DCarp1231 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 So, is Frederick a totally separate entity and not moving to Hagerstown? Or are these the names for the eventual move to Hagerstown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Hagerstown is joining next year. The Atlantic League needed a filler team to even out the schedule. Both teams are different ownership. Frederick is owned by the same ownership of the Frederick Keys in the MLB Draft League. They are just a filler team for the Atlantic League and give more dates to Frederick, who still wants to come back up to the MILB level.

Hagerstown revealed its name finalists (my last post, last page). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would’ve loved if Pittsburgh picked up Frederick in the whole MiLB shuffle. Could’ve reworked the identity to be treasure keys to be in-line with the parent club. I believe some reasoning behind Baltimore not keep Frederick was due to “ease of travel” which is completely bogus when you realize Frederick is 40-45 minutes away from Baltimore compared to retained Delmarva which is roughly 2.5 hours away.

Think holding on to Delmarva is more important when they have Philly and Washington to contend with nearby. Meanwhile, western Maryland is either already lost to Pittsburgh or ardently 'anti DC' and sticking with Orioles anyways through state allegiance.

Dilbert Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 The Orioles dumped Frederick because Harry Grove Stadium was actually the oldest of their minor league stadium. When MLB took over MILB with the new minor league stadium standards, Frederick would've needed the most work done than the other ballparks to bring it up to the new standards. Frederick wants to return to MILB but they gotta bring the stadium up to the new standards 1 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spoke with some stadium/team personnel (not food vendors) who said there were rumblings of renovations, but it was unclear what those were intended to be and when they were to take place. Just word-of-mouth stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Tonight’s reveal for Frederick has been postponed until tomorrow evening due to rain causing unplayable conditions. Instead of both games in the new identity, they’ll play one in the ? identity and the second in the new identity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Everything leading up to this unveiling has had an aura of "Good God, do less" about it. They did not heed that call.

DCarp1231 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Spire City (gonna take time to get used to that) has a Sunday Teal Alt. The color scheme and specifically this jersey gives major Coastal Carolina vibes. This graphic is from the official team account and they still used “FRE” instead of “SC” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Is Spire City really that prominently used within the Frederick area or is Brandoise just reaching for creativity again? I'm asking because I currently live about an hour away from there and have even visited the area on several occasions. Of all of these times, I have never seen a reference to the name.

Not really sure, but I'm not a fan of city nicknames being used in place of more common locations. City, State, Valley, Bay, Lake, Region, etc. So many names are reused (I'll admit Spire City seems unique) that something like "Queen City Monarchs" would have you questioning where they're from. Trash City Rocket Pandas has about as much meaning as their correct name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
