Going to my first game since Covid with my oldest child and youngest (of 4).  Game is 7:05.  Am I safe to assume we can eat Phillps or somewhere near stadium or should we indulge in Boogs?  It has been awhile since I have been to a Saturday game and the last two times, my go to dining place, Sabatino's was...underwhelming.  I have great memories of eating there with an old friend from college who passed away years ago.  And when my 4 were younger and we had a season ticket package we loved Sabatino's. 

Anyway, feel free to move or delete and I appreciate any suggestions.

Your definition of Phillips as being near the stadium is making my arthritic knees hurt just thinking about that walk.

I will say that the quality and variety of food available at the stadium is way down from where it was pre-Covid.   But yes, Boogs is still there and still good.  I ate there for the Saturday night Nats game a couple weeks ago.   Line was about a half hour long, and Boog isn't there signing autographs.   And the buffet style condiment stand where you got your own sauces, onions, and horseradish and such appears to be a victim of Covid, it no longer exists.  You get packets of condiments, as well as sliced onions, if you ask for them at check out time.

Are the Harbor Place restaurants even open anymore?  There's been serious talk of tearing the two pavillions down.  Shame, it used to be a Baltimore landmark.

I believe a few are.  But I don't think they are doing well.

Buyers moving to online shopping have hurt the in store business model.  And, more and more of Baltimore's Inner Harbor entertainment and dining has moved to IH East, Canton and Fells Point or to Federal Hill.  Not to mention the developments near the ballparks, i.e., the Horseshoe, Hammerjacks, etc.

Note:  etc.  means there might be more, I just don't know.  It's like saying "it appears that", just covering my ass.

Bubba Gump and Cheesecake Factory were still there about 3 weeks ago when we were at the Inner Harbor and believe Phillip’s and Hard Rock were at the Power Plant.  A little further down was Miss Shirley’s but could not tell driving by if it was open or not.

      I'm not disregarding his past performance, but in general recent performance is more relevant if it's a decent sample size.  140 PAs is a pretty high number.  It's been pretty clear for awhile now that what he was once good at he's not good at right now.  I'd rather see Kjerstad bat against lefties than Slater at this point.

      Os vs NL

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Today was, thankfully, the last games vs the NL this year…barring a WS run of course. The Os finish 19-26 (that’s a sub 70 win% seasons) vs the NL and were outscored by 42 runs.     That means vs the AL he has outscored them by about 115 runs and are 24 games over 500.

      It’s the quietest 879 in the history of baseball.

      I disagree Mayo is one of the reasons the Orioles have not hit well.  Emmanuel Rivera, who has hit well with an .879 OPS since he joined the O's, has gotten the playing time over Mayo.

      I was sort taking that as a fait accompli. Signing expensive long-term free agent deals for one dimensional sluggers heading into their 30s definitely does not seem like Elias's style, especially when an extra high draft pick (and accompanying extra bonus pool money) is the reward for not doing so.

      The Defense Thread, 2024

      Game 153, Sept. 19 Lots of notable defensive plays today.   Kjerstad made two excellent catches, one going back and towards the RCF alley that (per Kevin Brown) was a 50% probability catch, and another going back to the wall near the corner and making the catch at close to full speed.   Holliday snared a line drive at the top of his leap, and also made a nice backhand running catch of a soft fly into medium RF. Mullins made a diving catch in the 7th on a sinking liner that he got a great jump on.   In the 9th, with runners on 1st and 2nd, Heliot hit a liner in the RCF gap that carried much further than it first appeared it would.   Mullins and Slater dove for it simultaneously and Slater actually gloved it for a second before it popped out while Slater landed on Mullins.  Luckily, the two base runners totally misread the play, and after Slater quickly scrambled to his feet and threw the ball in, the runner originally on 2B scored but the runner on 1st only advanced to 2B, and the batter had to stop at first.  The O’s were able to keep any further runs from scoring. One thing I’ve noticed about Manny Rivera is that he’s very slow charging bunts and slow rollers/choppers. He handled one bunt and one chopper in front of him today and both times the runner beat his throw rather easily, something that has happened a lot when Rivera has manned 3B.   I’m more than ready to have Urias -and/or Westburg back at the hot corner.

      Don’t know what happened to him on here but I did meet him and some others from The Sun forums at the park on Matt Wieters first game as an Oriole. If I recall correctly his name was Patrick.  He seemed like a good dude but he did have his face painted and was wearing those big hulk hands…which did strike me as a little odd for a grown man but to each his own.
