A 3 man team -- Geoff Arnold, Brett Hollander, and an engineer, are going on the road to KC this weekend.  It will be the first Orioles radio. Network broadcast with the announcers at a road game since 2019.

But don't think they have "come to their senses" or anything like that.  They'll be back broadcasting the @Toronto series next week from their normal perch at Camden Yards, staring a monitors again.

They are only making the trip to KC because it would be impossible for them to do the game from the Oriole Park booth this weekend while a Paul McCartney concert is going on.

Seems like a decent thread to vent on MLB...Blackout restrictions will prevent me from watching the O's this weekend from 5 hours away in OKC.

This is a longer distance than the O's playing in NY. Nice job "growing the game". 

I'll be listening to the guys on the radio.

This organization is just pathetic. Started reading this thread got my hopes up and then poof up in smoke. 

Why don't they just set up some monitors at WBAL and call the game instead of teasing us by going to KC? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Probably found some cheap flights and a good deal on a hotel in KC.

All about money. 
 

Cutting costs at every opportunity. 
 

 

Certainly seems so. Does anybody doubt the following?

    1. Relative to other MLB owners, the owners of the Orioles are far more committed to reducing their current costs of operation (and increasing the cash flow available to them) and less committed to building the long-term value of their franchise.

    2. Either the Angeloses have decided to put the team up for sale shortly after Peter's death, or they believe there's a good possibility they'll be doing that within a couple of years after that event.

Wouldn't it be better for them to drive an old van to KC or with gas prices being sky high is an economy seat just as cheap?

Electric or hybrid van maybe.

I've hitch-hiked from KC to Philadelphia, but that was about 50 years ago and probably would be a little extreme.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
