o

I have been on record since late July that I am hoping that Davis will be an Oriole in 2016:

(JULY 25th)

o

The Orioles.

(AUGUST 1st)

I'm glad that he's still here.

(AUGUST 5th)

Now, I'm REALLY GLAD that he is still here.

(AUGUST 15th)

Now, I'm REALLY, REALLY, REALLY glad that he is still here.

And I hope that we find a way to keep him here.

(SEPTEMBER 3rd)

Roy Firestone said that we HAVE TO sign Davis.

So, let's do it.

The fact that he's a good defensive 1st baseman makes it imperative, in my rat's ass of an opinion.

(SEPTEMBER 4th)

Pretty please, with carob-coated rice cakes on top ??? ):pray:

He's going to NYC. Because ... Murica' (And that's where all my Orioles go for some reason.)

Ken Singleton ran the gamut.

He grew up in Mount Vernon (just outside of the Bronx), where he was a New York baseball Giants fan. His daddy was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan.

Then he was drafted by and played for the New York Mets.

Then he went to the Montreal Expos (now the Washington Nationals) in the Rusty Staub trade.

Then he went to the Baltimore Orioles along with Mike Torrez in a trade for Dave McNally and Rich Coggins for the remainder of his playing career.

Then he went to the New York Yankees as a sports commentator.

In between, he still lives in Cockeysville, MD and is married to a woman with roots in Baltimore's Little Italy.

    • I have to laugh at some of my pre-draft thoughts as well as others. I will say on behalf of myself and some others is that what we did not understand then was what the Orioles brain trust knew to be their model, and what they best developed. What traits they were looking for is an important thing to know, in hindsight anyway. And really, the Jackson Holliday leap in development was not something most of us heard anything about until about a month before the draft. I saw him the previous summer and I cannot say he was all that impressive, but it was only one look. His physicality took a big jump after that.  I will also add that we’re never going to know what would have happened if they drafted Austin Martin, Jones, Lawler, Lacy, etc. Their development could well have been different as O’s. The funny part of this board, in general, is the absolute certainty some have in their opinions and how eager they are to trash Elias and staff. There is plenty of humility to go around, now that things have played out. It’s fun to finally have a truly great front office and ownership group, and a stacked stable of horses. 
    • How did the moustache work for Austin Hays?
    • Thanks for the kind words @HbgOsFan and thanks especially for reading them.
    • I just think it’s too soon to think about sending him down.  Two more weeks like this?  It definitely would be time.  But I’ll bet we don’t see two more weeks like this.  
    • Heston hit an absolute bomb tonight. A couple of other hard hit balls from other guys that didn’t pay off. Norby threw a ball into the stands on a relay home.  Stowers lollygagged (that’s right lollygaggers!) a ground ball into shallow left center into a double for the Shrimp. That runner scored on a single to right.  Defense last night was half assed as well. Daniel Johnson had the best defensive play of the game tonight - hosed a guy at third on a fly ball to right.    Victor Mesa Jr. is legit.
