With the Orioles having an exciting season this year, we've seen an uptick in posters and that's great, but we've also seen an uptick of posters breaking our rules. Please take the time to read these rules to ensure you can continue to enjoy the board.

Board Policies and Rules

OriolesHangout.com Message Board Policies and Rules: (Terms of Service)

Our message board is widely accepted as the premier message board for O's fans to post on since 1996. We run a very tight ship and although we realize that may not make some people happy; we believe a smaller more quality community is better than an obnoxious unmoderated board.

Policies:

By posting on this board, you acknowledge that you have only one handle on the board and if banned, you will not sign up under another handle. Additionally, you understand that posting on this site is a privilege and not a right, and that privilege can be revoked by the staff at any time for any reason.

Rules:

1. Decisions of moderators and administrators are final.

2. Any posts, reputation comments or private message deemed offensive will be deleted or otherwise censored at the staff's discretion, with or without notice.

3. Proper capitalization and punctuation will be used on all posts. We understand a typo, but constant abuse of this rule could result in an infraction, suspension or banning.

4. Considering the real-time nature of this bulletin board, it is impossible for us to review messages or confirm the validity of information posted. We are not responsible for any messages posted. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message, and are not responsible for the contents of any message. The messages express the views of the author of the message, and not necessarily the views of this community or Orioleshangout.com/Hangout Ventures LLC. Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by reporting the post through the report feature on the board. We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and we will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately.

5. Posts containing slanderous or otherwise disrespectful messages will be removed. This includes name calling of other posters, Orioles players, coaches, front office personnel, members of the media, or Hangout staff.

6. Coarse language will not be tolerated. This includes putting the majority of a foul word and then adding a character like !#@ to defeat the bad word filter. If you don't know the what foul words mean, use George Carlin's 7-words you can't say TV as a guide. 

7. Spamming in any form will not be tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to, repeatedly posting the same or similar content or posting any identical message more than one time or in more than one forum.

8. Any abuses of the private messaging system or reputation comments will result in removal of the offending user and possible ban.

9. Blatant and self-serving advertisements will be removed. Such content will be determined solely by the staff.

10. When quoting information please give the source and a link when possible.

11. Do not post copyrighted material in it's entirety. You may cut and paste portions to discuss but please provide a link to the source site.

12. No Trolling. Discussing or disagreeing with an individual is fine, but constantly going behind their posts just to say something contradictory is trolling and is not allowed.

13. Don't openly complain about the moderation or how this board is run. You can always contact us personally to voice concerns, but quite simply, if you don't like the way the board is run, you are free to go elsewhere.

14.) Knowingly providing false information is grounds for banning.

15.) No political or religious threads/discussions.

16.) No hijacking threads. Keep to the topic at hand. Repeated attempts to hijack threads with the same comments from other threads could result in infractions and possible banning.

17.) Anything posted on this message board may be used by Orioles Hangout in any manner to include but not limited to content and advertising.

These rules and policies may change at any time with or without notice, and be enforced under the new conditions immediately upon such change. The user agrees, by use of this message board, to follow these rules and policies.

How do you ignore a users comments?

Additionally, you can hover over the user name you want to ignore and a box pops up. The last button on the right at the bottom is the ignore button, click that and check all three boxes and you're done.

I don’t know where to post this question and this seems as good at place as any.

Every single time I click on a section or try to post I am redirected to an external ad. This is different from the pop-up ads, which can easily be canceled, this is actually redirecting me to a different website, which won’t let me return to this site.

And they are ads for weird stuff, forestry products, for instance.

I don’t think this is part of the SOP of the site. The pop-up ads are annoying, but I don’t mind them because they help pay for the site but the redirects are incredibly annoying, and make it very difficult to post or even to move around within the site. Is there something that can be done about this?

We're working this with our ad provider. One potential fix is to clear your browser cache so the changes they make will work. Our apologies for the inconvenience. 

BTW, there is a forum to report this kind of stuff called OH, Information and Feedback to report this kind of stuff. Thanks.

Yeah but no one pays attention to that thread.   I posted a question there three weeks ago and it's been nothing but the sound of crickets.

      This is the kind of thing that drives me crazy

      By Frobby · Posted

      Another thing I should say is that my chart doesn't speak to pitch efficiency or how may pitches teams allow their pitchers to throw.   That data isn't easily collected.   But it could be that O's pitchers don't throw a ton of innings because they walk a lot of guys and reach their pitch count limits sooner than a typical team's pitchers do.

      This is the kind of thing that drives me crazy

      By Frobby · Posted

      On the specific question of whether the O's push their starting pitching prospects' workloads far enough, I had a look at all MiL pitchers in the AL who had thrown at least 90 innings, by team, and broke them into groups of 90-99, 100-109, 110-119, and 120+ innings.   This chart summarizes my findings: Team 120+ 110-119 100-109 90-99 Total 90+ Total 110+ BAL 0 1 4 9 14 1 NYY 4 4 2 6 16 8 BOS 0 3 1 5 9 3 TBR 5 4 4 1 14 9 TOR 1 0 5 2 8 1 CLE 7 3 3 2 15 10 MIN 1 3 3 3 10 4 KCR 3 4 4 7 18 7 DET 0 2 4 7 13 2 CWS 2 3 5 4 14 5 HOU 1 4 6 6 17 5 SEA 4 6 3 4 17 10 TEX 1 1 4 8 14 2 OAK 2 1 2 5 10 3 LAA 4 1 4 4 13 5 AL Ave. 2.33 2.67 3.60 4.87 13.47 5.00 Now, there is some incomplete information here.   It won't pick up a pitcher who had 70 innings with one organization and 20 with another, for example.  It doesn't pick up innings that were thrown in the major leagues, so it misses guys like Cade Povich who has 77 innings in the minors and another 59 in the majors.  It obviously can't tell you which organizations lost pitchers to injuries.  And, it doesn't account for the age and experience of pitchers, which can matter a lot with regard to how much workload a team is comfortable with for a pitcher.    All that said, you can see that the Orioles are at the very bottom of the number of pitchers who have thrown 110+ innings.   They only have one, Alex Pham, who is at 115.   The average team has 5, and two teams have as many as 10.  The O's also are one of only three AL teams that have no pitcher who has thrown 120 innings.  The average team has 2.33, and Cleveland has 7.    I might also add that there are a good number of pitchers on the list who have thrown 130+ innings or more.    On the other hand, the O's have a pretty normal number of pitchers (14) who have thrown at least 90 innings (average was 13.47 and the median was 14).  There are some teams like Boston and Toronto who have a lot fewer than that. All in all, I wouldn't say the Orioles are at the very top of the "baby the pitchers" list, but they are certainly leaning heavily in that direction, based on this data (with the caveats I gave above).

      GM Mistakes Elias/Cashman

      Some might call it arrogance, others might call it resolve. I think it's as simple as identifying a problem/situation, analyzing it to the best of your ability and that of the resources at your disposal, reaching a conclusion, and sticking to that decision based on the analysis that brought you to that decision. Beyond that, Elias will learn when and how to adjust as he gains experience in the #1 chair.  Honestly, I don't even have any gripes with him at the moment. We all wanted Holliday up, then he stunk. Then we all wanted Mayo up, then he stunk. So who are we complaining about now? I can't even keep up. Not to derail, but it's the same unfair criticism that Hyde is facing on this board. Manager and GM sure have become thankless responsibilities around here. And I know how you all talk about Harbaugh on the football board, too. I'm not apologist for any of them, but I do admire the fact that they've been able to build a championship-caliber club and maintain it through all of the injury adversity we've faced. This board is quick to point out mistakes, but is terrible at giving credit where credit is due, and having the most wins in the American League as we sit here on September 6 deserves a bunch of credit.

      Past their Prime Stars on the O's

      Great example, even if we only kept him for part of the season.  Holzman was one of those guys whose success defined explanation, especially by current standards.  He went 5 - 4 for us with a tidy 2.86 ERA... but he allowed 100 hits in 97 innings and allowed more walks (35) than KOs (25).

      Is it really more difficult? Much more?    To this O’s fan, the 1970s were a lot “easier” than the 2000s.

      That seems to require that Dominguez would be the better contributor.

      Did the Orioles quietly raise ticket prices?

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      I live in California and prices for games in SF and Oakland change day-to-day. That is just normal in 2024, any price is only the price at the moment.
