That’s pretty great - does it show up as a message in the ballpark app?!

Pregame - how’s Pratt Street Ale House these days (Oliver’s back in the day)?

I believe if you’re in the Ballpark App and look at “tickets,” there should be some box that says “in game experience” or something similar that lets you play games, upgrade, and some other stuff.

 

Granted, it’s been a few seasons since I tried it, so I apologize if it isn’t there anymore.

Just go on the Os website to buy your tickets but understand that a lot of the best seats won’t get released until the day of the game.

I recommend staying in Montana!!!!  Kidding, kidding. OPACY is a great place. Pickles and whatever the new corporate Sliders is are close & easy.

Boog’s is a must! I had it all four days when I came in 1992. Does he still cook at some games? Yes, Montana is beautiful. And relatively quiet. I’ve lived here all of my 65 years and never take it for granted.

 

Boog stayed away during covid and he is over 80 now, but he does still make appearances.  And his hands are still huge!   I don't know if the food is quite what you will remember from 1992, but for the atmosphere et al, it is a regular stop for me.

LP Steamers in Locust Point for a true Baltimore crabhouse  Are you renting a car?

Haha, haven't been back in decades but that was a corner bar when I was a kid. I used to walk down the alley with a bucket to get a bucket of beer for my dad. I was maybe 8 years old. Grew up at 1128 E. Fort  Ave. The park across the street was abandoned land that once had row houses. the Coca Cola bottling plant was next to the vacant lot. Memory lane.

Crazy that there are more billionaires per capita in Montana than any other state.

Always heard how awesome it is.

I highly recommend Amici’s if you go over to Little Italy.  They have daily to go specials which are very reasonable and of exceptional quality.  A few weeks ago on a Thursday night I had a Rigatoni Bolognese entre for $10.  Generous portion,  if you have a mini fridge in your hotel room you’ll have enough for before and after the game!

That area and the Locust Point area has grown with McHenry Row and the many apartments and upscale bars and restaurants now.

Any suggestions on how to get the best seats as  the ticket websites show the good spots as unavailable (would love one game right behind home plate and on TV there always seems like empty seats). Also, best pregame hangouts around the stadium…I’m staying at the Days Inn a couple blocks from Camden Yards. Thank you. And yes my screen name is a nod to the late great #19 Dave McNally.

Pregame hangout is at Pickles Bar area a few blocks from the stadium. I'll get back to you with seat recommendations after the game against the Nationals at the moment.

Moderately tax friendly.  Beautiful.  Cheap land.  No sales or Inheritance tax.  Seems like a pretty astute decision to set up shop out there.  
 

It’s beyond amazing if you like the outdoors.

I’m taking the Light Rail right from BWI to essentially the front door of the Days Inn. Where I live Uber isn’t a thing but I have downloaded the app if I want to get away from the Ballpark area.

They have water taxis to certain locations and the Circulator bus that is not that reliable anymore but free. 

Miss Shirley's in the Inner Harbor is good girl breakfast but crowded on weekends.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.

      I’d have brought up Young immediately after DFAing Kimbrel. Baker has no place on this club this year. Would have been nice to see Young up here.

      Yeah, but they could've brought him up a month ago and seen what they might have...And Im not "pining" for Brandon Young, just wondering if he's any better than some we have in the pen..
