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),

Missed by a blackjack hand.

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

Things picked up - 20,823 tonight.  With the possibility that tomorrow could be the clincher, I’d guess they’ll have a bigger crowd tomorrow.  

Many seats sold in the last week for the Nationals  series.  Around 1,800,000 after tonight with the Red Sox series left. Looks like 132,115 or so for that series.

Over 24,000 yesterday. Now at 1,801,273 with four games to go.  Should have around 142,000 or so  for the Red Sox series. 1,944,000 or so  for the year is higher then I thought.

I'd love to see the P&L for the Orioles.  We all know Angelos is a liar regarding what the Os can afford and not afford in terms of long-term contracts.  But this thread got me thinking...~2MM people at an avg ticket price of $34 (link to avg ticket price:  https://www.statista.com/statistics/203453/baltimore-orioles-average-ticket-price/) basically pays the entire big league roster by itself.  Sponsorships/Concessions/Concerts etc likely pay the front office staff and other facility/minor league expenses.  So basically Angelos is pocketing close to $100MM annually ($60MM national TV share + $40MM MASN TV share).  Heck, let's say I underestimated the "other expenses" outside of the MLB payroll by $50MM....he's still pocketing $50MM/year....

Highest attendance since 2017 and higher than 2009-11.

Should be comfortably back over 2 million next year with people who bought ticket plans for playoff access. I would be surprised if we can reach the 2.46M peak from 2014 without a World Series run this year, but things are definitely looking up.

I'm surprise he doesn't apply for food stamps.

I’m sure they blew through every expectation.  Having a close divisional race decided in the final series is a huge boon.  Really, things couldn’t have worked out better for them.  

I think the Splash Zone was a real stroke of genius.  Whoever thought of that should get a bonus.  Not only did those tickets sell well, but the constant images of it during the games just conveyed how fun the atmosphere is at the ballpark.

My ass wouldn't be sitting in the splash zone tonight. It's not fun when it's mid 50's 🤣

Don't forget about paying all the stadium and warehouse employees, the promo giveaway producers, oaying Sarasota FL, and especially the international complex infrastructure and all it's employees in the Dominican Republic.

There's alot of overhead fans don't even think about. Including powering a 45k capacity stadium with state of the art lighting and jumbo tron with fireworks.

Can you even call is a jumbotron when it's the smallest in the league?

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.

      Nail hit on head. It really comes down to the offense in the playoffs for us. I think our pitching is good enough overall especially the starters. Shaky sometimes sure, but they can hold their own most of the time. If we don't bring our "A" hitting game in the playoffs we won't go far.

      The bullpen has warts for sure, but if this offense doesn't figure out how to hit good pitching in the playoffs, the bullpen won't matter. Even I got a little excited when they put 5 and 9 up on the board Tues and Wed, and then it crashed back to reality last night when I remembered they were facing Schmidt and Stroman. When facing a real ace like Cole they were completely shut down. What's gonna happen next week when they face Skubal, Reagins, and/or Lugo? The mediocre bullpen won't matter if they can't figure out how to score some runs off pitchers like that...

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      Why carry four 1 inning guys over a LH long option? Cionel stinks and should not be on the roster over Povich when you still have Akin, Coulombe and Soto.

      Really would be nice to win tonight OR have DET lose so then they can play around Sat/Sun when the games would have no bearing on the seeding. Dont want this to come down to Sunday and having to win to get the 4 seed or then there will be some tough decisions that have to be made.
