I’m going to ST games on March 9 (Clearwater), 10 and 12.   I think Holliday and maybe Kjerstad will be in MiL camp by then.   I’m really hoping to see Westburg, Cowser, Norby, Grayson and Ortiz while

Kade Strowd?   That's an interesting one.   Hasn't pitched above A+ but has a big arm.   Slightly surprised on Prieto.    Holliday?   Have they done that with the other 1st round picks?

I feel like maybe they did with Adley? Just let Holliday absorb some ML vibes and send him on his way after a few days.

I betcha Lewin Diaz just can't wait to get into spring training. :D

No big surprises here for me though I'm a little surprised on Neustrom after the year he had last year. I might have given Haskin a look over him this spring. 

Agree - would be nice to get a look at anybody who can theoretically play CF.

Good to see Handley on the list. Holliday is exciting. 

It's nice to just give him that taste of the big leagues and get him around guys like Adley and Gunnar. He'll probably get cut when minor league spring starts up so he can get ready for his season and the guys he'll be playing with.

Speaking of which, nice to see Cowser on the list too. One of those new ranking lists had him as a solid CF. Not sure he's perceived that way around here...

Cowser can play CF effectively now, but I don't think that will be a long term position. He's similar to Hays was when he came up initially. Won't kill ya, but he'll be about average or slightly below OOA out there initially. As his footspeed drops off, he'll need to move to the corner but should be good enough to play the big LF in Camden Yards for a bit before ultimately settling in at RF where his arm plays well anyways.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By theobird · Posted

      I’m a big supporter of Brandon Hyde, but the last game against Detroit I think he made a mistake. Second and third, nobody out….I would have had mullins bunt. He’s a good bunter, and with holiday at third I think that’s walk off.

      Ohtani

      So I guess Ohtani decided he was bored this year since he wasn’t pitching or playing the field, and decided to steal bases just to have something else to do besides hit.

      I’d say maybe they would have reached 2013 levels (2.357 mm), which would have been about another 76,000 fans.  I seriously doubt they would have reached 2014 (2.464 mm, another 183,000 fans).

      Great point. You are right Frobby. It wouldn't have been quite as bad if the Orioles dropped these series and they had to face Skubal both times but to be fortune enough not to get him either time and still lose 4 of 6 was even more disheartening.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Gurgi · Posted

      Pretty much exactly what I am thinking.  I even had to cut back on my watching the games because the frustration was killing me.  Now I save all games on DVR and peek at the score if it is safe to watch.  This is odd because when the Orioles suck and they are far below .500 I watch every single game.  Sometimes every single inning of the year.   Crazy if the Orioles had STARTED the year sucking and had to spend the last two months in an amazing race to catch up for a chance for the playoffs we would all be thrilled.   But end the season on a three month skid of misery and the same playoff spot just feels empty.
