Cubbies!   My nephew’s closest friend is getting married in Chicago this weekend and several members of my family will be catching the O’s at Wrigley Field while they’re in town.  Wish I was going, Wrigley Field is definitely on my bucket list!

Will be nice to see Trey Mancini, though he is having an awful season so far and may not play much.

I went last year for the first time since 1982. It was very different than it was back then. I was struck by the number of young people and women at the stadium. Two friends and I went on a 9 city MLB trip last August and Wrigley had the most young adults of any stadium by far.

I was there about seven years ago. Are the bathroom troughs still there?

Looking at schedule it's seven out of the next nine games being day games when you extend the schedule to include the Rays series. One of the day games in the Rays series is a 4:05 start, but I still count it as a day game.

I can't recall a stretch where the Orioles played this many day games in this short of a window.

Wrigleyville is a cool part of Chicago.  I got to see a Sosa v. McGuire game there back in early 2000s.  Had an absolute blast.  Seats are small, lotta blocked views, and can’t see the field when you are walking around but it’s a gem of a stadium.

Yeah, we were in partially blocked view seats. It seemed like large portion of the seats were.

      Orioles vs Tigers/KC (Wild Card series)

      By forphase1 · Posted

      No, as it appears to be a group think decision, where all have some input.  In the end it really doesn't matter if it's all Elias, Sigbot or Hyde or some combination of the 3, Hyde is the one who defends it to the media/fans, and he's the one who gets paid to take the critism/blame.  Either way, starting Slater is the move that WHOEVER make the decisions appears to love, so that's what I expect to see, even if it doesn't make sense based on this years performances.

      Baker optioned, Davidson called up

      By eddie83 · Posted

      I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see.

      You think Hyde alone makes the decision?

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By ace20251 · Posted

      Gil has been terrible in his last 2 starts, he has  given up 10 earned runs in 11 innings

      It's a meaningless game so hard to read anything into it. It could also be more of an "opener" gambit so that Davidson can be brought in with favorable matchups. For a team that believes so strongly in matchups, I don't know why we don't use the opener more often, especially when it has been effective against us.

      Both are deserving. That’s not the point. How they construct the pen in ‘25 may be different. None of the guys you mentioned have been pen guys, although McDermott probably should be. Young and Rogers are more of a starter repertoire. Armbruster and others, like Tony said in another thread, should be pen arms. You need flexible and effective arms to move up and down, while they gain experience. We need some guys with some swing and miss stuff. Adding Bautista back into the back end moves everyone down a notch, but some of the guys we have now will likely have to move on for the purposes of flexibility. There is always some natural turnover, and for good reason.

      And?  If they were buying his career stats, then they were fooled by a bait and switch.  Yeah, career numbers are good, but they don't reflect the reality of this year.  .541 OPS against LHP.  Elias/Hyde has a tendency to bring in guys who might have had good career numbers, but who are not playing at that level in the current year, but then letting them play like they are performing at career levels.  Slaters numbers this year don't reflect that he should be getting starts versus LHP over Cowser, even with the struggles Cowser has had.  That said, I fully expect to see Slater starting as that's the move Hyde will love, and will then speak eloquently at how great Slater is hitting against LHP this year, even though that's clearly a lie.
