Not sure if this info was available online. Couldn't find anything so will try to keep track here: Edit: Only considered games started, not when brought in as sub, except for plate appearances.

Should we all be excited with our great playing in spring training, with a record about to be 13-2? 

It's always better to win than to lose,  but I refuse to get too excited about anything in spring other than just having baseball being played again.  That said the way Mayo and a few others are playing is hard to keep calm.

Great to put faces and hitting stances to many of our exciting minor leagures. It's best to temper spring season success because all to often it means nothing come opening bell. We do have some exciting youngsters and our farm has been on real display. It takes many more than 26 to win the regular season and I believe we have the depth.

Two MLB quality lineups.  Mayo at 1B and a plus IF will get some reps for Team 2.  Hopefully Suarez gets a ton of GBs.

That's what I was thinking. Both of these lineups are better than some that will be fielded by some teams this season.

Most of the players hitting well will be in AAA when the season starts.

This seems to happen most years. My guess is the guys who are on the bubble of getting a roster spot play their hearts out to try to win a spot, while the guys who are guaranteed a spot are taking it a little bit easier, working on stuff, etc.

I think it just showcases the depth in the system. 
1. Our “B” lineup is better than most teams.

2. When we sub in game, better players are coming in than other teams.

3. It’s only 15 games.

Cowser has been in CF in 5 of his 8 starts this spring

I think it is the percentage play if Mullins ends up needs a few weeks to give Cowser the try at it.     McKenna makes team to caddy if Mullins is on the IL.

He isn't Kevin Kiermaier but it also probably wouldn't hurt in his second try at MLB Arms to get to feel like he's contributing on defense if he can, and Hyde to be able to tell him the cliches like don't worry if you are hitting .172 on April 13th, just go catch the ball.

Granted the first small sample on defense was discouraging like on offense, but the Sigbot has always meant for him to be a usable CF.    CF Cowser that thrives has Brandon NImmo upside, while Mullins tries to close in on that Brandon Nimmo contract.

Look how deep this team is.  Those are two very talented lineups.  I’ll be at the Sarasota game today and I’m looking forward to seeing Burnes, though I wouldn’t have minded a second look at Suarez, either.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I didn't watch a pitch Sunday after that Saturday debacle. I had a charity ride to attend anyways, but I was not wasting a Sunday on this 2024 squad.  I'll probably watch some of the Yankees game, but my heart is out of this squad. I still want them to win, but they have given me no reason since May to think this team has any special abilities.  Injuries hurt them for sure, but they just don't have that "it" factor. They have the choke factor down pat though. I can deal with a bad team. Hell, I ran this place through the darkest, leanest years.  But what I can't deal with is an anti-clutch team. This is a team that can look victory in the face and find a way to lose. This is team with no ability to finish off a comeback.  Hell, even in their walk offs it's after their relievers choked away a lead.  The lack of hitting is boring. The lack of situational hitting is boring. The strikeout/homerun all or nothing approach is boring. The fact that they no longer steal bases or put pressure on the defense unless you count Masolino getting guys thrown out by 10 feet, is boring. The fact that both of their super prospects not came up did poorly, but literally crapped the bed and hit like pitchers is boring.  The fact that both of their number one overall selections have been either bad or awful is boring.  The fact that the "TOR" they picked up this offseason took a month and half "off" is boring. The fact that the Orioles still have Jimenez and Rivera on this team is boring.  It's just a boring team.  I'm just not interested in this 2024 squad and have zero faith in them that they can do anything in the playoffs. Even against the Royals (who will run all over the Orioles if they play them) or Twins, I don't give them much of a chance.  I'll never root against an Orioles team, and I hope that some miracle happens and they suddenly become a better team. But I will continue to say that this has been one of the most frustrating Orioles Playoff teams of all time.

      Jayden Daniels 55 air yards pass

      Now that Snyder has gone I can passively hope they do well. They should have kept the old name (Washington Football Team).

      Daniels just completed a pass for 55 yards thru the air.  The guy has a heck of an arm.  Commanders look like a good team again and are dominating an 0-2 Bengals team that is desperate for a win.  21-10 in 2nd quarter.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By survivedc · Posted

      Westburg is the guy I'd want to run a bit more, he seems a bit more like a heady type player so I could see his instincts growing there, and he had decent numbers in the minors. He's had an interesting year in the SB department, stole 4/5 in the month of April, then 1/3 in May and 1/1 in June, but hasn't had a straight steal since June 3rd. Wonder if moving up in the lineup killed his run game?

      Or a guy that can just come up and give innings when the bullpen is shot after a doubleheader or even give a spot start and then be sent back down.  Is Pham a likely future ML starter, no, but he might bail the O's out of a pitching bind multiple times next year.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.
