Going to the game on Tues....

There should be lots right next to the stadium.


I have not been to a game in years, and may also come up this week, as I live in Manassas and will be playing in the big bridge tournament this upcoming week in B’more at the Hilton.  Bridge and baseball don’t mix, I know, but it is a great way to keep my brain sharp as I age.

since that damn stadium was being built when I went to law school at U. of MD in B’more from 1990 to 1993 and caused me plenty of headaches finding a parking space on the street, due to fighting with construction workers trying to do the same thing to save a few bucks from parking in a garage, it owes me big time!!

If you can’t get a spot in a stadium lot, I recommend the Penn Street Garsge, corner of Penn & W. Pratt Streets.  It’s maybe a 5-7 minute walk to the stadium.  The walking route between there and the stadium takes you right past Pickles Pub, the Brooks Robinson statue, and a number of vendors selling soda, water, peanuts and hot dogs at much cheaper prices than inside the stadium.

We'll be coming up Saturday for the Rockies series. I don't want to take anything away from the parking question, but I did want to let everyone know that I have never watched a game in person at the stadium where the O's won. Bet accordingly.

I will second the Penn Street Garage.  I find it easy to get in and out and I do not have to fight much traffic.  I come down from Pennsylvania, so it is easy for me to get on MLK blvd, and then turn left onto Pratt and then left onto Penn St. and the garage entrance is there.  I then enjoy the relaxing walk on Pratt St to get to the game. 

For three years, I had free street parking because my daughter attended U of Md. Med school and she lived on McHenry St which was right across the MLK at Pratt St.

There is a Sunoco gas station right across the street from Pickles that has event parking.

Use the SpotHero app. I usually pick a garage for $12. Believe it is the Harbor Court garage off Light STreet

Correct (as that’s where I live, actually and where my car is currently parked).

One thing I’ll point out is that you’ll want to do your reservation starting at like 5 (I think).

If you start your reservation earlier than the evening then the price more than doubles. Not a big deal if you’re coming only for the game, but if you’re planning on coming earlier in the day, then it’s something to be aware of.

    • Apparently he is also seeking extensions. The problem appears to be what many on this board were saying it likely was instead of a JA problem.     
    • Looks like Eduardo Rodriguez to the DBacks for 4/$80 mm.   Two observations: - Not an unimaginable contract - So much for ERod insisting on playing on the East Coast to be closer to his family.   
    • Of course, that $250,000 per year will be worth about $50,000 in today’s money in couple of decades.    I remember my dad telling me that when he was in law school (early 1950s) he and his friends agreed that if someone guaranteed them $10,000 a year for life, they’d be set.  
    • Seems like there was more to that interview.  Wish I could see the rest of it.  
    • Starter that would probably have been at AAA in 2024. Taken by the Guardians.  26, only 5'11".  Probably a reliever if he makes it to the majors. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=gillis000con   Not taken were: Hudson Haskin, soon to be 25 year old outfielder with 60 speed, and the ability to put up a 360 OBP and a 800 OPS in both AA and AAA.  2nd round pick.  Right handed bat who might be about to back up Mullins in center a some point in 2024.  Doesn't have to be on 40 man but could be in ST.  Coming off hip surgery that shorten his 2023.   Poor arm and lack of power make him a bench player.  But a good line drive hitter.  Makes up for poor jumps and routes with his speed. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=haskin000hud Maverick Handley, will be 26 years old in March catcher that could be the O's 3rd catcher in 2024.   Had a 373 OBP at AAA last year.  Good on the base paths.   Strong arm.  Threw out 34% of base stealer last year.  Doesn't need to be on the 40 man but will be in ST.  Had 9 errors in 2024 which  is too high. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=handle000mav        
    • He becomes a free agent at the end of the year.  It’s a one year thing.  If they are really good, it will have been worthwhile, but they could just be mediocre. 
    • This would likely be their best investment.  Pay for great management that can find cheaper talent.
