How many past and present O's players do you think read this forum?

If you were a baseball player, would you really spend what little precious free time you have during the season on a message board? I don't think so.

It would bleed over into my lego and call of duty time.

Zero

[Emory Eagle]

My guess would be zero.

I think I would be more interested if anyone in the front office is on the Hangout.

I'm sure that at the very least they have an intern monitoring things.

I am sure there are players that read here.  Has to be.   I doubt anyone posts under an alias though.  Come to think of it I don't think I have ever heard of any active player posting anywhere in any sport. 

I wonder if there are certain league rules that prohibit it. 

I know there are rules in the NBA about posting on social media with guns just ask Ja Morant about them.   lol

I am just waiting for the day when we see a message on the game threads responding to Roy.  When he asks for a fly ball with a man on third and Mountcastle hits one and then asks if he is happy on the thread.

most likely more than you think

Poor Parker…but he’ll always have that splendid season with the Angels.

Caleb Joeseph started a blog about his time in the minor leagues.  We would post his stuff here.  The Orioles made him stop.

There have been a few players (majors/minors) whose relatives have posted here, and at least one who had an account here, though he never posted.  Offhand:

- David Hermandez’s father

- George Sherrill’s brother

- Parker Bridwell’s mother

- Tony Butler

Butler was acquired in the Bedard trade and was a pretty highly regatded prospect (no. 6 in a good Mariners farm system, I think), but unfortunately got hurt early in his time with us and never made it back.  

Otherwise, I doubt many major leaguers read this site, but I’d bet some minor leaguers do.  I do remember that Curt Schilling used to post on Sons of Sam Horn while he was playing for the Red Sox.

Good question he was only writing normal stuff.  But I guess they were afraid of "Ball Four" type stuff.  Maybe about how the young guys might go out and get plastered.  Whatever the reason the Orioles stopped it.  And I have not heard about any ballplayers having blogs while they are playing.  I dont think MLB likes the idea.

Probably "what is in the clubhouse stays in the clubhouse"  Or we get a Chicken and Beer Redsox disaster.

I’m going with zero.  Prove me wrong.  I dare ya.
