Wharf Rat is a great bar, although I'd much prefer it if the locale could be within walking distance to the stadium. I'll be in for wherever we end up going though.

Not sure what you meant by walking distance? We did congregate there for at least one game last year, and we all walked to the stadium afterwards....although we didn't have a pregnant woman with us at the time. ;)

I'm new and I have a question that is related to these seats

I'm planning on going to the game this Friday against the Yankees (and perhaps Saturday or Sunday). I have a student ID and I want to get a LF Upper Reserved seat for $6. Will I be able to show up an hour or two and get one? In general, can I show up before the game and get one of those seats?

Usually its no problem, but the Red Sox and Yankees games will sell out. Stop by the box office a day or two early and pick up your tickets. Or I'd say get there by at least about 3pm on Friday to make sure you get a ticket. Just spend a few extra hours drinking before the game to kill the time.

LOL Well, I might have to start out about 5 minutes ahead of the rest of the crowd and let you all catch up with me. The bigger my belly gets, the slower I move. :D

Any word, yet, on our "official" Hangout location?

Edgar's it is! The good people at Edgar's have offered to reserve space for us out on the patio and for Hangouters only...$2 Miller Lite drafts. I'm going to try to get there around 5pm, so look for Mrs. Baseball and I sipping a beverage!

For directions and more information, go to www.edgarsclub.com. For you mixed martial arts fans, Edgar's is also broadcasting Saturday night's UFC event ($10 cover charge). The main event? Matt "The Terror" Serra vs. George "Rush" St. Pierre in Serra's first defense of the UFC Welterweight Championship. Serra shocked the world last year when he beat St. Pierre into a TKO by referee stoppage.

MMA addicts that we are, Mrs. Baseball and I are likely heading back to Edgar's right after the game.

Great job Scott.

I hope everyone will join us pregame. I'll be debuting the Mrs this year and we'll be there around 5:30 or so since my son has an afternoon game on Saturday.

Let's show Edgar's the strength of the Hangout community. Hangout out before hand allows you more time to chat with everyone and get to know your fellow Hangouts. Oh, and we might just be giving out some free tickets to future games at Edgars... You never know....;)

Hope to see everyone there... So who's coming for sure to the pregame hangout???

Me and Mrs. Baseball for sure!!!

By the way...last year's Hangout Nights evolved into this very tightly knit group of regulars that kind of started with the first pregame get together at Edgar's.

I'll admit that I was apprehensive initially to meet face-to-face with this group of people most of whom I'd only known as a user ID on our message board. Once introductions were done, it was almost like we'd all known each other for years.

If you're considering coming out but are reluctant thinking, "I don't really know these folks," I can assure you that you won't be disappointed. This is inarguably the greatest group of O's fans in Baltimore.

So, I might suprise the Missus with tickets (but not in the Hangout section, cuz she will lamentably be in pinstripes). If so, we may at least see you at the pregame.

And yeah, we are great people :D

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      The second question is - what extensions can the Orioles do with guys other than these 4, who are not Boras clients? Don’t want to rehash the “Boras clients don’t extend” debate, but let’s assume whatever they can do with these 4 doesn’t impact the ability to do other extensions.  Grayson: With 5 years of control after this one, it would have to be something like 6 years + a couple option years. Possible, but not super high priority.  Bradish: Entirely TBD on how he returns from injury, and even then a bit of the same question as Grayson with so much control remaining.  Westburg, Cowser and Kjerstad: Lumping them all together because I think it’s similar considerations. At their ages when their years of control expire, I don’t think it really makes sense. All 3 have been phenomenal to start the year but still have significant question marks about their games (really high whiff rates and not great K/BB for Westburg and Cowser, Kjerstad’s defense, chase rate and of course not yet facing MLB yet). Mayo and Basallo: Given their ages they are going to be the best candidates, IMO. However, it’s premature now for obvious reasons, particularly with the major questions about how much defensive value they are going to provide at the MLB level.  Unfortunately I have a hard time seeing any extensions happening in the near future, even if Elias and Rubenstein have all the best intentions of wanting to do them.

      How should we look at FA contracts going forward?

      By Say O! · Posted

      My opinion in principle depends on the duration of the FA contract.  For the Orioles as currently constructed, the roster will be inexpensive over next 3 years with most premium guys either pre-arb or early arb years.  That would make me lean toward FA signing of elite SP this upcoming offseason. Now last winter we saw only Nola receive long duration contract at 7yrs (I’m putting Yamamoto & Ohtani in separate category given the JP marketing angle).  The industry seemed reticent to give $$$ and length to the other premium SPs (Snell, Montgomery) but was this Boras driven?  Would the premium SPs be willing to sign 3-4 yr deals at higher AAVs or instead play out essentially one year deals?  Example — would a guy like Burnes go for 4/175M? the market dynamics will be interesting with demand (which big market clubs pursuing — Cubs, LAA, SFG, NYY?) and supply (Burnes, Fried as FAs and Montgomery, Snell, Cole as potential opt outs).  As well as Boras negotiating factor.

      Adley by default (though not sure if he’d prefer to be west coast long term). I don’t expect Gunnar, Corbin, or Jackson to be viable extension options.  I know there are some examples of Boras clients extending like Strasbourg and Carlos Gomez, but it’s rare and I can’t see Elias pulling the trigger on what it would take to get one of those deals done.

      The playoffs is extremely volatile. This isn't the NBA or even the NFL; the best team doesn't win all the time, or perhaps even most of the time. So long as they are annually good enough to win the AL East, there really can be no rational critique of their approach.

      You predicting any rings? At this point that should be the goal.

      Here's my prediction: We're going to win ~ games this season and ~100 games next season. And in between, in the next off-season, this board will have several meltdowns bemoaning the lack of FA signings.

      This is why I was against the Burnes trade. I could turn out to be wrong even only having him for one year, but I would have rather got a guy with a few years of control. I agree though. You really can't extend him at what he's going to ask for.
