Why all the hate towards the O's hat? I love it. Then again, I like all of our hats/jerseys.

Nice infusion of the Ravens/O's in your icon....

Nothing is better than the cartoon bird...Its like the old brewers logo as one of the all-time best hat graphics of all time. Certainly a ton better than some Nature guide picture of an Oriole Bird.

This combo looks too good not to use it more often....

Please take the sticky off this thread. It's a little like "how should we rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic?" at the moment.

Haha, good point, but its nice to talk about something outside the realm of the actual baseball being viewed from this team...It's about time we focus on next year. I just wish MacPhail would get the memo and make a move or two.... or 5.

I don't know if this would work, but maybe incorporate 41 in front of the O's on the hat so it says 41O's. Shows who we played for as 410 is the Baltimore area code and represents are name as the O's/Orioles.

Just a thought.

I'd like 42O's better...:wedge:

It's funny though because I do occasionally see rappers or thugs from other parts of the country on TV or Youtube wearing the "O's" hat because it can be interpreted as meaning O's as in ounces of drugs...Not exactly great PR for a team from a city already known as the heroin capital of the USA.

After reading the entire thread though, I do think we should come up with a (somewhat) unique logo to bring in a new era in Orioles baseball, however I don't see how you can get much better than the classic cartoon bird. I just can't stand the current nature guide bird, that's for sure.

Check this one out, hehehe

I'm sure that's the only reason any of those guys are wearing that hat, right?

Not that it's actually one of the best looking hats that you can find on the shelf at your local Lids/HatWorld/Foot Locker/whatever...

I really don't understand the hate-on you guys have for that hat, either...

I guess rappers from down south may wear it because the O's are a respectable organization? Lol

I actually liked how the Independence Day Weekend O's hat looked besides the fact that the Navy and Red was a horrible contrast with our Orange and black.

I'm just not a huge fan of the orange bill. I'd like our "O's" hat much better without it, and maybe with a white border around the letters or even Black and white with orange border around the letters. Just looks like a cheesy novelty hat as it is to me anyhow.

      Thank you. I knew there was something bogus about that post. I saw Cal play SS. And Gunnar is no Cal at SS. Not even close. And this is coming from a big fan of Gunnar. I would like to see him play a traditional power position. Call me old fashioned. He’s hurting the team at SS.

      Interesting.  We live in a data obsessed world now but it's not the answer to everything.  There should be a mix.

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)?

      I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change.
