    I think the one thing this team is missing is a true MOO masher, like the Astros have with Yordan.  Somebody your entire pitching strategy has to be based around. Based on that I’ll take Chris Davis during his first 50 homer year. I think that was 2013. Imagine that level of power threat right in the middle of Gunnar, Adley, Santander, Mountcastle, Hays, Mullins, Westburg.  O’Hearn has been great but replacing him with that years Davis would be monumental. 

    Second this. Give me chris Davis and a bottle of aderell and there’s a parade in baltimore

    I'm honestly wondering if it makes sense to make him a 5-and-dive guy the remainder of the season. Seems to often lose it in the 6th after really strong 5-innings to begin an outing. Would help manage his innings / arm usage as well.

    I think you let him play it out as it would be big for his confidence. You can tell he wants it bad, and he deserves it. He’s not just another guy, this guy has 8 solid inning potentials and we have to let him unlock it through confidence

    2015...lol

    I've been watching/attending games since 1988! And some longer than me without a Series appearance. Get in line...lol

    Hahah I meant a playoff series not begging for a world just yet! Only 22, and no family that’s an orioles fan so I’m doin my best

    By winning the division we will get a buy in round 1 of the playoffs thus getting time to rest then. IMO that kind of "rest" would be far more advantageous. 

    Definitely would be great for the ws chances, I also just really want to get a series win. Started watching the birds in 2015 so I’m deprived

    He will get a few days as Hyde has done before.

    Thank you, I didn’t know the tendencies. Residing in Europe, it is hard to watch the games daily as they play past midnight but I have been trying my best to keep up!

  6. now that we are done with the big Al east series id love us to chill on Yano and Bautista a bit even if it means blowing a save or two. Would be a great a way to give a guy the opportunity to rise up. Idk if this is crazy, but I’d rather be super fresh healthy and rested as a wild card then win the division by pushing to hard 

     

    don’t get me wrong I still want the east but jeez let “King Felix” chill now

  7. I still fully believe we need more dominate middle relievers, and am equally as pissed as you all about baker yesterday, but I don’t think he deserves as much hate as he got. 
    he inherited a runner on first and second with zero outs and was able to get 2, then got robbed of a strikeout, then got to a 0-2 count. 
    He threw one bad pitch, but even then he through the pitch brad and the others thought he would. The dodgers are probably a top 2 hitting lineup in the league, and they made a good play. 

  8. I don’t love that we are throwing him out there agains the LA dodgers tbh. Those guys constantly have the potential to blow someone out of the water. They are inconsistent, but as a LA native with all dodgers fans I really want this game and the series

    Dean is at 46 and wells at 50. Love to see it. I trust all 3 in a potential playoff run right now, and doubles down my beliefs we need a relief pitcher and not another starter. 
     

    grayson will step up eventually, and anything we get from him is a bonus right now. Granted, if we want to be truly elite and not just really good, we need that bonus 

  10. Not to be pessimistic, but let’s make the playoffs before we talk about World Series and underdogs vs braves 

    We have no more than a 1% chance to win a WS annually if we don’t spend money in offseasons. 
     

    the rebuild is going great and we shouldn’t jeopardize it for a smaller shot this year. Give young guys Abs, add a decent relief pitcher, and let’s aim for a playoff series win first imo
