Informative thank you. What’s the VPN fee?

There's a quote somewhere on there. I can't remember. Not as much as the MLB subscription. Maybe half? I went with the two year plan and just forget about it for 24 months.

Great job by ESPN introducing the nation to the Orioles tonight. I thought they were just going to talk about the Red Sox and the Orioles would be incidental.

Yeah I was surprised how much focus was on the Orioles.  Even ESPN is sick of the Red Sox… definitely too many distractions from the game if it were an ordinary Sunday Night Baseball broadcast, but ki

You can use stream east and pretty much works every game and don’t have to pay vpn fee either.  That the only way I can watch it as I am in the blackout area yet because I live 30 minutes west of Charlotte our provider doesn’t carry it but we still blacked out on mlb package.

https://www.privateinternetaccess.com has worked like a charm for me for almost 2 full years now as I cut the cord from DirecTV. Made no sense for me to pay over $100 / mo for 12 months just for six months of O's games. Now I just pay the baseball subscription and the yearly VPN fee, which is reasonable. I occasionally have to re-start my Mac if there's a problem logging in (maybe three times this year). I begin with the tab for MLB-TV closed. I shut the website down and log out after every game. I initiate the VPN and then re-open the MLB-TV tab and log in. I log out of MLB-TV after every game. I can't stay logged into the VPN when I'm not tuned in to baseball because my other streaming services do not always allow out of US log ins. But it's easy enough just to do this for O's games.

My Mac is a Mac Mini and I just run an HDMI into an open slot on my HDTV. I run a cable from the headphones out jack and into my stereo. 

Private Internet Access is my go-to VPN as well. The subscription also gives you access to a mobile device which also works well, since otherwise I’m geo-blocked from a lot of US newspapers and articles.

Yea, they did a good job with that.

Just one man's opinion, but I think some of these national telecasts get too cute for their own good at times, though. One or two too many mic'd ups, guest interviews, and special features across the entire production.

I agree. I like a unique feature here and there in the national broadcasts but in games last night the game itself starts to feel like a side show to the other constant segments.

I think you mean the Red Sox are playing on ESPN and the Os will also be there. :D

It turned out to be the opposite.

ESPN threw Adley in everyone's face last night. It was almost too much, but it was a nice change from slobbering over the Red Sox.

I just wish they threw Mateo more love. I may have missed it, but they seemed to totally miss his mid-season profile change.

Glad the Orioles got some extra exposure, but the broadcast almost felt like a spring training/exhibition game at times.

      I imagine the goal is to get him available to just give them anything out of the pen in the wild card round. Depending on how that goes and if the O’s can advance who knows.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By wildcard · Posted

      The interesting thing about 1B is Mayo.     Elias keeps pushing Mayo at 3B.   But if Westburg is healthy he is better at 3B.   And they don't seem to play Mayo has much as they could at 1B where he might have a better chance at a regular job.    DH might be his best position. If Santander leaves, then Kjerstad probably gets an every day spot at RF.   Elias might want to see Kjerstad hit well in RF before he hands over 2B to Holliday.   Too many struggling rookies at the same time is not good for wins.   Mayo is  behind Kjerstad and Holliday IMO in getting a lot of playing time. However, developing Kjerstad, Holliday and Mayo  are key parts of the O's future no  matter how Elias develops them.

      Walker is definitely an upgrade over Mountcastle.  Walker has cleared an .800 OPS the past three seasons.  Mountcastle has only done it once -- his rookie year.  Plus Mountcastle hasn't even cleared 20 homers since 2022.  Mountcastle is good in a platoon, used against lefties, but otherwise he's fallen off. Walker is 33, which is a bit of a risk, but which makes me think he could be had on a short term deal.  That said I think the O's will have competition for Walker.  He's one of the most underrated bats in the league.   If the O's think Kjerstad can play 1B then I think they should maybe go with him and look for a new RF (unless they bring back Santander, which seems more unlikely now).  But I don't know about Kjerstad's glove there. Mayo's glove at 1B may be even more questionable than Kjerstad's.  Plus Mayo just hasn't shown he's ready with his bat yet.  I'm against assuming guys will figure out how to hit MLB pitching within a presumed timeframe.  Mayo hasn't shown he's there yet.  Let him work his way into the lineup rather than giving him a starting job.  But with him there's also the issue of where his defense plays best, or if it plays anywhere.

      So either Grayson won’t face hitters this year (ie he’s done for the year) or he’s in the pen.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I feel better after getting a W against the Giants; somewhere along the way I had stated I felt we almost had to get at least one from them, and now we have.  However, lets not act like this one win means the offense has broken its slump and we're suddenly going to start rolling.  I hope we do, but we're one bad game away from feeling like we'll never score a run again.  If we go down 3-0 or something early tonight, it will be hard to resist the doomsday feeling - we're just as likely to get one-hit or something stupid like that tonight as we are to score 5 or 6 runs.  Its a tough schedule to finish the season, tougher than maybe we would have thought with Detroit playing so well.  Still not counting my chickens but yeah that W yesterday changed the calculus a good bit in our favor.

      Update: As expected, the corresponding move for Coulombe is Burch Smith, but he's going on the IL instead of being DFA'd. Right adductor/groin strain.
