My friend just text me and said the Orioles will have three broadcasters in the booth for the TV home opener  But can't send anyone on the road? So how is three people in a tv booth ,a safety precaution. The safety protocol for road games are such bs.

Absolutely nobody believes it is about safety.

I believe everything the Orioles and MASN shovel out.

Rays have a really good TV team.

 

Can’t use MLB. TV because here in Appalachia, 300 miles from Baltimore and where everyone is a Reds or Braves or Nats fan, it is Os “territory” with “blackout”  and so when my cable dropped MASN 2 years ago… zip Os since except when I am in SC or elsewhere on the road  .. lol

You want happier fans you have Grayson pitching today instead of yesterday.

I’ll be happier in 2028 when he’s still under team control for a 6 month season.

[SteveA]

Akin warming.

So I guess he isn't the piggyback for Wells tomorrow.   Must be Baumann or Kremer.

Choi is pesky.

They make it so hard to be a casual Orioles fan. The only fans left are ones that are really passionate or kids that root for the same team their parents root for. My son will root for the Orioles because that's the team I like. I'm in Southern Maryland and blacked out for both the Orioles and Nationals. You would think MLB TV would want to earn as much money as possible, and that MASN would put more effort and money into the Orioles product, but it's just not the case. Frustrating to say the least. 

Jordan Lyles fitting right in already, lol. 

[SteveA]

Wow, we are actually seeing some good infield defense from the O's today.

Another nice DP.

Except for the slow rollers going through the shift and just eluding Odor.

[Moshagge3]

Lyles owes his defense some beers.

What are the odds of that happening?  10%?

[Natty]

Nice DP, second one today.

A lot of that is because of Lyles.

If he doesn't allow a baserunner you can't turn that double play.

So don't credit the defense too much, it's a group effort.

[Moshagge3]

It was a sharp cookie at Allstate who came up with the idea of sponsoring a "Mayhem Moment" on Orioles broadcasts.

Santander off to a good start for the season.
