Another view from a fan who bought first one at a local LIDS (that's a big hat (7 5/8) for a big head or head of hair):

“You’re the first one to buy one from this store. We literally just put them out”- Lids employee. Boooooyow. @orioles 2018 cap acquired. Material is so different than anything I’ve worn before. Really nice hat.

I love the angry bird logo and it's nice to see it on a black hat instead of the orange players weekend hats. I'll have to check them out next time I'm in a Lids store.

What is the logo made of? It looks like a big plastic one and I don't know how well that would hold up compared to a stitched one.

Is this an angry bird though?  Looks like a friendly bird.  I heard that Dick's also carries them.  The logo below looks angry (I'm not a fan of either FWIW):

You would be correct Bob, that is the angry bird logo, I was wrong. I do like the logo on the new hats, but I have to see it in person first to see how it is. It looks plastic in the pic.

I actually hate the fact that they’re constantly tinkering with all these caps, which is obviously just done to sell merchandise.    

I like it, I'm a fan of O's caps that are a little different from the general crowd.  That's probably pretty obviously since my avatar is an Orioles Fathers day cap.

    • He'll go back to pulling pitches and hit 30 HRs there.
    • I tend to agree with this.  We certainly aren't the best farm system any more and it's time to use Uncle Dave's money some.  I'm in favor of buying the pitching we need.  There are some good FA arms out there.  If there's a bat on another team they want to trade for that's different since the FA position player list isn't good.
    • This what I think happens too.  We'll trade from the FV 40ish tier not the 45 or higher tier.  And I can see dealing from the top ofthe deck (i.e. Mounty, Urias, Kremer*...) to build the ceiling of the pipeljne or weaker/thinner positions.  *A Kremer based deal would be predicated on an FA SP signing.  I don't see it happening but it's an interesting case study.
    • Maybe he should be a free agent target this offseason. 
    • Hays hit .354 / .404 / .537 against LH pitching this season. I would absolutely take him back as a platoon player who can fill in all three OF positions. Given the number of southpaws other teams throw against us we'd be nuts not to consider signing him if he gets DFA'd. 
    • I went and checked how we compared to other playoff teams in platooning and pinch-hitting during the playoffs.  I used the first two wildcard games as the sample to keep it apples to apples with the Orioles’ experience.  For the 8 wildcard teams, I counted the number of line-up changes from game 1 to game 2 and the number of pinch hit PAs and added them together.  For lineup changes, I didn’t consider batting order or positions, only the number of hitters that started game 1 but didn’t start game 2 (only McCann for the Orioles). The Orioles were middle of the pack - 4th highest moves among the 8 wildcard teams. #       Team                Lineup changes Pinch hits PAs Total        T1 Tigers 3 5 8            T1 Astros 1 7 8 3 Mets 1 6 7 4 Orioles 1 5 6 5 Royals 1 4 5 6 Braves 1 2 3 7 Brewers 1 1 2 8 Padres 0 0 0 For some additional context, only the Orioles and Tigers faced different-handed starters the first two games AND had opposing pitcher handedness change at least 5 times in those games. Teams that faced same-hand starter both days: Royals Astros Mets Braves   Number times opposing pitcher handedness changed in game: Astros - 8 Royals - 8 Orioles - 5 Tigers - 5 Mets - 4 Padres - 3 Braves - 2 Brewers - 1 
    • If Hays is non tendered he will be looking for the team that will play him full time.     And he might find it.   He in not even 30 yet.   But the O's don't have that to offer him.
