I think that the biggest change to the menu at OPACY this year is that they're allowing you to bring your own food and drink in again.  If you don't want to eat obscenely priced stadium food, buy a $1 hot dog, a $2 bag of peanuts, and a $1 soda outside and bring it in.

Going that route plus a cheap/Stubhub ticket is almost certainly cheaper than going to your local movie theater and buying the bushel of popcorn and a gallon soda deal.

I'm thinking of going to Wednesday night's [likely Burnes vs Means] game vs Milwaukee.

Just for fun, not because I can't afford it or am super cheap, I think I might try to make it a minimal cost night.   For the first week excluding Opening Day they have that 1992 ticket price deal they've been advertising that include $4 Eutaw Street bleachers.   And $1.75 hot dogs.

So I might so if I can treat myself to a really cheap night at the park:

  • Light rail -- is it $3.50 or $3.75 round trip, can't remember for sure?   I'm not quite there for the senior discount, but a few years away!
  • A Eutaw St bleacher seat for $4
  • 2 hot dogs for $3.50
  • And I'll bring a bottle of pure leaf unsweetened iced tea, $1.99 at my local grocery.   

Might be fun to watch last year's Cy Young winner battle the Orioles' ace and spend less than $14 doing it.

But at the movies, you don't know how the story ends.  :cool:

Nice.  For me I'd be adding 180 miles of round trip gas, so something like $35.  But a ballgame at Camden Yards for $50 still isn't bad.  And I'd have to bring the kids and the wife and they'd be far less likely to play along with the cheap game thing.

Kids under nine are free with an adult purchase in the Upper Deck,two actually.

I absolutely believe that an Orioles game is the best value for your entertainment dollar.  You can still get in for a reasonable price and spend next to nothing on food if you mostly bring your own.  Light rail or metro makes it even cheaper.

    • Soto has had 6 years in the majors. Only 2 of them with an ERA under 4 and he's averaged a 100 ERA+. He has a career FIP of nearly 4. A career WHIP of over 1.4. Why is that valuable? Yeah, he can go on dominant runs. But so could Bryan Baker.  That's worth clogging up a spot and not getting somebody more consistent and...well...better?
    • Taking a look at 2023 vs 2024 FANGRAPHS WAR, some interesting directional info.  (Acknowledging that WAR is not definitivve,  FG uses FIPERA for Pitcher WAR).  This is meant to highlight areas of opportunity not a deep dive on data.  Highlighted 5 key areas:   1) TOR/Ace role /Burns FA.  All other roles 2-6 are likely fine.  Bradish coming back in 2nd half of 2025 would be a boost but should not be counted on.   Going into 2025 w/o sourcing a 4 WAR type of replacement for Burns would be a huge miss.    Most important decision/move for 2025.  2) Need to solidify closer and BP which is hopefully Felix coming back strong but should not depend on 2023 dominance.  Need a deep pen with reliable depth in minors and assume more trade deadline reinforcements.   Plenty of good options here, spend $ smartly but don't depend solely on waiver claims.  3) Adley - none of Elias' 2024 calculus included AR's huge 2nd half dropoff.    If he does not come back strong, may have to re-think AR contribution and make up for any defecit in other positions.  If Gunnar is a 10 and Adley's a 4 WAR we are more than fine, should not assume Adley is a 5+WAR player.  4) Santander - How is he best replaced.  Elevate Heston and pair him with a RH platoon partner who can back-up all three OF postions.  Not an easy find but needs to be impactful - a RH bat, preferably a high OBP type- that player does not exist in the org in terms of 2025 readiness.     Supposedly that's why Mayo is so highly valued as a RH  bat which is why not developing him as an OFer is curious.  5) Jackson Holliday - Biggest upside story for 2025.  Expect to see major improvement and the type of bat the lineup needs.  Should be settled in, got to experience the post season without playing but a lot of the Elias' plan/process is JH becoming a very good player.   
    • I don't get the idea of not wanting Soto back. First of all, lets talk about money.  He probably gets around $6M in arb for 2025. 37 relievers made 6M or more in 2024. 56 made 4M or more.  A 1/6 deal for him isnt bad and its not a long term commitment, which is a huge plus. After his 2 awful outings after he got here, Soto appeared in 20 games. He threw 16.1 innings and had a 1.10 ERA. He gave up 1 homer, walked 4, 11 hits and struck out 20.  For the season, his ERA was a mediocre 4.42 but his FIP was 3.68, his K rate was over 11 and his HR rate was .68. The issue is the walks. He is still only 29 years old, has over 60 appearances each of the last 4 years (ie he's durable) and he has very good seasons in the past. Even last year, when his ERA was 4.62, his xERA was 2.79 and his FIP was 3.59. With his ability to get Ks and miss bats and the upside he has, taking the chance on him for 1/6 is a risk you would be foolish not to take.
    • Haha. Our reliever with the lowest FIP & WHIP and highest K/BB rate.
    • Akin is discussed above. Pretty sure he is out of options as of this year. But I am far from a roster nerd.  Cano and Felix do have options but they are not the type of guys you would option assuming they are performing at a high level, only if they struggle. We are not going to want to option them just to get through a bullpen day or manage rest. 
    • It's a tough question. Akin stunk/hurt in 2023, this year he was very good in medium/low leverage situations. Suarez is a starter *and* was effective in relief. I don't know, think I'd rather have Suarez, tbh.
