Pitcher Steve Johnson sent this tweet following the Ravens' victory over the Patriots in the AFC championship game:
"4 touchdowns tonight for our only scores and the win… Coincidence? I think not. #Earl"

Opening Day tickets secured. Ravens are in the Super Bowl. Life is good.

I don't usually go to opening day. I like taking off early and watching it at home and then going to the second game. Weird, I know.

is there any way to get opening day tickets other than buying a season pass plan?

I think they used to offer a package that included OD. Doubt they'll need to do that this year.

They did offer the holiday 6 pack this year again which was opening day and 5 additional games in april/may. We did that a few years back and it was fun.

Keith Law ranked their farm system 13:
"Dylan Bundy emerged as the minors' best pitching prospect in 2012, while their first pick from last year's draft, Kevin Gausman, was one of the hottest names in Florida instructional league in September. They'd rank higher had Manny Machado not lost his rookie eligibility in September."

So it is official the Orioles do absolutely nothing this offseason. Saunders signs a one year deal with Mariners.

Last time I checked the offseason was still going on.

He chose the better beer city. No surprise.

He's also never lost a game at SafeCO, so if I had to take a chance with a one year deal to springboard to a multiyear deal I'd go there too.
Though he is a VA Tech grad, so I thought the O's had a good chance.

FWIW, He's also a grad of the same high school my daughter is destined for, unless we move.

Will miss Saunders, but I understand why the Orioles didn't want to pay him the money.
Am I the only Orioles fan not pissed off about this offseason?

After the year they had and the euphoria of the football season it's hard to be pissed at anything. Plus DD seems to be able to find value in no-named players. Maybe the trend will continue this year.

There's still some time for DD to make some deals. 2B remains the biggest issue, I think.

I think you should be upset, but it's hard to act surprised. You can simply search this board for "angelos" and see why. Duquette can find gems and Showalter was great at managing his young staff last year, but they spent $20 million this offseason and it's hard to argue that they're $20m better.
The good news for O's fans is that the Yankees are likely to be substantially worse, the Sox are still rebuilding and Toronto has gone for a one and done season. This bode's well for the O's young team going forward. Will be very fun to watch mid-Atlantic and CA baseball for the next 3-4 years.

I think the Reimold/McLouth platoon in LF will work out just fine. And I think Brian Roberts makes a healthy return to 2B. Chris Davis was considered a good defensive 1B at Texas - no reason to think he can't get it done. The bullpen seems solid. Starting pitching - lots of options there - something has to work out, right? If not there's always Bundy and Gausman waiting in the wings….
Ah, nothing like the optimism of spring!
