I liked Chirinos back there. Made a really nice block.

Also cool to see the review get announced in stadium and reversed in our favor. 

Not having Severino back there letting balls get every which way past him will be such a relief.

Pathetic.   Might be the first home opener not sold out,  happy 30th OPACY…. 

That was common in the Memorial Stadium days.  Just picking a random year, the 1962 Orioles were coming off a 95-win season and opened the year against the Sox on Saturday, April 14th and the listed attendance was 11,379.  In '63 they drew about 27k two days after the Senators drew 43k.

In 1966 35k showed up to see Frank's Oriole debut in a stadium that seated over 50k.  That was two days after the O's finished a two-game set at Fenway to start the year in front of 12,386 and 1,955!  I think Fenway has concessions lines longer than 1,955 today.
