I used to like that section because it was close to the bullpen and you had a chance at a home run souvineir. But now they are making that section undesirable. The wall has been pushed back and nobody wants to get soaked in 60-80 degree weather all evening long. If you think it's bad going to a game and seeing old folk just sitting around not cheering, wait til this happens. You'll lose the ticket revenue from those older folk altogether.

If this gets an extra 10 frigging people into the park, then why not?  At least they're trying, and they're embracing what the players are actually doing.  I don't think I'd sit there, but 25-ish years ago when I was going to games w/ my college buddies?  Oh yeah.

If you referring to me,I actually think it is a not bad idea. I was just saying bring back the napkin and condiment station and not say it is gor heath reasons and not the real reason. 

The May 30th one in the bleachers should be real wild. Heard they were planning a few more as long as is it goes fine

Personally, I remember Elrod tossing out wet towels to that section on hot days.

Living in Philly it’s hard for me to get to Camden Yards but I saw this new promotion and think it’s a good idea. Once the weather gets really hot, I’m sure it will get sold out as it is for tomorrows game. At my age, I’m not interested getting soaked on but there will always be teens or 20 year olds that would love it. Saw some girls with goggles on tonight. It’s a good promo and Bird Bath is the perfect name.

I wouldn’t ever sit in that section to get splashed with water but I’m glad it’s a success so far. People seem to be enjoying it. 

It is way more popular than I would of guessed.  But being 53 I might not be the best man to judge what is fun anymore.  LOL.The fans seem to be having a great time.

I think it's fantastic and a stroke of genius by the club to bring something new to the ballpark while also making the homer hose feel innocent too. 

I had reservations about that hose but with all the rest of the water stuff, plus seeing the players having fun, I'm won over.

Friday night's game was one of the most fun wins I can remember watching on TV. Felt special and defining of this team.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
