The first porridge was too hot.

Now the porridge is too cold.

Is it really that crazy to ask for it just right?

Well, no of course not, but who is asking?  You?  Me?  Someone else?  The problem is, someones just right is another's too cold or too hot.

I don't know how it possibly couldn't impact our right handed hitters' approach. They have to look at that stupid wall 81 games a year.  You can only hear "it would have been a homerun in 28 other bal

I don't know of anywhere that has exactly what you are looking for. Statcast will tell you for every ball hit how many parks it would have gone out of, but I don't know how you could easily translate

The wall was yet another case, in the case of many’s. Where Elias thought he was smarter than everybody  and decided to make hitting homers to left field almost impossible and so in his “genius”he onl

The reality is that no matter how the O's might change the wall, a sizable contingent of the Hangout will bitch and moan about the change.

      2023 vs 2024 Player WAR & 2025 Opportunities

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      But again, nothing you say here changes anything. This team is going to be built from within. They are not going to try to build any other way…and they are right about that. This doesn’t mean they don’t need to spend but again, those guys will supplement the roster. And don’t think they won’t talk about how they added guys at the deadline for 2025. That they are “like free agent signings”.

      2024 Week 5: Ravens @ Bengals

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      It was the holder, not the kicker.  Jackson may not be perfect, but he's far from the problem this year. He's got a fumbling issue that may at some point cost this team a game or two, but there is no doubt he's playing some good football right now.

      Yeah I'm surprised that Cleveland has been this bad. They were good last season.

      The when is really two questions.  One is when do the O's stop being handicapped by the risk-averse mindset that's governed their behavior since 2018, and the second is when does a 74 year-old billionaire tire of being told he has to wait a little longer because Jackson Holliday needs to further refine his new toe-tap?  Oh, and we also need to nail down a position for Coby Mayo, and so on.  No question?  I think the questions are numerous and many of them pretty important, and because they're so important, I think we'll start seeing a change in approach beginning this offseason.  I certainly hope so. Nothing I've said disputes the need for internal development or diminishes the role our current core of young players - some of whom haven't exactly made a seamless transition - will need to play for sustained success.  Nor is it a call for stupid FA spending.  It very much is an argument that time needs to be thought of differently now that two very successful regular seasons are behind the O's and the huge impediment of Angelos ownership is no longer a factor.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      If he wants to join Hyde’s staff in some capacity, I’d be fine with that. Or are you actually talking about him being on the team as a player?

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By foxfield · Posted

      So why would you have sought payment if you were owner as you previously stated?  Since you are not known for being litigious and all? Also as I am sure you’re already aware the media exclusivity rights in Vegas are already shared by 6 major league teams. Which clearly was not the situation in DC as the territory was expressly the territory of the Baltimore Orioles.
