The Orioles are desperate to get people into the stands as they keep adding more and more special ticket giveaways (pickleball anyone?). Some of them fall on days in which I already have tickets via my 20 game plan but if I want the giveaway, I’d have to buy another special ticket. I’m not really that interested, but it kind of penalizes the birdland members who bought a plan.

I roughly count 36 upcoming giveaways of some sort for the rest of the season. With the team’s poor performance, I guess giveaways are the only thing getting people to the yard. Sad.

Seems like Catie Griggs is a one trick pony with her ideas to fill the stands. Honestly, I’m getting giveaway fatigue…my closet is full of the cheapest sweatshop garments and bobbleheads. I’d rather they bring back the booze discount and forgo most of the giveaways.

The A’s never won a World Series during the Moneyball era. From 2000–2006 they went 11–18 in the postseason and won one playoff series. That’s why I don’t buy the idea that analytics alone are some magic formula for winning championships.

Analytics aren’t ruining baseball. Putting analytics above the human element of the game is.

What’s happening with the Orioles feels like an organization so committed to “process” and matchup data that they’ve completely lost feel for the game itself. We play a utility infielder in center field while actual center fielders sit on the bench. We say we want Holliday developing at third base, then move him back to second after one inning. We constantly platoon hitters based on lefty/righty matchups even when the hitters involved aren’t batting above .200.

Even worse, we’ll finally have a player get hot at the plate, start building confidence and rhythm, and then immediately bench him because the matchup model says someone else should play — even when the replacement can’t hit or field.

And the most frustrating part is that we’ve been doing the same things over and over for three years expecting different results.

At some point you have to stop hiding behind spreadsheets and trust baseball instincts, player confidence, rhythm, consistency, and letting guys settle into roles. Right now the Orioles feel less like a team being managed and more like an experiment that’s lost all self-awareness.

That’s the definition of organizational insanity.

The Detroit Tigers.

The roster originally included the entire NHL,NBA, NFL, and MLB franchise lineup and one by one all the rest got swept away by popular vote.

Strangely, because these two remaining teams happen to be in the same sport and happen to be playing each other this weekend, it has now been determined that this series will be the winner-take-all decider of which is North America’s least offensive sports franchise.

Since we can’t seem to win, might as well learn something! I’ve actually never seen an Oriole in real life living here in the Baltimore area. I’ve seen plenty of Towhees though.

Discussion about the Os starts around 15:00, good discussion between the numbers centric hosts and a guest that argues from the clubhouse/art of building/coaching team side.
