Like the whistle.   The light show is a bit over the top for my taste.  

I was always a tradition, old school, by the book guy, but I also loved flare and enthusiasm.  It can be infectious.  Now I look at the kids and try to view it from their perspective.  My 10 yo & 7 yo were on the edge of their seat.  It’s entertainment at the end if the day.  With all that said, you still have to respect the game and put it all on the line when the lights turn on.

Electric. Been wanting them to utilize the flashing lights for a closer entrance again. Wait until the next 30K+ attendance game at home with that! Can't wait.

Yeah. This will become a thing for sure when they fill the park.

Well, after today, they are gone for a week.  They have a day game on Thursday vs the Cubs.  But if they are still winning, that weekend series vs Boston could be pretty amazing.

It’s gonna feel silly when he’s going through a rough stretch and he had just blown a couple saves in a row and we’re not all so confident he’s gonna be lights out. It’s cool when he’s doing well though

That's always the risk with a big intro. But whenever he's struggling, you just bring the stadium lights back up to half strength after the light show and have the batters squinting a bit to see the ball. Maybe quietly release some dry ice while the lights are down too. "Baltimore fog, what are you going to do?"  😉

I love it.

Always loved Trevor Hoffman’s 

What’s the music after the whistle? Can’t tell.

It’s hard to really tell in that video with the fans cheering but it sounds like O Fortuna.

    • From here https://www.mlb.com/orioles/stats/ops/regular-season
    • Where are you getting your stats from that's not correct looking at OPS.
    • On the O's this year, Martinez would have been: 5th in OPS 5th in AVG 6th in HRs in 120 games
    • I think PFF is grading Roquan badly because the safeties behind him are playing like ass and it's making him look bad.  If teams are going to attack him over the middle on crossing routes with WRs (like KC did with Rice) he doesn't really stand much of a chance if the safeties behind him don't throw him a bone.  He's still a huge help in the run game.   In general I think PFF assigns a little too much blame to linebackers on passes over the middle, so unless you're an elite coverage guy at LB it's really hard to grade well.  The flip side to this is that teams probably need to adjust their coverage areas to account for the fact that LBs aren't going to be able to hold down WRs for long.  
    • Thanks. This tells me what my eyes have seen with Roquan. He's been a liability in coverage and the fact that Simpson is ahead of him is not good for our defensive leader. Do you have the PFF grades for offense too?
    • What you want is perfectly reasonable.  But you seem entirely to focused on money.  The team needs to work to improve.  I don't care what it costs, you shouldn't either.  They are going to spend money and payroll will be higher next year and the year after that.  We need them to make improvements and some of that is rightfully going to come from within and not cost much. The improvements that are needed are going to cost too, I'm not saying they wont.  But ownership and the GM should simply work in tandem to make sure the team has what it needs.  I am not really concerned about how much that costs because it should be able to be done without jumping this particular team into say top ten in payroll.
    • This is the right approach. the orioles should be spending more money and I believe they will, but I expect it to be measured with less risk (ie we won’t be handing out a Hader type deal or a  long term contract to Santander IMO) improving on some of the obvious weaknesses certainly makes sense.    1x SP: Burnes, Fried, Buehler 1x RH OF/DH: Martinez, O’Neill, Profar 1x 1B: (wishlist) Alonso, Walker
