and he says that he can't wait to be an Oriole. He told me that he is extremely excited, and that he can't wait to get started. He also told me that he is working out right now to stay prepared.

I also asked him about the contract situation, and he told me that he is very confident that the deal will be completed soon. I told him to hurry up, because we need him badly. I'm going to try to get him to join Oriole Hangout soon as well. That would be cool.

I'm also going to try to get Nolan Reimold to join as well. There are other Oriole Minor Leaguers I'm going to try to get to join as well like:

Kyle Hudson

Caleb Joseph

Bobby Bundy

Xavier Avery

L.J. Hoes

They were drafted last month. And they are really nice guys.

We'll see how it goes. I don't how many of you actually care if they join, but if you do, let me know. I'll keep you posted.

I'm sure it was 'myspace' or 'facebook'.

Even though the criticisms stay somewhat respectful on OH, it might be a bit much for some of these kids to read the full spectrum of 'message board posts' about themselves when they go through struggles.

I was just thinking the same thing. Maybe it's not such a good idea to have them join the hangout ;)

With Tony's blessing, it would be nice to set up a special chat section and have weekly chat sessions with the registered players. It would add a nice element to the board and perhaps give us all a better insight what these guys face on a daily basis:)

We're working on stuff like this. The Hangout is going to do some growing in the near future. We appreciate the input!!!

On a related note...keep in mind we have beat writers who cover the Keys and Baysox every home game, Tony does plenty of roving, and I've been hitting an Ironbirds game at least once per homestand. Mike Miller (Bowie) offered at the beginning of the season to pass along questions from the message boards to players and I doubt Adam would mind doing the same. It goes for me as well.

Don't hesitate to pass along player questions to me whenever they arise. I'd like to make things in Bowie as interactive as possible, not to mention I pretty much live at Prince George's Stadium (I'm thinking about taking over a luxury suite and converting it into an apartment). Send me a PM here on the boards or an email at mikemiller1287@yahoo.com .

Also, you'd be surprised just how many players do in fact read the Hangout.

He lives on the west coast. So it was like 2:30am (for him) when we were talking. Trust me. I'm not making this stuff up. I would come up with alot better stuff if I were. :)

I'll talk to Phil and Brian and put in a good word for you. There used to be a cot hidden in the press box but when they actually started getting radio coverage in there it disappeared ;)

      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

      By interloper · Posted

      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.
