Roch has a nice breakdown of the local food available at Camden Yards this year.  I was very excited to see Squires Pizza.  I am a big fan but don’t get a chance to get to their place too much anymore.  I highly recommend it.  Any other suggestions on the other local flavors are welcomed.

I have to say, when I go to Nats games, my favorite food by far is the stand from the local pupusaria.  I’m 110% in favor of a similar local business going into OPACY, and they will get my business for sure.  Also like Squires going in.  

Definitely like that they are making some major changes to the food this year after seeing what worked and what didnt work.

Also I want to add for the local places…….I have an intimate knowledge of concessions at a DI college football program in our area.  The amount that they want in return from my company, which is a larger one, basically allows us to break even on what we consider our “inside sale” at the location.  Not what we would deliver the product for.  Please support these local businesses there, both inside and outside OPACY.  They are not making a lot of money from this, and might not be making any money at all selling sodas and bottled water and stuff from the Orioles.

Went to my first game at OPACY since 2010 last Saturday. Man was I impressed with the upgrades and the food selections since my last visit! 

Overpriced or not, I had the Jimmies crab dip pretzel smothered with cheese and it was deeeelicious. 

Also enjoyed a “new” Orioles orange can Natty Boh, got some extra baseball due to extra innings, plus a W…and the rain held off till right after the game ended. All around a great day!

I read that it isn't made to order, which would be enough to turn me away from trying one.

Well, if it comes with ketchup on it, I don't want one. That's just against all things sacred.

Any other recommendations? I'll be there on Sunday in the Bird Bath (row 3, second seat from the right).

I like the Smashburgers from Baseline Burgers, and also the tacos at Vida Taco Bar.

    • A little funny to have provided descriptions of the hits (“weak” single; “500 foot” HR). FIP doesn’t care about any of that either, so it’s kind of an odd thing to add in an effort to make ERA look bad.  Come in, strike out the first hitter, then give up three 108 MPH rocket doubles off the wall. FIP thinks you were absolutely outstanding, and it’s a shame your pathetic defense and/or sheer bad luck let you down. Next time you’ll (probably) get the outcomes you deserve. They’re both flawed. So is xFIP. So is SIERA. So is RA/9. So is WPA. So is xERA. None of them are perfect measures of how a pitcher’s actual performance was, because there’s way too much context and too many variables for any one metric to really encompass.  But when I’m thinking about awards, for me at least, it ends up having to be about the actual outcomes. I don’t really care what a hitter’s xWOBA is when I’m thinking about MVP, and the same is true for pitchers. Did you get the outs? Did the runs score? That’s the “value” that translates to the scoreboard and, ultimately, to the standings. So I think the B-R side of it is more sensible for awards.  I definitely take into account the types of factors that you (and other pitching fWAR advocates) reference as flaws. So if a guy plays in front of a particular bad defense or had a particularly high percentage of inherited runners score, I’d absolutely adjust my take to incorporate that info. And I also 100% go to Fangraphs first when I’m trying to figure out which pitchers we should acquire (i.e., for forward looking purposes).  But I just can’t bring myself say that my Cy Young is just whichever guy had the best ratio of Ks to BBs to HRs over a threshold number of innings. As @Frobby said, it just distills out too much of what actually happened.
    • We were all a lot younger in 2005.  No one wanted to believe Canseco cause he’s a smarmy guy. Like I said, he was the only one telling the truth. It wasn’t a leap of faith to see McGwire up there and Sosa up there and think “yeah, those guys were juicing” but then suddenly look at Raffy and think he was completely innocent.  It’s a sad story. The guy should be in Hall of Fame yet 500 homers and 3,000 hits are gone like a fart in the wind cause his legacy is wagging his finger and thinking he couldn’t get caught.  Don’t fly too close to the sun.  
    • I think if we get the fun sprinkler loving Gunnar that was in the dugout yesterday, I don’t think we have to worry about him pressing. He seemed loose and feeling good with the other guys he was with, like Kremer.
    • I was a lot younger back then, but that betrayal hit really hard because he had been painting himself as literally holier than thou, and shook his finger to a congressional committee and then barely 2 weeks later failed the test.
    • Not bad, but Mullins needs to be at Centerfield for his range, glove, and defensive ability. Top teir premium defense cannot be underestimated. Kjerstad will be on the bench. I think the question is whether Slater or Cowser plays. I would prefer Ramirez over Slater if they need another right handed bat. Sig needs to look at Adleys recent sample sizes vs LHP before making him DH. McCann is catching for Burnes and hitting the left handed pitcher. He's also on a hot streak.
    • I’m slightly (irrationally, I admit, there’s no factual basis for what I’m about to say) worried that Gunnar is going to view this as the “Gunnar vs. Bobby” show and press hard at the plate and in the field leading to bad at bats and unforced errors. 
    • Sounds like getting your heart broken by big league ballplayers is a personal problem. Learn and adjust accordingly. These guys usually aren’t trying to be role models and he played in an era where a lot of players were on the gas. Was I surprised? Yeah, a little bit.  No one likes to admit Jose Canseco was the most honest one up there that day and was telling the truth the entire time.
