Drafting our favorite Baltimore Orioles things of 2024

[@wallberlin]

I was in the crowd for the Tony slam, the McCann face plunk, the Holliday slam, the July 14th comeback walkoff win over the Yankees, and the Burnes WC start. No matter what, it was a magical year. So many incredible moments. As I put in yesterday's comments, the Tony slam was my favorite, in no small part because it was the first of three games I went to in a row with my best friend. But my favorite moment not mentioned was the early April rain game against the Royals. I was there from gates open to close, and it was the weirdest baseball day I've ever had, in the best way possible.

Not sure if it gets mentioned, but KB getting extended as play-by-play announcer was up there for me.

[@chrishayes4885]

Paul brought it up as his next 5. Huge. Love McDonald as well

[@chrishayes4885]

Perez HR hat catches are pretty exciting fellas.

[@paulmancano3245]

That was a regrettable miss I’ll be honest

[@kensilverstone1656]

Nice show. Pleasant to listen to. Feinstein and Burnes, one and two. The other three are lowlights: Starting pitchers being hurt. Four infielders being hurt, along with Kjerstadt.

One of my favorite moments not mentioned was Colton Cowser beating out the ground ball to first allowing Jackson Holiday's pinch hit double.

[@matthewgroh8797]

McCann getting hit in the face and then catching the whole game. Epic

[@Vance-ip9ko]

I got to witness some cool moments this year, Jackson Hollidays first Oriole Park AB, First ever live hot dog race, The Downfall of Thyago Viera, the crazy James McCann doubleheader and even the domination over the New York Mets at Citi Field, so many fun moments and hopefully more to come in the future!

Best moment, New ownership. I'm a 2XL. Shirt probably won't fit me, so please give it to a lesser man.

This is random but I went to a Nashville Sounds Oklahoma City Dodgers game in 2018. And I just looked back at the scorecard in the game. There were some notable players on both teams and some orioles players on the sounds starting and on the team. This was in 2018 and the nashvilel sounds had Jorge mateo starting and Coulumbe on the team too. Also on the As affiliate, was chriss Bassit, Liam Hendricks, Frankie Montas, Steve Lombardozzi. And on the dodgers affiliate there was Kyle Farmer and Connor Joe starting and alex verdugo and Walker Beuhler on the team. I wasnt following baseball as much then but it is weird that mateo and Coulumbe came to the orioles in different circumstances were on the smae munor league team at the smae time when I saw them and didnt know them

Perez catching bullpen home runs with his hat😆

[@calripkenisthebest266]

I was at the Tony grand slam game, the Yard erupted!

[@chrishayes4885]

I liked both. Great job guys.

[@drewc771]

Easy answer for me. Holliday's grand slam.

[@KatyVanderau]

Favorite moment from 2024 has gotta be the Westy walk-off in April. I can still picture his face as he was rounding the bases. It was such an awesome moment.

[@roryjohnson8089]

My favorite was Palmer joking Kevin Brown on air about his Angelos suspension.

[@BringsTheSnow]

One of my favorites was Colton Cowser doing a head-first dive into first against Houston. Also, Cionel Pérez catching home runs in his hat in the bullpen.

[@petenice36]

Favorite moment from this year was the Holiday slam, followed closely by the back to back bombs from Cowser and Westy in KC.

Locked on Orioles x Ryan Ripken Show would be great

[@chrishayes4885]

Connor - New ownership handing out free beer

[@paschal111]

Thank you for this show!! Mailbag Question - What do you think the Orioles Roster would look like next season if they had not made some of the trades that they made last season and what additional players would we have potentially lost in the Rule 5 Draft? More specifically... If Joey Ortiz is still on the roster, would he play and where? Would Connor Norby, Hall and Stowers bring this current roster value?

[@chrishayes4885]

@@paschal111 none of them would except maybe Ortiz over Mateo but then you have a young guy still not playing.

[@chrishayes4885]

Dude the Hawaiian shirt. They rock.

[@chrishayes4885]

Mullins “catch”. There were several to choose from

[@chrishayes4885]

Mr splash special guests.

[@Vance-ip9ko]

Connor won

[@chrishayes4885]

The Rogers trade didn’t turn out yet but Stowers was 26 and Norby , who I loved didn’t have a clear path to majors with all the depth. Now imagine if we didn’t make that trade then I think Crochet is an Oriole as we would have had those guys to trade as well
