That's what makes them not a rookie. Are they worried they are going to end up over 130 ab's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams may prefer more consistent playing time for the best ones? Just speculating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they worried they are going to end up over 130 ab's? Beavers isn’t even a top 100 prospect right now. So this roster manipulation bullshit is all for the vanishingly small chance that he gets added to those lists at the end of the season and then wins RotY in 2026. The big deal is that management is prioritizing this microscopic chance of an extra 2027 draft pick over the CURRENT FAN EXPERIENCE. They’re raising ticket prices and forcing fans to watch an outfield of Greg Allen (who??), Dylan Carlson, and Ryan Noda. If you had a healthy high-performing outfield this conversation would be moot. But it’s not. Your outfield is decimated and you have someone who’s knocking the cover off the ball at AAA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe the downfall and change in outlook on this franchise over the past 12 months Who cares about a "look"? Winning is gonna ultimately be what puts people back in the seats. This is a temporary decision that won't even matter in a year when Basallo and Beavers are hopefully tearing it up up here. Sure it would be entertaining, but as far as the long term? Now or two weeks from now makes no difference whatsoever other than the game being a little less entertaining. If that's the case...why not just don't go to/watch the game and do something else?

Ticket prices aren't raised until next year...and by that time Beavers and Basallo will be up so you can pay to see them then Current fam experience? I don't think the product being slightly less entertaining (I mean it's already a lost season) for a couple weeks is gonna make much of a difference in the long run--this is just a now, now, now thing. Once they're up I don't think anybody next year is still gonna be scowling about them waiting two weeks. We'll just be enjoying them being up here. And maybe I'm just wired differently, but...in a lost season, why not just turn it off and go do something else if you're not entertained? That's what I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Basallo is fine to stay in Norfolk. He still hasn’t caught that much. But 2 weeks could make a big difference for Beavers if it included regular playing time. Every single O’s prospect has required 100+ ABs at the MLB level to start getting into any sort of rhythm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol The "look" matters. This has been a floundering franchise for almost my entire life. What a difference a year makes. Raising ticket prices and basically making you buy more games for their partial plans. That's not a good "look". Makes you almost think Angelos is back lol. I think the look does matter. Look at there attendance the last few years when they were winning. It wasn't that good considering how many games they won in 23 and 24. Compare their attendance to other teams that were winning during that time frame. It ain't great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris78 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago @Maestrobjwa 2023 - 21st in MLB for attendance 2024 - 19th Divisional winners, 101 wins and bottom 10 in attendance. The new ownership has some issues to contend with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I do Not bad points you make, but given the disappointment in this unexpected disastrous season, why not give the fans something NOW, instead of a few weeks from now(not sure I completely believe they will bring em up then either). What's the risk? Virtually nonexistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Kind of kidding, but I think @Maestrobjwa might be an Orioles bot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted 4 minutes ago Share Posted 4 minutes ago Fans are already disillusioned, and NFL football is less than a month away now. Most Orioles fans are Ravens fans. Interest in an underachieving baseball team going nowhere at that point will be next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
