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.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By LGOrioles · Posted

      Cano has been great since June 1st even if the last week has been rough. 11.27 K/9, 3.41 ERA, 2.56 FIP, 2.64 xFIP, 2.73 SIERA. Perez’s ERA is worse than last year but his K-BB rate, FIP, and xERA are all better than last year, while his xFIP is slightly worse. I don’t feel notably different about those two this year than heading into the playoffs last year. If anything, having Cano as a 7th/8th inning option instead of the closer like last year is probably better.  The pen isn’t great but I don’t think it’s that bad. Cano, Perez, Soto, Dominguez, Coulombe, Webb, and Akin have combined for a 3.37 ERA and 9.81 K/9 this year with the O’s. They’re missing a go to back end guy (which is evident when pitching to guys like Judge and Soto) but they have a number of solid options that can strike guys out. Guys like Kimbrel, Irvin, Baker, Smith, Tate, Ramirez, and Heasley really hurt the overall bullpen ERA and they won’t be pitching in the playoffs. I’m definitely taking them over KC’s pen and I’m not sure it’s that much worse than any other AL playoff team’s besides Cleveland.

      Will the Orioles get home field advantage during the Wild Card?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Your conclusions are 100% correct, but it has nothing to do with division records in that 3 way tie It is head to head results among the tied teams: 1) Det 10-9 (4-2 vs Balt, 6-7 vs KC) 2) Balt 3-3 (4-2 vs KC, 2-4 vs Det) 3) KC 9-10 (2-4 vs Balt, 7-6 vs Det)

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By glenn__davis · Posted

      I assumed the OP meant next year.  I don't think there's anyone on the international side who has a chance at this point to blow up that quickly.  I agree that if we're looking beyond just next year then yes, that's more likely.

      You are wrong. If Detroit wins out and the Orioles are swept (and KC doesn't sweep), we fall to the #2 wild card due to our tiebreak loss to Detroit head to head.  Detroit is the #1 wild card in that case.  We are the #2 wild card.   If KC wins 1 or 2, they are the #3 wild card, otherwise Minnesota is the #3 wild card. If Detroit wins out AND KC wins out and we are swept, it is a 3 way tie for the 3 wild card spots.   Based on head to head among tied teams, we are 3-3 (4-2 vs KC, 2-4 vs Det), KC is 9-10 (2-4 vs us, 7-6 vs Det), and Det is 10-9 (4-2 vs us, 6-7 vs KC).   So Det is the #1, we are the #2, and KC is the #3. So to be the #1 wild card and get home field Tuesday, we need either one win or one Detroit loss.   KC's results are irrelevant to whether we get the #1 spot or not, although they could jump us and Detroit by winning out if we lose out and Det wins out.

      LOL, I was worried last year about getting swept in four games by the Red Sox when the magic number for the division was 1. Part of being a fan is imagining the worst case scenario. I would agree it's not likely, though.

      O's just need to win 1. O's lose home field if they go 0-3 and Tigers go 3-0. I actually have no idea what happens if the O's go 0-3, Tigers go 3-0, and Royals go 3-0. They'd all be 88-74. O's have tiebreaker over the Royals, but not over the Tigers. Royals have the tiebreaker over the Tigers, but not the Orioles. lol Does anybody know what happens in that situation? Does it go to intradivision?  If so, here are their records intradivision: Orioles: 32-20 (.615)  in AL East Royals: 33-19 (.634) in AL Central Tigers: 27-22 in AL Central Interestingly enough, that loss against the Yankees now means the Royals have the intradivision tie breaker. So it does look like there are 2 scenarios where the O's don't get home field: O's go 0-3, Tigers go 3-0 OR O's go 0-3 and Tigers go 3-0/Royals go 3-0. If the Tigers lose, doesn't matter what the Royals or O's do.  I think?

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      Skubal holds Slater to a .000 average/.000 OPS. SSS with only 5 AB's, but he's 0-5 with 0 walks and 2k's. DH vs Skubal = Rivera
