It will air exclusively on youtube.com.

It will also feature the first all female broadcast crew in MLB history.   Melanie Newman on play by play, analyst Sarah Langs, and field reporter Alanna Rizzo.

For the die hards out there that still haven't cut the cord so they can continue to watch the O's on MASN this seems a little messed up.  Why can't they still show the game on MASN and do an alternative option on Youtube?

Now, if they want to show a Bowie game instead of an O's game on MASN here and there in the second half, count me in.

The woman angle is perfectly fine with me. I think they do a great job analyzing baseball and basketball in particular. Not sure I agree on football, though I'm sure some out there are excellent. I do think there's a ton of real experience and knowledge in baseball and basketball though.

This is a national production.   Melanie actually did play by play for an earlier MLB game this year that was broadcast on Youtube.   So she has a side gig with Youtube and it just happens that Youtube is doing this game. 

Youtube has been doing about one national telecast each week for the last couple months.   However, I don't think that the other ones were exclusive like this one is (i.e. they were still broadcast on the team's local RSNs; this one is not).

Nothing is preventing the cable viewers from watching on Youtube. What would be the point of broadcasting twice when they already have access to a broadcast?

Worst case they can move from the booth to the field and replace some of our starting pitching.

Langs is an ESPN writer.  She knows her stuff.  I know the name Alanna Rizzo but don't know what she does.

Glad to see that they're doing the all-female training wheels on a free game that no one will care about.  

Alanna Rizzo worked for the MLB Network for a while and then left to become the "sideline" reporter for the Dodgers.  Now she is back on MLB Network...mostly on High Heat with Chris Russo.

Everyone has access to YouTube on a TV?

If you have a Smart TV or a streaming device like Apple TV or Roku, then you can download  and view on the YouTube app.

I imagine for some older viewer this will be quite the challenge, but they can always watch on Youtube from their computer.

      Anthony Santander 2024

      Santander does exactly ONE thing very well: Hit HRs He doesn't hit for average, he doesn't get on base, he's a very slow runner, and he is a very poor defender. If he stops hitting HRs so often, his value completely evaporates and his contract basically becomes dead money, and the Orioles cannot afford to eat large amounts of dead money like the Dodgers, Mets, and Yankees of the world. I am simply using Trumbo, whose basic tool kit is very similar to Santander's, as a fairly recent, Orioles-related cautionary tale. Trumbo had his big walk year with the Orioles at age 30 and instead of doing the smart, obvious thing and taking the free draft pick, we gave him a big money extension that everyone except the FO knew was probably going to end poorly. Baseball Savant has Santander in the 22nd percentile in terms of overall fielding value. However you want to slice it, he isn't going to make up any lost value from declining offense with his defense. If his ability to slug goes south, the whole contract goes with it, because he has no other tools to make up for that with.

      Santander is -2 OAA this year. He’s averagish to below average. There but there are much worse defensive right fielders such as Adolis Garcia and Castellanos -9, Lane Thomas and Renfroe -8, and Soto -4. Acuna and Tatis are also -2 OAA.  In 2016, Mark Trumbo was -15 OAA. They’re not even in the same universe.

      Anthony Santander (age 27-29): .245 / .317 / .477 / .794    124 OPS+   9.0 rWAR Mark Trumbo (age 27-29): .244 / .299 / .443 / .742   105 OPS+  2.6 rWAR Is it really very meaningful that Trumbo was the better player when they were significantly younger? 29-year-old Santander is a better player by miles than Trumbo at the same age, and he has been for years. I think that’s what matters most to how you’d project them over the next few years.

      I love Tony and I honestly think we are gonna miss his veteran leadership as much as anything. I’m very happy we have him for this year. But I do think he’d be a bad long term investment.

      He’s the best player in history. No one can convince me otherwise.  I didn’t say he has the most records or the most counting stats or the most MVPs. That’s not what I said.  He’s just the best player in baseball history.

      Trumbo was a DH impersonating a fielder, Santander is just a very poor fielder. It's not a perfect comp (is there really even such a thing?) but he is an absolutely relevant comp for this team in this situation. He is the poster child for why taking the draft pick and moving on is the right choice. And Santander is still a bad fielder, just not quite Trumbo-tier.

      To this end I feel like we always had a pretty short leash with him. From the first three starts as an oriole to the yo-yo-ing this year. I would have preferred we just left him in the #5 starter role and see what happened. And maybe he’ll get that opportunity elsewhere like you said, whereas here it always seemed like his role was changing.
