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.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      By interloper · Posted

      Yeah both Burnes and Hyde said after the game it's because Burnes is going on regular rest to start the first WC game and so he was shortened up a bit.

      You seem to pine for guys in AAA and then (with one notable exception) judge them very harshly if they don’t perform well instantly in the majors.  This is not the time to start experimenting with Young, and that’s no reflection on him at all IMO.

      I agree with the part about Elias. He needs to operate with a little more humility (regarding his bullpen approach) and pivot in the offense regarding how he puts a pen together. He needs to get away from the arrogant thinking in believing that we are always "the smartest guys in the room" and can fix other teams junk/unwanted parts. That is fine to do some time (regardless of how much you spend). But you can't construct an entire pen made of castoffs and almost no guys with elite/power/strikeout stuff. Yes it worked great with Felix, Perez/Lopez in 22', Cano in 23'. But the problem is that we are in '24. And some of those lightening in the bottle guys have reverted back to what their talent says that they are - mediocre. We have a pen full of decent/league average/mediocre arms. That's not what you really want heading into October.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      Also, since there’s another interesting discussion going on here, I think it’s time for Hyde to have an uncomfortable conversation with Adley. I hate everything I’m about to say, because Adley is my favorite Oriole. But we have to acknowledge where we are.  Over the last few months, the only sensible approach with Adley — other than the IL, which apparently he hasn’t been eligible for — has been to keep penciling him into the lineup almost everyday and hoping he figures it out. He has a track record of consistent lifelong excellence, so it’s felt like just a matter of time before he busts the slump and rights the ship.  But he hasn’t. Adley’s line over the last 3 months, almost half a season now, is so bad that it requires a double check to be sure it’s right: .186 / .274 / .278 / .552. A 61 wRC+. And -0.2 fWAR. He has been a below replacement player for 3 months now. He has been the 3rd-worst qualified hitter in baseball over that span, and the 7th-worst overall qualified player. The “qualified” part does make it a little misleading — most of the guys who’ve been this bad have long since been benched. I think you have to consider McCann, at least in Burnes’s starts. He’s been hitting a bit (114 wRC+ since the ASB), and even if he wasn’t on a bit of a heater, his normal baseline is still better than a .552 OPS. If you do continue to play him full-time, you just can’t treat him like he’s *Adley* anymore. You have to treat him like the bad backup catcher he’s been. He has to hit at the bottom of the order. The very bottom. There’s really no reasoned basis upon which you could want to have him get more ABs than guys like Mullins or Urias right now. And you have to PH for him liberally — whichever of Kjerstad/O’Hearn doesn’t start should be looking at Adley’s slot as their most likely opportunity.  As I said, I love Adley. It’s been brutal watching him. But there are 25 other guys on the team who deserve the best shot to win a ring. And that means you can’t just keep stubbornly handing all the ABs to a guy who is desperately lost, on the blind hope that he’ll suddenly find it.

      I didn’t post it in the game thread no, but I’m also not looking for credit. I thought it was a bad move at the time to remove Burnes in the first place, and choosing Cano at that point after he’d been bombed by those exact hitters, felt odd and off to me. The only real defense I could come up with was who if not Cano?  But taking Burnes out is essentially admitting that winning that night wasnt your top priority anyway, so why not also rest Cano, who you absolutely need in the playoffs and has pitched a lot?  I just didn’t get it in real time, and I still don’t.

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?
