I just wanted to take the time to wish you and your family the Merriest of Christmases, The Happiest of Hannukkahs, or the Happiest of Holidays to all of you. Thank you all for being part of our Hangout family and for everything you bring to this community.

Like with any family, we may "fight" at times (Thanks Frazier 🤣), but it should never be personal. We dust ourselves off, and come back to the next thread ready to agree with the very person you may have disagreed with in the other thread! 

In the end, each and every one of you makes the Hangout what it is, and that's the best online community to discuss the Orioles. 

Hope you all enjoy your holidays with your friends and family and here's to the Orioles having a great season next year!!!

Thanks Tony.  And the same to you and yours.  The surprising turnaround of the O's has been discussed at length on this board.  Some give credit to Elias and his devotion to analytics, some to Brandon Hyde and his coaching staff for being able recognize and correct flaws in their players, some to a combination of both.

But I know the real reason the O's have turned around... it's because the baseball gods have smiled on your decision to stick with the Hangout!  

Merry Christmas buddy!  Thanks for another great year of Orioles baseball talk!

Deck the warehouse with Kyle Gibson (fa la la la la, la la la la)

McCann, Frazier, & Mychal Givens (fa la la la la, la la la la)

Pray we trade for starting pitching (fa la la la la, la la la la)

Then we all can stop our b____ing (fa la la la la, la la la la)

I wish all of my friends here a Happy Holiday! That includes everyone that is a member whether it’s paid or free. We won’t always agree and that’s okay! Thank you for the fun debates, objective replies, and look forward to talking baseball and football in 2023. Hopefully a championship is in the cards for one? Well maybe not but we can hope right.

Best Regards,

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By AlbNYfan · Posted

      I have concerns about Holliday. I know SSS and the O's put a lot of pressure on the kid. T-shirt day, his first appearance. Really?? Who the F planned that? Still, I saw nothing that impressed me, hitting, fielding or arm. I know all the scouts had him one or close to it. I sometimes wonder if their ratings had anything to do with his father's success. So, the O's send him back down to fix him. I think this kid lived baseball and was probably given the best coaching on a near daily basis by his dad, players and coaches on the Cardinals. He's young and may be great. Sell high. Mayo...everyone looks at the O....where to hide him?  No way 3rd. This site is pretty tough on players that play poor D.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Passan drew this link between Dombrowski and Elias in his big piece for this week.     That's the basic question before us as Elias has excelled setting it all up...he's playing the highest stakes games now.      Adley's 3.5 years is perhaps ballpark similar to the timeframe the Phillies' great players remain a championship caliber nucleus.     Adley's final 3 years - unless payroll grows, the opportunity for rosters with Burnes-Santander-Kimbrel level supporting players may shrink a little. It's more about ensuring a window doesn't close without a team maximizing its opportunity. In this regard, the Phillies and Orioles are quite similar, though Dombrowski's counterpart in Baltimore, Mike Elias, gets a little more leeway because the Orioles' period of contention is longer than any team's. The Phillies' isn't short, by any means, but every year Bryce Harper (31 years old), Trea Turner (31), J.T. Realmuto (33), Zack Wheeler (34) and Aaron Nola (31) age is a year closer to an inevitable downturn. That's when, as an executive in charge, you push. And when it comes to a willingness to look past what a computer system suggests is proper value and potentially overpay for talent, nobody matches Dombrowski. Robert fits the bill and fills a need.

      Since I currently have Basallo 3rd, guess I have to be consistent and say he would go first.  I think Mayo and Basallo have the chance to be absolute impact power bats while I think Holliday has a chance to be a very good OBP guy with some pop.  I'd only say Basallo because he has more risk than the other other two and Orioles seem to be gradually transitioning from catch to 1B (he's basically split time between C and 1B since he was allowed to throw. Saying that, Basallo may have the highest ceiling bat wise of the three.  Mayo is the safest bet because he's major league ready now and has developed that game power now. The arm strength gives him a chance to stay at 3B for a bit but even if he transitions to 1B or RF he'll have value. Holliday hit just .222 in June in AAA but had a .444 OBP because if his ability to draw walks, walks that he might not get with major league umpires until he establishes himself.  Really, I'm not trading any of them, but if I had to, it's Basallo followed by Holliday.

      Keep Holiday and when he’s ready , install him at 2B , keep Westy at 3B , Gunnar at SS and Mayo is our 1B . Then after we’re set at infield. keep one of Urias , Mateo or Norby as our utility backup.  I love Basallo but he’s the one ( if we plan on Skubal) to sacrifice  Just my opinion

      Trade NONE of them!  Keep Holliday, Mayo, Basallo!   (I'd even try to keep Kjerstad too!).   Package Stowers, McDermott, Norby, Bradfield, Beavers and 2 other lower minors guys!
