Honestly, I think you are reading too much into what baseball is doing.  I have a Black Lives Matter related sign on my lawn.    It’s got nothing to do with hating the police, or wanting the country t

My mom (no jokes from you old timers) has a seriously hard time understanding what BLM means.  There's the official organization, run by Marxists and anti-capitalists who seem pretty radical...and the

The Hangout will always be a politics free area. The question now is whether the Hangout will continue. It is something I've discussed with Michael and will sleep on as I consider all of the reasons w

Adding a politics section? Closing down the board? Hopefully not the latter. Either would be shocking. 

There will never be a politics section on the Hangout. In our minds, we would know nothing about anyone's views on anything other than sport. This is not Twitter or Facebook. It's a place to talk Oriole intrigue.

Well, maybe we would know your position on sous-vide .

I really hope that whatever caused this announcement, it’s not me. I think in MLB becoming involved in various political movements is terrible for the sport it’s terrible for any sport. We are sports we’re not politics. Trey Mancini isn’t running for Congress and I don’t care about his political beliefs.  
i want baseball. No stupid patches, especially stupid patches that are restricted to only narrow subjects.

I don't like it when sport leagues get involved with politics regardless of the politics. I just want to enjoy the diversion without the messaging.

      Hard to argue with a lot of your points. He's had two 1-1 and should have taken Witt over Rutschman and has a poor defensive second baseman with hitting issues with his other one.  He gets one more offseason with bigger pocketbooks. He gets one more year to put up or shutup.

      Baseball is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall all alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. A.

      Let him walk. That pop up with the bases loaded and no outs sort of encapsulates the entire postseason for us. It was a pathetic effort and we ended up with squat in a clutch situation.  The HRs are cool but he doesn't hit for average and is only getting older. And he sucks in the playoffs. Goodbye.

      Is Brandon Hyde going to pull out the “ we just need to do a better job” boilerplate or is he coming up with another way to say the same thing?    It’s easy to be snarky right now. There’s choking under pressure and there’s whatever the team has done over the last couple months. “Choke” doesn’t begin to cover the gag they threw up the last two nights when the season was on the line. Fans leaving the stadium right now aren’t just disappointed, many of them feel betrayed. Hard to blame them. I wonder if Elias might feel the same way.

      Season in a microcosm

      I just can't comprehend how the 2023 team PLUS Corbin Burnes devolved into this pile of excrement. This may be a .500, non-playoff team next year. I didn't expect any sort of magical run this playoff season, but I didn't think they'd get embarrassed AGAIN on the national stage.

      Better yet, where was Adam Frazier when we needed him most.....oh, wait, in the other dugout.    Bases loaded, no one out....sure could have used that guy that Hangouters had to jettison out of here favor of Jackson Holliday.
