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

The second that heinous Rockies uniform was placed first was the end of that article for me. lol  Uniforms are always in the eye of the beholders. Personally, I find these drab and boring. But th

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

Recommendation to those who geek out on uniforms:
Uni-watch.com is a great website for those interested in the minutia, history, custom fan-art, general updates and leaks revolving around what teams are doing. It is equal parts fun and factual. And when I say minutia, that is not hyperbole:

 

Like last year, they will be keeping track of city connect again and have multiple posts on the subject already this year. Back in Sept they posted How Does Gen-Z Feel About City Connect Uniforms? where Phil explains why the initiative exists to go along with some fun Red Sox hate.

Definitely worth adding to your weekly traipse around the internet.

I've even purchased some retro O's stirrups to brandish at games. It's fun.

If there are  that many people in the stands they can wear whatever they want.

 

Padres connect unis last year were $$$.  The Nats were pretty great, also.  I hold out hope the Os will be good.  

I think I'm in the minority, but I was a fan of the Angel's city connects jerseys, and in general I think it's a cool thing to do for teams and their fans.

The Braves have a pretty slick site ready regarding the details of their City Connect: https://www.mlb.com/braves/fans/city-connect

As far as when dem O's will sport theirs...according to Uni-Watch:

Meanwhile, MLB has also revealed the on-field debut dates for the rest of this seasons’s CC uniforms:

  • Texas Rangers: April 21
  • Seattle Mariners: May 5
  • Cincinnati Reds: May 19
  • Baltimore Orioles: May 26
  • Pittsburgh Pirates: June 27

No word yet on the unveiling dates. In the past, however, CC unveilings have taken place a few days before the on-field debut.

      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..
