Based on the amount of tickets on stub hub, I would suspect tomorrow’s game to be pretty empty as well. I don’t blame people for not going, this team is an embarrassment. 

I wish the GD ignore button worked so I didn’t have to read your DA posts.

Sometimes, you gotta work in the middle of the day on a Tuesday.

Can you blame anyone based off the last 3 months and the predictable offensive performance today? This team has given fans zero reason to show up the last 3 months. They’ve been sleepwalking through g

41.5k. For a last minute day/time before the end of a work day with crappy weather. Pretty damn solid for a WC game.

You certainly don’t have to read them, definitely don’t need to respond to them either.

I wish I hadn't gone, or at least that I'd spent less on the tickets in favor of cheaper seats. We got there super early to beat the crowds, ate lunch, bought a beer at our seats, watched the offense go flat, and waited for an hour and 20 minutes to get out of the GD parking garage. What a waste of a vacation day from work.

Ultimately, the purpose of playing a competitive game is to win, not just to compete. Winners matter and losers are nothing. The Orioles are losers, and have always been losers for the entirety of my life. I don't know why I bother.

I went to one of the games in 2014 when the Royals schooled us.  No interest in doing that again.

If we were in the World Series, I might feel differently.  I remember going to the playoff series against the Indians in the late 90s, that was pretty cool.  I was also in high school and hadn't been beaten down by life yet.  

Honestly, if someone were to have given me a free ticket yesterday, I wouldn't have gone.

My wife came home Tuesday night and apparently had an offer for some really cheap tickets, I just had no interest in going.  Just feel like I've seen the movie before.  I'm pretty beaten down by this team's playoff failures at this point.  Maybe that makes me a bad fan, I don't know.

If I could get off work last minute I’d go to todays game, or tomorrows potential game. I know we are playing like shit but I love postseason baseball atmospheres, and honestly, if we win today I’m sure the vibe will be a lot different for a winner take all game 3. I went to the 2012 postseason against the Yankees, the game we won. And I went to the game 2 against the rangers last season 🤢. I’m hoping we make the DS and I can make it out again this postseason.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      Adley is having a down year. I believe he will bounce back.

      Can the O's hit Lugo and Wacha?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I admire those of you who have such confidence in this offense. It’s been absolutely terrible for months, other than the last week of the season. It was beyond terrible yesterday- yes Ragans was good but the approach was awful by every hitter. I’ll be thrilled for them to prove me overly pessimistic, but I have zero faith in these bats.  This is at least partially a defense mechanism. I am not ready for the baseball season to be over, and another terribly quick exit from the postseason would just be so dreadful. I don’t need them to win the WS. But winning one GD game would be nice. Not looking forward to six months without baseball.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By waroriole · Posted

      You don’t have to twist yourself into a pretzel to defend Hyde. If Santander’s defense costs us, it means we got to extra innings and pinch running for OHearn was the right call. Also, are you really trying to say that OHearn is so valuable a defender at 1B that we couldn’t stand to lose that glove in extras? I doubt he’s even better than Santander.

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      Wieters' bWAR was 13.3 through his first 4 seasons (2009 - 2012).  It ended at 18.3 after his last season in 2020, so he was basically ineffective for the last 8 years of his career. Adley's bWAR is 13.1 through his first 3 seasons. So it isn't like Wieters didn't have a strong start to his career just like Adley did.  I think the concern that folks have is that the rest of Adley's career will play out like the rest of Wieters' career.  It seemed very unlikely halfway through this year, but this has been one hell of a drop-off.   And after Wieters never lived up to expectations, it is definitely a fear that we may be reliving this again.  Let's hope this second half was just an aberration.

      Adley has been in a horrible almost 4 month slump. Before that, he was the WAY BETTER offensive player. But I pose this question: What does it matter if Rutschman turns out to be worse than Wieters? Matt Wieters was drafted almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. No one in this org had anything to do with him being on our roster. HEck none of our current front office was even here for his entire Orioles' career.

      I do feel like Adley is out of shape or at least has gotten more out of shape than usual. That’s part of the reason I think he’s hurt…not working out as much. If he is healthy and the slump is this bad, I’m ok questioning whether or not the new GF(ie the distraction) is part of it. Is he putting everything into the game that he should?
