That video is pretty representative of the high quality of the O’s marketing department.

No fireworks?

Hopefully they’ll just be announcing the fireworks date at a later date!

I'm not sure what this says about my expectations for 2023, but I thought the backdrop in the video was the back of a toilet tank.

The Thank You Fans video was also so cheaply done last year and they used to be really good I guess technology has advanced backwards over the years. 

This quote from Hyde in the Sun was good:

The sixth and seventh victories of the Orioles’ 10-game winning streak last year came in front of two of the best Camden Yards crowds in Brandon Hyde’s first four seasons as their manager, with the giveaways for those games as much to thank as the team’s improved play. Afterward, he made a request of the club’s marketing department.

“We need to have a weekly Friday floppy hat night, Saturday Hawaiian shirt night,” Hyde said in July. “We’ll figure something out the other [days].”

I think the schedule is not bad. I wish they would bring back the player jerseys they gave away years ago from around late 2000’s to mid 2010’s. They for the most part have held up pretty well. Still have Brooks, Hardy, Markakis, Jones in the closet. They had a kids Manny one as well. A kids Adley would be a great idea.

I have to be fair here. They have been doing surveys last couple of years such as promo items and it looks like they have been paying attention to what people want. 
 

On paper this looks like best one in years. They sometimes add stuff as well.

Roch posted this on his blog today:

"The Orioles will set off fireworks after Friday night games on June 30, July 14, and Aug 4."

I am surprised not to see a Gunnar Henderson either T-Shirt or bobblehead.  I also hope they decide to do the bring your dog to the park games.  They haven't done that since the pandemic even though other teams did do it last year.

Well, at least we know they invested the extra free agent money in something......

I would guess he gets a T Shirt night. I would be surprised if he doesn’t.

One thing I did notice that looks like the Sunday games are all going to be at 1:35 this year  Some where at 1:05 last year.

Last year from, I think, start of June through Labor Day, the Peacock Network had weekly MLB game of the week on their pay channel.   It was at either 11:30 or 12:00.   Part of the deal was that no other MLB games were allowed to be scheduled before 1:30 on those Sundays, so they would have an exclusive window.

Maybe Peacock has the deal starting in April this year so maybe the Orioles  [and all other MLB teams] aren't allowed to play before 1:35 all season if they aren't in the Peacock game?

The Orioles were on that game once, in July vs the Angels.   The first Orioles game in (decades?) that was not available to me on TV in my living room based on my current cable subscription and capabilities.  (I could watch the AppleTV games we were in because the times we are on Apple were free, but I think in the future those games will on Apple+).

Too bad on the website it still shows gates opening 60 minutes before first pitch and not back to 2 hours or even a compromise in the middle of an hour and a half.

I believe that almost all other teams open at least 90 minutes before. It's very unfortunate if the O's stick to 60 minutes again this year.
