I think they sign the lease in  September or right before the playoffs.  Looks like John will have to work for development around the stadium and further out with the CBAC,GBC,Breamble group and even the Ravens. Should be interesting to see how all the entities work together to redevelop around The Walk, near Topgolf and closer to the stadium. Heard the Ravens might build a parking garage.So that might free up some space between the stadiums.

I took my young son to his first Orioles game at Camden Yards today, we had a blast. The Russell St exit was backed up on i95 almost a mile from the exit (worst backup in 32 seasons taking that exit),

Through 30 home dates (Friday’s game), the O’s attendance was 602,069, up from 472,840 last year, a 27.3% increase. If that rate of increase were maintained, the O’s would draw 1.737 mm fans this year

Looks generally good for MLB, with attendance up for 24 of 30 teams.  I wonder what’s driving Cleveland’s big increase?  They haven’t had a good year at all.  I guess they sold a lot of season tickets based off last year’s playoff appearance.

NFL might have exclusivity to that song, based on the Sunday Night Football intro. Granted, the lyrics have been changed and Carry Underwood/Faith Hill have been singing it. Still the same song otherwise though.

They should only play that for teams like the Browns and Cardinals

Why just the Browns and Cardinals? I don't get it. The Lyrics are "I been waitin all day for Sunday Night" sang to the tune of "I Hate Myself For Lovin You."

It's a joke.  Browns and Cardinals fans have suffered a long time so they should get the original lyrics.  Maybe throw in the Lions too.

And now, having explained it, the joke is dead.  Press F to pay respects.

Last night was the 71st home game.  Through 70 home games, the O’s were at 1,597,807, compared to 1.209,105 last year.  That’s a 32.1% increase over last year.  

Adding in last night’s meager 14,442, with 10 home dates left, home attendance is now 1,612,249.   So, the O’s would need to average 28,775 for the remaining 10 home dates to reach 1.9 mm for the year.  That includes the immediate 4 game series with the Rays, a 2 game weekday series with the Nats, and a closing 4 game set with the Red Sox.  I’d say it’s an uphill battle to reach 1.9 mm, but not impossible.  It may depend on how close the divisional race is on that final homestand.

I think they finish a little above 1,900,000. Tonight looks about 20,000 or slightly above. Friday is a sellout. Saturday right around that. They opened up the right field corner for that game. Sunday looks good ,30,000 or so. Nationals games in the 15,000 or so. Saturdays game against the Red Sox is also close to a sellout.RIght field corner is also being sold for that game. Looks like somewhere around 290,000 or so attendance for the last 10 games which takes them over 1,900,000 .

Attendance last year was 1,368,367 but only had 78 gates.  Should be about 36% over last year or so if you add in the three dates. 

 

Remember today's gane starts at 7:15 .Fox game.

I'm surprised.  It looked bigger than that on TV.

But thanks for the update.  I was actively curious.

I was there. I thought it looked like a big crowd all around the infield, and there were a few emty seats sprinkled through out the middle interior seats of some of the sections, but once you got to the end of the foul lines you could notice big chunks of sections with empty seats. Now that I'm thinking critically about it, I think close to 25k sounds pretty accurate. The crowd was very loud and cheered alot for the Orioles. They even had the Bowie Baysox hype man there and he was doing his best to energize the crowed. I mean he was really giving all his energy into getting people to lighten up and cheer for the team. So was the Fired Up Guy (who's name is Merrell).

Overall it was a decent crowd. They supported the team. I just wish there were a few drunk hecklers who would have been effective at distracting the Rays pitchers and getting them off their game LOL.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      Yeah both Burnes and Hyde said after the game it's because Burnes is going on regular rest to start the first WC game and so he was shortened up a bit.

      You seem to pine for guys in AAA and then (with one notable exception) judge them very harshly if they don’t perform well instantly in the majors.  This is not the time to start experimenting with Young, and that’s no reflection on him at all IMO.

      I agree with the part about Elias. He needs to operate with a little more humility (regarding his bullpen approach) and pivot in the offense regarding how he puts a pen together. He needs to get away from the arrogant thinking in believing that we are always "the smartest guys in the room" and can fix other teams junk/unwanted parts. That is fine to do some time (regardless of how much you spend). But you can't construct an entire pen made of castoffs and almost no guys with elite/power/strikeout stuff. Yes it worked great with Felix, Perez/Lopez in 22', Cano in 23'. But the problem is that we are in '24. And some of those lightening in the bottle guys have reverted back to what their talent says that they are - mediocre. We have a pen full of decent/league average/mediocre arms. That's not what you really want heading into October.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      Also, since there’s another interesting discussion going on here, I think it’s time for Hyde to have an uncomfortable conversation with Adley. I hate everything I’m about to say, because Adley is my favorite Oriole. But we have to acknowledge where we are.  Over the last few months, the only sensible approach with Adley — other than the IL, which apparently he hasn’t been eligible for — has been to keep penciling him into the lineup almost everyday and hoping he figures it out. He has a track record of consistent lifelong excellence, so it’s felt like just a matter of time before he busts the slump and rights the ship.  But he hasn’t. Adley’s line over the last 3 months, almost half a season now, is so bad that it requires a double check to be sure it’s right: .186 / .274 / .278 / .552. A 61 wRC+. And -0.2 fWAR. He has been a below replacement player for 3 months now. He has been the 3rd-worst qualified hitter in baseball over that span, and the 7th-worst overall qualified player. The “qualified” part does make it a little misleading — most of the guys who’ve been this bad have long since been benched. I think you have to consider McCann, at least in Burnes’s starts. He’s been hitting a bit (114 wRC+ since the ASB), and even if he wasn’t on a bit of a heater, his normal baseline is still better than a .552 OPS. If you do continue to play him full-time, you just can’t treat him like he’s *Adley* anymore. You have to treat him like the bad backup catcher he’s been. He has to hit at the bottom of the order. The very bottom. There’s really no reasoned basis upon which you could want to have him get more ABs than guys like Mullins or Urias right now. And you have to PH for him liberally — whichever of Kjerstad/O’Hearn doesn’t start should be looking at Adley’s slot as their most likely opportunity.  As I said, I love Adley. It’s been brutal watching him. But there are 25 other guys on the team who deserve the best shot to win a ring. And that means you can’t just keep stubbornly handing all the ABs to a guy who is desperately lost, on the blind hope that he’ll suddenly find it.

      I didn’t post it in the game thread no, but I’m also not looking for credit. I thought it was a bad move at the time to remove Burnes in the first place, and choosing Cano at that point after he’d been bombed by those exact hitters, felt odd and off to me. The only real defense I could come up with was who if not Cano?  But taking Burnes out is essentially admitting that winning that night wasnt your top priority anyway, so why not also rest Cano, who you absolutely need in the playoffs and has pitched a lot?  I just didn’t get it in real time, and I still don’t.

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?
