I'm pretty sure if you leave now, you'll have plenty of time to get here, get a good night's rest and be ready to party hard for a great time tomorrow night. I'll even buy you a beer or 4. ;)

Just giving you a hard time. It's great that we have so many Hangouters across the country!

haha, if only...I will at some point this year...and maybe we can all meet up then. SO GLAD I found this message board, I have been looking for an active Orioles message board that didn't suck for a really long time...how long has this been here???

I just called the ticket office at Camden Yards; the employee told me there has only been 1 rainout in 3 years at Camden Yards. Maybe they will get the game in after all.

If anyone else is wondering about the picnic area for tonight’s UMBC event; if it’s raining hard the Orioles will set up all the food and drink indoors.

I don't know the exact number of years but it's been awhile... early 2000s? But your story is the same as mine (and I bet a lot of others). Looking for a good Orioles forum and found this. Welcome aboard.

Back to topic: Weather.com now has game time rain chance between 50-60% chance. Radar won't load up on this crappy work computer. Description does has the precip as light rain/showers... it's entirely possible they try hard to get the game in because of the Rangers not being back this season... wouldn't be a fun night on the ball field, but we might get some sloppy baseball.

I think it's actually older than even the oldest join dates. There are probably people (Tony) that know for sure, but if I remember correctly, the board/membership was redone in 2003 and caused everyone to have to re-register. The site was around, in essentially the same format as today, since before then (but not sure exactly when it first came to be).

Stoner was one of the original members, if i'm not mistaken, as was Sports Guy. I'm sure one of them could chime in with some information.

I think the very original boards were from '96, '97 ish? I've been here since 2001.

Honestly, I've gotta ask... how did you not find this place? I just Google'd "Orioles messageboard" and the OH was one of the first results. I joined waaaay back in '03, during the Tejada craze. Easily the best place for Orioles discussion.

Four years ago, the OH didn't show up at all on my search. I found the Yahoo O's group and someone there mentioned the OH, that is how I originally found the place. It does "Google" much better now, but I was also wandering the virtual reality void in search of a good, um, place to Hangout!

Fate worked out great...

That's pretty unusual.. I remember finding the OH through a Google search right around the time Tejada signed. Haven't missed a day since.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By deward · Posted

      If you're projecting a future lineup without Mullins in 2026, then EBJ is a reasonable placeholder name to put in there. I would assume most people understand that it's not a sure thing to work out that way.

      My annual head first slide thread

      By webbrick2010 · Posted

      Every year players are injured sliding head first into bags or even worse home plate. Just noticed that EBJ has a head injury from sliding head first into home (really dangerous and stupid) I'll say it again, what analytics driven organization will be the first to ban head first slides for all of their players I remember when David Sequi was a decent player and ended his career with a serious hand injury sliding head/hand first into home. Cal never slid head first, and wouldn't have been the iron man if he did.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      Oh, I don't know. I thought when accusing someone of wild malpractice over possibly, maybe, slightly speeding up highlights that kind of opened the door to a little goofy exaggeration.

      The A's Series

      I was going to post something about this after reading about that on MLBTR this morning. That gives me a lot of hope for Bradish if this kid can come back from a UCL sprain and throw 103. Obviously, reliever vs. starter so who knows. But uplifting to read nonetheless.

      Hollocher hit almost exclusively 2nd in the order. The Cubs' 3rd hitters (and it was the Cubs, not the Indians as I previously stated) were mostly Marty Krug, Zeb Terry, and John Kelleher. Krug was awful for a 1922 3rd-place hitter, with an 83 OPS+ in his only season as a MLB regular, but he only struck out 43 times in 524 PAs. Terry was worse, OPS+ing 74, but with just 16 Ks in 571 PAs. And Kelleher was the worst of the bunch, OPS+ing 60, while striking out 14 times in 222 PAs. Cubs manager Reindeer Bill Killefer stuck hard and fast to the old rule of thumb that the catcher should bat 8th, even if it's Bob O'Farrell and he hit .324 with an .880 OPS. Ray Grimes had a 1.014 OPS and batted cleanup. But Hack Miller and his .899 OPS batted mostly 6th. Statz wasn't a terrible leadoff hitter, was one of only a couple players who had a SB% higher than 50%, but was 6th among their regulars in OBP. That's as bad a bunch of #3 hitters as I've seen in a while, yet the Cubs finished 80-74-2. Just goes to show you batting order doesn't really matter. Anyway, back to the main point... yes, I'm sure some of Hollocher's CS were busted hit-and-runs. But nobody that regularly batted behind him struck out in even 7% of PAs so they shoulda been putting the ball in play the vast majority of the time.

      4/25: Bowie Wins, Only Team Above .500

      By Frobby · Posted

      How many people actually said they were one of the greatest teams ever?   They did hit the snot out of the ball the first 9 games of the year, mostly in a 6 game series in a very hitter-friendly ball park against a bad pitching staff.  That said, they’re still second in the league in runs per game.  Their pitching has been problematic, yielding 6.50 runs per game.
