David Rubenstein in the Booth, Opening Day

[justD]

The new owner appeared in three different segments of today's MASN broadcast - top of the 2nd, bottom of the 2nd prior to the pitching change, and the remainder of the 2nd. 

This is the second segment, which I found the most entertaining of the three.  It's 16 minutes, and also contains a bit of the offensive barrage that knocked Sandoval out of the game. 

Edit: The first and third segments are now included. 

PART1 (includes some of Burnes mastery "in the background"):

 

PART2 (this is the long one that was posted originally):

 

PART3:

He was awesome.  It’s nice to have an owner who really knows his team’s history and really cares.   And he’s quite modest for a guy who’s accomplished so much.  He’s such a breath of fresh air.  

[OnlyOneOriole]

I was very impressed.  It sounded like he was a fan first.  Owner second.

 

Which means he wants to win and will do what it takes to win.

One thing I learned about DR last day or so is that he really loves 'Baldimore' and wants to give back, unite the community, etc.  I'm hoping he sees a WS as the ultimate way to do that, and is ready to spend some more of his money to do so!

He seems really, really great.  Almost too good to be true honestly.

This is so great, thanks for posting, can you post the other segments?  I could only get The Angels broadcast.

Almost too good to be true, I agree, this is one of the greatest most unimaginable turnarounds I've ever witnessed.  

[Moose Milligan]

So far, he hasn’t given me a reason not to like him. 

[waroriole]

He seemed really great. Knew a lot about the Orioles, many references to Jim and Cal. He’s a very interesting and intelligent man. Nice to see someone you can respect own your favorite team.

I liked the trivia question he put to Palmer about pitchers with the most 20-win seasons.

Palmer stunned Koufax while Rubenstein was in high school across the street.   It was Koufax's last career game at 30.

As we were watching, I told my wife, “If I’m dreaming, don’t wake me “.  

[Sports Guy]

His twitter account is great tonight.

I love  how he is respecting the “low man on the totem pole” as if they are Elias. That’s a good businessman.

 

[Billy F-Face3]

I loved his interactions with Jim Palmer and I loved his answer to Ben about the Magna Carta.

[ThisIsBirdland]

Mensch.

[InsideCoroner]

The thing that struck me the most is that he readily admits he’s not the most knowledgeable baseball guy — unlike a lot of owners, and that even in finance he “got lucky”. 

I know it’s the honeymoon phase and all, but he left a very good impression, and doesn’t seem the type to meddle too much in what Elias and the team do. 

Hallelujah.

[One eyed Bird]

Amazing JOB Mr Rubeinstein, what a class act, never thought I would live to see this day, now I can go to the games again, last game was 97. can’t wait

[Hank Scorpio]

What a great day it must have been for David Rubenstein. 

It was pretty easy to tell. 

I think we’re pretty lucky. It’s a great time to be an O’s fan!!!
