They're going to have even fewer.
JeffHOST
The Orioles have released the mascot Oriole Bird as well as Mr. Splash.
JeffHOST
the team photographer, and more than two dozen people that work in ticket sales and graphic design.
JeffHOST
Right now, the Orioles do not have a mascot, nor do they have anybody to spray down with a hose in the outfield.
MelissaHOST
Oh my God.
MelissaHOST
In you too, Oriole Bird.
MelissaHOST
[laughs]
CourtneyHOST
Listen, I'm convinced that the Oriole Bird fucks.
MelissaHOST
I know you are, Courtney, and I simply don't see it.
CourtneyHOST
He's too much like a creature and not enough like a man.
MelissaHOST
Holy shit.
CourtneyHOST
I disagree.
Tony KubekSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So now David Neal, our producer, and Harry Carter, director, are doing X-rated stuff.
Bob CostasSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know, speaking of mascots, the guy inside the Oriole Bird costume in Baltimore a year ago, a man named Gary Cohen, is no longer the Oriole Bird.
Bob CostasSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know what he's doing now? This is truly food for thought.
Tony KubekSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I can't wait.

DKHOST
Uh, we've seen this go down year after year, but there's a little bit of drama here.

The Orioles let two of their primary mascots go, the Oriole Bird and Mr. Splash.

John OurandHOST
He's been at ESPN for about the last nine years, and he's a great guest.
John OurandHOST
But before I get to Greg, I want to spend one minute talking about the Oriole Bird.
John OurandHOST
Yes, the mascot.
John OurandHOST
He was laid off by the Baltimore Orioles last week, along with Mr. Splash and a dozen or so back office folks.
John OurandHOST
The Oriole birds firing got all the headlines, but from my perspective, this is a sure sign yet that the baseball lockout is going to be long and bloody.
John OurandHOST
Expect other teams to make similar moves as the owners prepare for a work stoppage.
John OurandHOST
As for now, let's get right to Greg Wyshynski.

In Baseball, Oriole Bird Mascot Mr. Splash Employees Among Layoffs in Baltimore.
BrianHOST
By Brittany Giroli.
BrianHOST
Not even the Baltimore Orioles mascots, Oriole Bird and Mr. Splash, have been spared from the team's downsizing.
BrianHOST
The people who played those roles, along with the Orioles team photographer, were among employees let go by the club as part of layoffs that included a total of 16 people in roles ranging from ticket sales to graphic design, team sources who were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly to the Athletic.
BrianHOST
The firings are also believed to have reached areas such as food and beverage, according to some sources.
BrianHOST
Yahoo Sports first reported the firing of the Oriole Bird mascot.
BrianHOST
A team spokesperson confirmed to The Athletic that cuts impacted the team's business department but said that the team otherwise does not comment on employee matters.
Ken RosenthalHOST
...
Ken RosenthalHOST
the people who played the roles of the Oriole Bird and Mr. Splash.
Ken RosenthalHOST
Mr. Splash is the person who sprays people with water out in the bleachers.
Ken RosenthalHOST
Now, I would suggest that the Orioles have bigger problems than the person playing the Oriole Bird and Mr. Splash.
Alanna RizzoHOST
Hmm.
Ken RosenthalHOST
And their fans might suggest that the big problem is the way the team is run, that Mike Elias has not produced a team that has won a playoff game yet.
Ken RosenthalHOST
So when you are letting people like this go as a downsizing that included 16 people in all, and you're not doing anything when baseball operations other than, although letting people go there too, it's not a great look Orioles, dorks of the week
Alanna RizzoHOST
Yeah, it brings me back to the comment that we had in the chat a couple of weeks ago.
Ken RosenthalHOST
Baltimore Orioles.
Ken RosenthalHOST
Not only are we not seeing them in the playoffs, we got the news this week that they laid off 16 people, including the people who played the roles of the Oriole Bird and Mr. Splash.
Ken RosenthalHOST
Mr. Splash is the person who sprays people with water out in the bleachers.

So when you are letting people like this go as a downsizing that included 16 people in all – and you're not doing anything when baseball operations, other than letting people go there too, it's not a great look.

Orioles, dorks of the week.

Ryan ManoHOST
What'd they have to do with this?
Ellen KHOST
The Oriole Bird and Mr. Splash were laid off, and so was the Orioles team photographer.
Ryan ManoHOST
Okay.
Ellen KHOST
Yeah.
Rocco DiSangroHOST
It does suck.
Rocco DiSangroHOST
I feel for the person, whoever that may be, that was in the Oriole Bird mask.
Rocco DiSangroHOST
And that, it's crazy, national headlines.
Zach BollingerHOST
That was, that's the thing.
