I say we eat the money and dump Davis.The money is spent anyway. He is clogging up 1B. He is one of the worst hitters in baseball. He's a nice guy and all, but he is detrimental to the team now. It is best for the team to just cut all ties with him.

After having the worst ERA in baseball the last couple years, I agree that improving our pitching is a nice idea.

What a game that was.

Baseball sure has changed.

Yep, McNally gave up 2 runs and only pitched 2.1 innings in game 1. Drabowsky came in and pitched the rest of the game and allowed 1 hit with 11 Strikeouts. McNally came back and pitched a shutout in game 4 to clinch the Series. The 4 pitchers were Dave McNally, Moe Drabowsky, Wally Bunker, Jim Palmer.

The Rays used 9 pitchers in last nights playoff game. The Orioles used 4 pitchers total in winning the 1966 World Series.

Speaking of spending money wisely...We still owe Davis $93M and we still owe Cobb $49M. That $142M puts quite the damper on spending any more money.

We still owe Cobb $49M for 2 years of playing and 4 years of deferred payments until 2025. Impossible that someone would be stupid enough to pick him up and pay that.

So we win the division in 2023. 😎

Houston, after having 3 years playing .346, .340, and .315 ball in 2011-2013, turned it around in only 3 years to win 101 games the 4th year, 2017. Can we do that? Should Elias study what they did?

You should have told that to the Orioles before they spent $57M on Cobb.

It will be longer than that unless we buy some good pitching.

Orioles.

Is Bundy worth $5.7M to the Orioles?
