Adam misses his 4th straight game, his season ended last week I guess.

 

September sucked.   Let's have an undefeated October...

With Gausman on the mound we have a shot.

I think I already called this one last week.

They already lost games one and two now they crack open a laugher to end on a high note.

Hays with a big HR.

If the Ravens hadn't just had that quick TD drive I would have put the O's on the big TV and put the Ravens on the small one with no sound.

But now that the Ravens are still in the game, gotta keep them on the big TV.

At least I don't have to listen to Hunter and Bordick yet.

Watching on MASN2 but listening to Joe on WJZ.

Great play JJ!

Maybe the last time we ever get to say that.

[mrbig1]

Great play by JJ.

I like JJ. I do think this should be his last season with the O's though.  Retire as an Oriole JJ.

If Kavis played all year long the K record would be his.

Where is he in regards to the strike 3 looking list?

Davis in September (97 plate appearances): 38 Ks, 11 walks, 1 HBP. That means he made contact 47 times, for 14 hits (including 4 HR) and 8 RBIs. Raking for a .609 OPS. 

It will be interesting, if painful, to see whether he can get even worse over the life of his contract.

That isn't fair, I'm sure he fouled a few balls off during that period.

What isn't fair is the contract he's being paid in relation to his production.

Good point, newly designated President of the Don't-Knock-Chris-Davis Society.  Congratulations!
