I don’t disagree with anything you stated and appreciate how you articulated your position regarding the creation of a winning culture in a similar manner to the other pro org in town.

I would argue that in order to maintain a “winning” culture and the fanbase/market place’s confidence in that partly includes retaining and/or acquiring elite talent. Doing things constantly on the cheap AND not winning the ultimate prize (i.e. the Rays) will lead to some apathy eventually as fans/people in the community start to develop the notion that doing what it takes to obtain the ultimate prize (championship) is not as important to the owner as it is to them. There is a hopelessness that can set in with such a scenario. And if there is one thing that sports needs to sell it is hope.

Just win.   They won’t be that cheap.  The team’s best players are cheap for now.  That doesn’t last long.

I’ve been to all 9 home games and I’ll be there Monday and Tuesday. Barring something unforeseen (like another rain delay that extends the start time into non working hours), Wednesday will likel

Arizona had about 22,000. Oalkand had a little over 4,000 but getting Nevin  should boost attendance significantly

Weekday day games draw surprisingly well.  Just shy of 82 k for the Atlanta series, and possibly 120 k for the Phillies.   That would be quite a week.  

Minor correct, but it looks like 130k for the weekend, what a show by the Philly fans last night

I was being conservative, but it looks like you may be right.  44,555 yesterday afternoon.  88,542 for the first two games.  

Attendance passed the 1 mm mark yesterday, on the 38th home date.

Could also be North of yesterday(not by much) Love that Philly fans are involved, Dont like the commentary from their Fans or announcers that the only reason its sold out is because of their fans. They are here because not only do they travel< but get a chance to see how they match against a really good team in a great StaDium. Like there really would be same crowd as Tampa last home stand( Low to mid 30,s)

People can be upset but Philly fans show up. They show up at home and did here on the road. Orioles fans have been better, but the team should be drawing better than Milwaukee 

Rome wasn’t built in a day.  Milwaukee has been a playoff team for 5 of the past 6 years before this one.  Our attendance is still building up.

Frobby, good analysis right there . Additionally, the Angelos years have created apathy from community to the Orioles .  Let’s hope this is a beginning

It’s building. A few observations:

1. I had lots of people tell me they couldn’t get tickets this weekend.  Orioles fans are used to being able to grab tickets a few days before and make last minute plans. They’ll have to adjust behaviors 

2. Philly fans gobbled up a lot of the seats weeks/months ago.  This series was circled. 

3. Demand leads to scarcity which leads to more demand.

A 35.2% increase in attendance over a playoff team that won 101 games last year is pretty impressive. With upgrades to the stadium that should come this offseason now that the lease has been signed should also help as well as having two playoff teams in a row.

It’s because of season ticket sales…it’s always because of season ticket sales.

I expect another big jump next year too.

      Soto and Judge are both first ballot Hall of Famers when they retire.  Soto is younger than Adley, has a career bWAR over 36, and dominated the 2019 postseason as a 21 year old. Folks probably weren't paying much attention to him or the Nats back then, but he has been a force ever since being called up in 2018. And Judge...not sure why nobody else saw value in a six and a half foot man with a ton of raw power, but good for them for nailing that 32nd pick in the draft. Having these guys 2 and 3 in the lineup is such a game changer, because there is so much pressure on the opposing pitchers to not screw up with any of their other 7 hitters.  One guy you may be able to get around.  But 2.....much harder.   That being said, I do think it is more about us losing the division than anything else.  Tampa showed us last year how to keep fighting in spite of injuries. Those guys were decimated and were like a relentless swarm of bees hanging around us all the way until the last weekend.  They won 99 games with an extremely depleted pitching staff and a slew of no-name hitters who kept coming up with big hits.  We lost this division by playing uninspired, unclutch, and lame baseball for three full months.  And amazingly, we will have gone all of July, all of August, and all of September without so much as a 4 game winning streak.   Winning the season series against every division opponent for the second year in a row is something I am very happy about after years of being a doormat. I am sorry we couldn't win the division, but I am also glad to be playing next week and not sitting at home waiting to play a team on a high after winning a playoff series.

      It's game 160 tonight and we just discovered our bull pen has warts? Elias's fault, Hyde's fault - we've had ample threads of he sucks, they suck, fire him, demote him, etc.  Well we are off to the playoffs and the pen may be the reason we don't go far. And if so I doubt few on here will be surprised. It is what it is going forward with some but not necessarily significant adjustments. We play this year out with the hand we can put together - next Monday. Till then, just win one in Minnasota for the bottom line. Last night is over and IMO really didn't teach us anything we didn't already know.

      I didn't spell it out well enough.    I was meaning season long results of Orioles teams with full Rutschman seasons 2023-2027 against the Yankees.    They are now 1-1.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.
