You're mighty tough behind a keyboard.

Again, there's no reason to be nasty.

You never know how your behavior can backfire. I'd be careful tossing insults dude.

Yeah, I'll pay for breaking the rules. You and a couple others are good at what you do.

Other than that, are making some sort of threat or just providing advice?

Idiotic posts/opinions should be owed no respect. A lot yours certainly fall in that category including all of the ones in this thread.

Dude, what are you talking about? There's no agenda here. It was a nice conversation until you jumped in tossing insults around. Why not take the high road for once in your life?

So you believe this was just a coincidence? The timing and all?

This just came out of the blue?

Okay.

Brian Roberts....blame it on Brian Roberts.

He was pissed because the Orioles didn't resign him after the Yankees released him. And he was jealous that they were going into post season play again without him. So he snitched on his old buddy Chris Davis to get even.

Now there's a conspiracy theory for ya!

That's a funny one. I doubt that happened. :)

However, the idea of of the Yankees complaining about something seems possible.

These things usually take lot of time. The timing of the punishments aren't random. Someone knew about this a long time ago and someone timed the punishment. Whoever that was had a big gripe against the O's. Anyone who believes this is random is naive imho

Maybe these things usually take a lot of time if there's an appeal, because the player has a right to confidentiality during that process. In this case, it is not feasible that it took more than about thirteen days, and that's a serious stretch. More likely, the whole process took about five or six days.

Absolute maximums (and this is a stretch): about three business days for the original positive test to be conducted and then reported to the union; a maximum of three days for the union to report to Davis; a maximum of seven days for the B sample to be tested; a maximum of three business days before all parties have a conference; a maximum of one additional day for discipline to be officially issued; discipline is effective on the third business day after discipline has been issued. The player and union have that time to decide whether to grieve or appeal the decision.

There is absolutely no basis to draw this conclusion whatsoever.

How come you're so sure of that?

Why do some of you react so strongly to the speculation of conspiracy? You disbelieving it doesn't mean anyone is wrong.

MSK

In post #3 you wrote the following...

I know some folks scoff at the concept of conspiracy theories, but I know enough about the dirt behind the scenes to know that Davis' suspension seemed to come at the most inopportune time for the Orioles.

Exactly what is the "dirt behind the scenes"? Do you have actual evidence that supports the existence of a conspiracy? By all means, please share.

Yes, Davis' suspension seemed to come at an inopportune time. Why do some of you believe correlation implies causation?

      I thought Chisholm missed home too. They didn’t appeal tho I don’t think.

      Inexcusable missed call in NY. Review Cleo at showed Chisholm out at 2nd. They upheld safe call.

      Elias: It's on me

      Well, good on posters who proved the SSS side of "Guards Ball." I just found it striking in terms of the narrative in that article, which was basically the same as what most around here were complaining the O's lacked: clutch hitting, passing the baton, aggressive running, getting runners in from third, etc. I guess the real bottom line is "whatever works." Which of course varies from case to case. The old Bill James postseason wisdom was that HRs are the ticket, since you face good pitching and get so few hits. So back to you, Elias, keep crunching those numbers...

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      First, the had a jump in 23’ given how terrible they had been previously, which conditions many fans in the marketplace not to care. They simple weren’t relevant for years. So one very good regular season will not undue years of being bad/irrelevant and treating your customers terribly. Next, I think they missed an opportunity in the offseason by not doing enough by way of big/bold attention grabbing moves. Now I acknowledge that this was most likely due to the ownership flux/transition. I believe they got an attendance/marketplace engagement boost when they changed owners and when they traded for Burnes. However, I believe we would have seen more engagement attendance with say a big Gunnar extension and/or bringing in a big time FA.   IMO this would have created more buzz before the season (say around the time people make season tix decisions - IMO before Christmas is when some people make those bigger purchases). All of this is to say, that it will take time and effort on the organizations part because of how bad of a stain that the Angeloses left. I still have friends and colleagues who refuse to support the Orioles and attend games due to the damage that was done. Rubenstien & co are not going to be able to undo 30 years of awfulness overnight. But IMO it is not enough to simply call it “a new chapter”. They have to make new/different actions to distinguish themselves from who the Orioles were/used to be under the Angelos regime.

      Just checking in on Gameday, Yankees looking incredibly vulnerable.  Should be the Os out there.  Super lame.  Whichever team wins this series I hope gets knocked out by CLE or DET.

      If the franchise were better, the fan base would be too.  It’s been a rough 40 years.
