The following announcers are in the Orioles Hall of Fame: Chuck Thompson (announced O’s games fron 1955-56, 1962-87), Bill O’Donnell (1966-82), Joe Angel (1988-90, 1992, 2004-18) and Fred Manfra (1993-2017). All had longer tenures than either Jon Miller (1983-96) or Gary Thorne (2007-19). Both Miller and Thorne’s tenure ended amidst contract disputes, while the above four all retired of their own volition. Miller by now is far more associated with the San Francisco Giants, where he’s been for 27 years. But of course, there are many plsyers in the Orioles Hall of Fame who had longer tenures elsewhere and are more associated with other teams. From a quality standpoint, Miller is already in the Baseball Hall of Fame and it’s hard to dispute how great he was with the O’s. Thorne is more subject to opinion, but I’d easily put him ahead of Manfra in terms of quality. We don’t want too many announcers adding to the existing clutter in the OHOF, but I’m curious what people think. I suspect that neither was ever going in while the Angelos family owned the team, given the circumstances of their departures, but today’s a different day. What say you? -

Yeah, we only post negative stuff about Holliday in this thread. Put this crap in the minor league thread -
I said that was the date reality (everybody gets serious) begins. All the players actually available won't be determined until the teams on the bubble decide whether or not they are going to invest in the rest of the season. With the current Wild Card setup, that doesn't happen until the last minute. -

I don't have a Baseball America subscription, but you are able to read an in depth analysis on Coby Nayo's batting metrics here https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/coby-mayo-jackson-holliday-headline-10-statcast-standouts/ Interesting stuff. He looks like a guy we should consider holding onto. -
It's not the next 18 days, it's the next 30 days less the AS break, roughly 15% of the season. My point is that a lot will change in the last two weeks before the trade deadline. It's a little early to call a radical seller's market where Tanner Scott is the clear front-runner.
