I have Peacock because much of what used to be on NBC Sports (mostly Premier League soccer) is now on there.  But I forgot the O's were on early until too late.

I'm still annoyed that MASN isn't on Hulu or as a stand-alone thing, but I'll continue my work around until such time as the Orioles let me pay them in a reasonable way for their content.

It’s absurd that MASN didn’t have the game

I suppose, but not as absurd as the fact that the only legal way to stream MASN without a cable/satellite subscription is through DirectTV/ATT's $100 a month plan.

I have Comcast so I don’t have those problems. But, MASN is owned by the Orioles yet they don’t televise every game. Beyond stupid…..And they certainly charge the tv providers enough per viewer

MLB sold exclusive rights to a Sunday noon game.  This was outside the Orioles control and blaming them is ridiculous.

Ok ….So the MLB main office are a bunch of buffoons. Sell a game that would have national interest. When it was done the Orioles were expected to be in the basement. MLB shouldn’t be able to “sell” the rights to a game under a teams RSN. As I mentioned, if they wanted to sell it outside of Baltimore and Anaheim fine. But, it’s just stupid to force fans to buy various streaming services. I have Disney, Netflix, and regular peacock in addition to my cable bill. Buying TV is just getting ridiculous.

I think the larger problem with MLB television rights is hyper-localization.  We have these ridiculous blackout rules and streaming restrictions because MLB and the individual teams do not want to even slightly trample on the local RSN's rights and revenues. We have gargantuan revenue differences between teams mostly because each team gets to negotiate their own deals. I would much rather have a centrally-controlled broadcast system.  Then we might have a setup where I can just pay MLB $X and I get to watch any game I want.

You could also look at it this way... the game on Peacock was the only game, perhaps all year, that someone in the DC/Baltimore territory without cable/satellite can legally stream without buying a $100/month AT&T package.

I agree.  Just wanted to be clear that this isn’t an Orioles issue.

      Sept 15 Roster Moves

      It's a good thing Irvin only cost the Orioles this guy: I was pretty skeptical of Hernaiz being anything more than a utility guy and had no issues with moving him for a guy who could potentially help in the rotation. This problem with Irvin is he went from this guy in 2023: to this guy in 2024: Don't worry though, we could lose Irvin because we have this guy in AAA who we gave up Norby and Stowers for:

      Was the offense just in a run of bad luck on this road trip?

      I am "old school" and I don't disagree, but it also doesn't have to be either/or in my opinion. I would substitue the word "tiring" for "obnoxious" above. 😀 I admittedly don't understand all the data and look at some of it in bewilderment. You can teach old dogs new tricks but it takes longer. I'm trying to learn and follow but still hang on to what I know best. (My smart phone ain't real smart either!!!!!) I suspect I may not be alone in the realm of Oriole fandom.

      Agree 100%.

      I agree.  But I also think batting Kjerstad fourth was inane.  He's a rookie and he's just coming off the DL.  Put him lower in the lineup.

      I guess we'll find out over the offseason.  The danger is that Elias looks at Eflin, Grayson, Suarez and Kramer as a solid 1-4, assumes that Povich, McDermott and Rogers can battle it out for the fifth slot, and then decides we don't need to try to get a front line starter to replace Corbin Burnes.

      The offense looked bad the day we almost got no-hit. It honestly looked okay yesterday. Adley smashed the ball leading off the 2nd into a lineout (Cowser doubled later in the inning). Santander smashed into a lineout in the 8th before Adley's HR. The Tigers basically out-homered us but we were getting baserunners on and taking better at-bats overall. The complaints about the lack of situational hitting/smallball are misguided IMO. A homer-heavy lineup can get the job done if the homers are hit. There are some slumps and some holes in the lineup (injury replacements for Westburg, Mountcastle, and Urias) who can't make up for the slumping players like they did early in the year.

      The underlying metrics always suggested Norby was due for serious regression, but some people are just desperate not to give Elias credit because they need to be able to point to some single, solitary thing and say, "This is why we're underperforming!" and the guy running the show is the obvious target. I think Norby and Stowers have value as major leaguers, but long-term I don't think they're guys we're going to miss. Entirely possible Trevor Rogers is someone forgettable as well. I guess sometimes both teams lose trades.
