I just asked her, and she said when the Orioles are having a special visitor, the Orioles ask for police help, so they don't have to hire an outside security agency. She said the Troopers do O.T when they get asked, but its mostly done by city police.

Yes Phelps got the same treatment.

She said to keep in mind, these aren't going to be uniformed officers. They're doing overtime, and they will be in plain clothes. So, you wouldn't know he was even being escorted by police. Atleast on the inside of the stadium.

Was he in one of the boxes (ie. MASN, Biscotti, Ripken?) or in the crowd, and was Angelos with him?

NOW THAT IS POSITIVE INFO! WOW! So PA got wind of the Firestone entry here and decided to play it close to the vest- keeping him hidden by bringing him in AFTER the game started- knowing all reporters will have to be focused on the game at that point!

Now that's exciting news.

I think Angelos kept him locked in his office 'til after kickoff to make him squirm. ;)

Got Tex to knock a few mil off before signing on the dotted line, then let some of Baltimore's finest get him into see most of what was a good football game for 59 minutes.

Aced the physical today. 5 o'clock press conference tomorrow.

Just a hunch

Makes a lot more sense then the way we were hearing it before.

Yeah it does sound like some CIA Black Ops stuff was going on as usual with the Orioles, unfortunately the Hangout and Roy took it on the chin as a result.

Anyway as people have said none of this matters now. Tex just has to sign on the dotted line...

Well, I'm not sure about that. But she did say that this wasn't something that was planned out weeks in advance. This was put together quick, according to the officer.

I can confirm that he was NOT in Section 136, Row 33.

Now all we need to do is have a few thousand other posts like mine, and keep crossing off rows of seats, until we have figured out EXACTLY where he must have been sitting by process of elimination.

The power of the internet is amazing.

The atmosphere at that game had to have impressed him.

I can't shake my feeling for the mid-week. It just won't leave. I hope I am not wrong!

The reports said he was in the MASN suite.

He was never near Ripken.

Angelos wasnt with him.

Roch said specifically that he was NOT in the MASN suite.

Mark Teixeira wasn't in the MASN suite during the first quarter, or the start of the second. Perhaps he dropped by later. I wasn't on full stakeout. At some point, I needed to get back to the press box.

And again, pretty much every source has agreed that IF he was at the game it didnt mean anything with regards to the Orioles.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Hallas · Posted

      Am I crazy for thinking Burnes isn't going to sniff Cole's deal?  I'm thinking like 7/260-280.  I don't think he's going to sniff Cole's deal.  For starters i dont think hes as good a pitcher as Cole was at the time of his signing.  Also, the Yankees aren't going to be in the bidding so that leaves the Mets, Giants, Nats, Orioles as teams that can afford him.  The Sox could too, but they're on the fringe of contention and might opt to develop more with the Yankees and Orioles solidly ahead of them in division.  Only the Mets from that list really seem like teams that would go over 300m for a pitcher, but they will be pressed for money because of the luxury tax.

      Agree a strong RHP bullpen arm that misses bats would be good to add. Looking at Spotrac I don’t see who it would be. Dominguez could certainly be someone that could fill this role.

      It looks like I misread your post as being about last offseason instead of the 2017-2018 offseason.  My mistake, but does that in any way affect my overall point - you know the part that I made explicit and you left out of your response - that all the old, reflexive Angelosian nonsense no longer automatically applies? I'm unclear on what you're driving at, especially if I have to go back to the 2017-2018 offseason when Peter Angelos might still have been giving input on running the team.  I think it's a stretch to try to draw parallels to those days, or even the John Angelos years, to David Rubenstein potential as an owner.

      Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.

      I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.

      In the market and $$$ for SP = Mets, Cubs, BOS, WAS and SFG (depending on Snell opt-out).  That’s enough chairs when music stops for Burnes and Fried to cash in, and still ample for second tier Eovaldi, Manea, Kikuchi, Flaherty.
