I do love the fact they got Kondwani Fidel to do this poem again. I appreciate the way the org has really embraced the city - all of the city - the last few years by inviting local artists and really

I'm with you Tony...the entire "city"uniform is an insult to the proud tradition of Oriole logos and uniforms...I admit it, Im a hopeless "old school" "get off my lawn" guy when it comes to logos and

This 100%. The whole thing is a gimmick to move merch. If a team wants to be progressive and introduce a wacky alternate, that's fine, but I hate that Nike and the league have forced every team to do this from the top down.

As an aside, embracing your City Connect look reeks of low self-esteem. If your fans prefer the Nike merch-dump alternate composed of non-team colors to your normal look (looking at you, Washington and Miami), you are doing something seriously wrong.

What’s odd is that Nike refuses to do what Fanatics does and allow all four jersey colors to be sold as authentics, and customized.  In 2017, you could buy all four colored jerseys with the OPACY 25th Anniversary patch.  I got a Mancini and Davis, and at least one other.  At one point, I had six customized authentics total.  

Now, they don’t offer that option at all, and just started offering bare offerings of a Rutschman black alternate.  No orange alternates at all.

No way... that can't be it.   Too bland.   It's a setup.  Someone is trolling us.   The real thing probably gonna have crabs with flourescent Maryland flag designs on their shells.

Until it’s confirmed I’m going to choose this isn’t the jersey. Just terrible.

I’m not a bit a big Maryland flag guy, but they could have at least worked the state flag into the uniform. 

Maybe the MASN production team was behind this effort.

That’s pretty bad. It’s like Nike just got to the Orioles and laughed and provided no effort whatsoever. 

No Charm City? How about the city that reads? 

Should have went for the orange jumpsuit look w/ some Wire references.

      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

      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.
