2013 Baltimore Orioles

[FerrariFan87]

I know it's only spring training, but our boys in orange and black are looking great so far!

[Moderator 3]

Fast starts scare me. I'm always afraid they'll peak too soon.

[Moderator 3]

New season, new thread.

[Gordo52]

Undefeated!

[Moderator 3]

It's a great day when you go split-squad and beat both the Yankees and the Red Sox.

[FerrariFan87]

I know, right? The Yankees look awful (granted, it's their minor league players out there), but it's always fun when they lose, especially when we beat them.

[Cville-Raven]

Jurgens killed us today. Oh well can't win em all.

I'm still not confident in their pitching. As long as they do better than the Red Sox it'll be good though, too many of my friends are Sox fans.

I'm the opposite. It's the bats I'm worried about over pitching

[ravens__]

It's really weird going into an Orioles season with high expectations...

[Moderator 3]

Over/under 90 wins? I'm going over with 91.

That's tough

If markakis can stay healthy this time, I'd say over..
Our offense was so much better with him there

[H8R]

Jiar has a lot of work to do.

I'll go 90 exact.


I'm more worried about pitching. We may have over performed in that department last year. It would be amazing if Chen Gonzo & Hammel have a repeat year, also our bullpen was lights out...hard to repeat that.

[gabefergy]

Is BRob actually going to stay healthy and play this year? That would be huuuuuge. Getting him and Reimold is essentially like adding 2 pieces. Plus most of our guys are young and getting better. Honestly, my biggest concern is Chris Davis defense at 1B. Still have a great BP and a potential stud pitching prospect too. Im really excited for this season.

[H8R]

Brob has looked great. He's showing that opposite field double power that made him a beast. As for Reimold... I actually have less faith In him. He's already had a shoulder issue this spring.. It's a shame.. This kid has tools and pop!

[cursona pirate]

Orioles looking like they can go deep this year! Underdogs still but we look good!

[cobrajet]

9-2 in preseason has me stoked!

[FerrariFan87]

I wish MASN showed every spring training game. I don't understand why they don't show them all! For example, I would've loved to have seen Bundy and Gausman pitch last night, but they don't air it!! Ugh...

[Ragin'Raven]

I'm excited about my husband and I taking the boys to more Orioles games this year. Camden Yards is one of the prettiest stadiums in baseball.

Do you join the Dugout Club?

[Ragin'Raven]

I don't know. I haven't looked into it. My kids are 5 and 15 months. I will have to look into this program more. Is there a bottom age limit to joining; meaning are the boys too young?

[/quote]I have to sit through Marlins games if I want to see a game... It's turable. I would prefer any team in baseball (except the Astros) to the Marlins. Camden Yards is beautiful, as is PNC in Pittsburgh... Only downside is its in Pittsburgh.

That's how it was when we lived in Gainesville. We always got Rays games. I am not that big of a baseball fan, but my husband is a huge one! He grew up a Braves fan, so we used to go up to Atlanta for a couple games every summer. Now with the boys, he just wants them to be able to enjoy the game like he does, so although he's not that big of an Orioles fan, it's the hometown team now, so we'll probably take them to more games this summer.

[/quote]I'm a huge Braves fan and have been to Turner Field a few times but it's just such a long drive from South Florida. Going to Marlins games though is like going to a double-A game where the team was spoiled with an enormous, expensive, and incredibly nice stadium. It's just very very odd.

Here's the information. It says kids 14 and under, so I'd say your boys qualify!
