    He isn’t/wasn’t believe that!  He was entertaining and a good guy. 

    BTW, he’s apparently gotten himself suspended on Twitter….he changed his handle to something contains Musk’s name.

    Here is a small exchange I had with him.

    I've been doing this for the last few years. PIA(Private Internet Access) VPN, an Nvidia Shield TV so I can download the PIA app, problem solved.

    It costs me $125 or whatever the MLBTV season pass costs plus $6 a month for PIA, well worth it to be able to watch any game I want.

    Can you PM me and help me do that?

    Did the players report on July 1st?

    Players have started reporting, workout will begin tomorrow for international guys who just arrived yesterday. They had to complete their COVID testing. If results come back clean the international guys will be on field tomorrow. Most are in hotels covered by the team for the season vs trying to acquiring housing for a 60 game season.

    I hope none of them get grief for their decision.

    If they were one of the players plastering “When and where, we ready” on social media then they should, because their antics are just charades if they opt out after that.

    Orioles introducing Artificial Intelligence

    in Orioles Talk

    If this is a repost please disregard. Apparently, the Orioles are using AI for Ballpark Operations and security.

     

    Quote

    Camden Yards, home to the Baltimore Orioles, is set to become one of the first stadiums to use cutting-edge technology to boost security through a new system developed by Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd.

    The new platform, called HEXWAVE, uses low-power, radar imaging and artificial intelligence, specialized for detecting and identifying metallic and nonmetallic weapons without collecting or storing any personally identifiable information.

    Davis. What do you see different with him?

    This is where I'm at.  I haven't seen him either (thanks for broadcasting, like, 7 preseason games, MASN!).  But I'm curious as to why he'd ever want to go away from what made him successful in the first place.  Michael Jordan wouldn't have ever thought of getting away from a mid-range jump shot and driving to the basket.  Tom Brady wouldn't ever go away from quick intermediate passes.  Greg Maddux wouldn't have ever tried to jam batters instead of aiming for the low and outside corner and expanding the strikezone.

    You get guys over the years who, as their skills erode, have to reinvent themselves and figure out new things to be successful.  You hardly ever get guys who decide to just do away with their bread and butter when they're in their prime.

    The improvements do seem dramatic.  I remain skeptical as well, but in theory it all makes sense.  If he's gained some muscle, is letting the ball travel and is trying to hit it to the opposite field, that's a good approach.  Davis did a lot of damage to center and left/center when he was swinging well.  

    Here's hoping it's a legit improvement.  This team would be infinitely more fun to watch if he's back to big power numbers.  It'd also be a big plus for the organization on the whole, that this is now an organization with the analytics, metrics, coaching, etc, that can get a player back on track/develop players.

    He said he was hoping that losing the weight and being more flexible/agile would help him prolong his career. Seemed like he was scared of ending his career early because of his big frame/weight etc. Maybe he though it would break down his knees earlier or cause an injury? At his age one injury could do you in for your career if its tendons in the knee.

    Can we all just be moral human beings for a second? This guy was an integral piece of the team(s) that brought playoff baseball back to Baltimore. For his sake, I hope he has a monster year. Quit wishing ill on a guy that really established his career as an Oriole. He’s part of the family.

    Just for fun....what's our upside if Davis hits .250 with 45 homers?  No comments on likelihood please.  Offense could be pretty good.

    After talking with people it seems like Davis really has turned a corner. 
     

    Not only did he alter what size bat he is using, he was able to generate more bat speed with the help of the O’s and the Blast Technology this winter. 
     

    Time will tell it it leads to better results and exit velo...

    Buck interviewing for Astros job

    You never know. I'm not saying Buck is a not a good manager for a playoff ready team that needs stability, just that it would be a major transition from where they were going as an organization. Young managers and analytics are all the rage. Not exactly Buck's strengths. Who knows, maybe he's trying to convince him to let him be GM since that's what he wanted to act as here as well.

    Being that analytics are all the rage, I highly doubt they want him as their GM.
