced. ?

Roch:

Orioles pitchers listed today behind starter Félix Hernández are Jorge López, Dillon Tate, Evan Phillips, Konner Wade and Dusten Knight.

I haven't seen Cody Carroll's name once this spring. I thought he was another NRI. I mean, I'm not upset to not see him since I was surprised in the first place with his invite, but weird he hasn't been around at all.

I thought I heard Hyde mention him throwing a bullpen or something on back fields. Might have been someone else tho, my memory.

Yeah, it's called advertising their product. That is why it is short-sighted and irresponsible for the Orioles not to telecast at least a dozen games every Spring. Are they losing money by covering Spring Training games on TV? The way I see it is that they need to invest  in promoting their product and brand to all potential customers. There is a reason why Pepsi spends $2Billion in advertising annually even though everyone already knows what they are. The reason is that they want to stay #2 in revenue in the beverage industry. If they stopped advertising, their revenues would crumble and then collapse. The Angeloses -- I am assuming they are the decision makers in this case -- are shooting themselves in the feet by refusing to reach out to the Orioles' fans by televising Orioles games this Spring. And if the reason is money solely, it's "pound-foolish."

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.
