I mean.. he's good at what he does... he mashes left handed pitching.  He's not good as in an all-star caliber player or even a regular starter.  But for what he is, he is good.

...and we've played Valencia almost as much against rights (47 ABs) as we have against lefties (57 ABs). Nice work Buck. 

For the record, Valencia is only hitting .263 with 3 HRs and 5 RBIs against lefties this season. I'd hardly call that "mashing".  He's really just #notgood.

It doesn't have me bummed.   I don't know about any of you guys but I've learned a lot about myself in regards to the whole Davis situation.  I've been pretty harsh on here, maybe a little too ha

That was a nice hit and base running by Davis tonight.

We just have to continue to grind.

You know what, if I hear this Buck'ism ONE MORE TIME I MAY PUKE.

it's old, and worn out, just like the entire team plays...

I got some news for ya Mr Davis the guy who's turning in one of the WORST seasons in MLB history is NOT THE CORE OR GUTS OF THIS TEAM.

PUT UP OR SHUT UP...

 

I grind my teeth every time I watch them play so there's that.

So how many baseball seasons are you willing to cancel to get the players union to agree to that enormous concession?

Seems like it would be easier just NOT TO OFFER 7 YEAR CONTRACTS TO 30+ YEAR OLD PLAYERS.   That solves the whole problem without cancelling the World Series two years in a row.

Exactly! Blaming Davis for his lack of work ethic  / willingness to make adjustments is one thing, but blaming him for his contract is another. It's solely on Angelos, Buck, and Brady's hands. They're supposed to be the experts responsible for gauging the marketing, evaluating talent, etc. They are also #notgood.

His .OPS is .810 this year.  #actuallypretygood

In my humble opinion, Davis has completely lost it. Not only at the plate and but also in his line of thinking.

Davis, you're hitting .156, your OPS is .483 and you've scored 9 runs on the season. What in the world are you talking about who the real players are and the guts of the team for.

Nothing is wrong and there is a actual game plan? Is it for the entire team to swing at anything that leaves the pitcher's hand and for you to continue to strike out looking on fastballs right down the middle of the plate?

Look, I have nothing wrong with encouraging teammates and trying to be positive etc but if I'm your teammate and you're the highest paid player on the team hitting in the .150's constantly not lifting the bat off your shoulder, I don't think there is much advice I would take from someone performing at a way below replacement player level.

Used to be he struck out a lot and hit home runs.   Now he just strikes out a lot.

If I'm your teammate, I talk to you about after baseball plans.  And VERY secure investments.

If you read the quote from Davis one thing stands out. He called the lineup "one dimensional" and he's right. Even he sees it.  I've been saying for years this concept of a beer league softball team with nothing but sluggers wasn't the way to go long term. What amazes me is that the front office apparently still thinks it is.

Chris is not participating in that one-dimensional lineup. His contributions to the team this year have been non-dimensional.

Personally, if the Orioles are going into the gutter for another decade, I could care less if baseball seasons are canceled. 

And I actually stated earlier, that I blamed the Orioles and not Davis.

I think this alone is an HHP.

Never blamed Davis. In an earlier post, I named the exact trio at fault for the Davis contract. He can laugh all the way to the bank for all I care.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      You would think the Rays are going to have a selloff if they aren't playoff team at the deadline.  They stretched their budget this year, and are not going to lose money to miss the playoffs by 2 games.

      Trading HK and Norby is leftovers but 4 non-top 100 prospects gets Gausman.  Every market is different, but sounds like your just circling wagons around a cliche.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      I think you’re having trouble getting an answer because you’re making a comparison that isn’t particularly apt. Grayson is 24 years old. Shōta turns 31 in a couple months, and he’s got 1200+ professional innings on his arm (on top of a full college career). You also have two years of pre-arb left with Grayson, followed by three years of arbitration. Something like 5/$35M. Assuming Shōta’s 2025 option gets exercised (which should be the hope, because it would mean he’s been healthy and pitching like the “ace” that you’re calling him), you’re looking at something in the realm of 4/$70M. So one fewer year at twice the cost. They're not particularly comparable. You’re talking about a kid who has yet to even enter his prime and a veteran who is starting to approach the end of his. The respective returns for the two would presumably be pretty different — and that’s without even addressing the issue that you’d very likely be buying Shōta at the absolute peak of his value right now.

      I actual prefer a one o’clock game Sunday. We get the extra rest. The Yankees will be playing and then hopping in their beds around 2 AM.

      What about the Rays? I know it’s hard to trade in division. They need offense and you could kill 2 birds with one stone. Zach Efflin and Jason Adam would solve both starter and bullpen issues. Rays may be extra incentivized to get rid of Efflin contract.

      Let’s be clear. He’s pitching like an ace THIS YEAR. this is his first year in mlb and he was considered a back end starter when he was signed.  No one rational would say a 2.5 month performance in your first year in MLB requires the number one prospect in baseball PLUS MORE! Respectfully it’s lunacy.

      I’m not saying we can’t trade for Scott. Or that we shouldn’t trade for someone. More that we basically already have one reliever we don’t have to trade for. But a guy who will likely have a relatively high whip due to command issues but have a well above average k rate… I also just don’t love rentals in general. Hit or miss as to whether they perform well anyway (hey jack flaherty) and then it’s gone. If you don’t win that year it’s all for nothing. For the right cost I’m okay with it, but I don’t want to give up a major prospect for a rental unless it’s the piece that puts us over the top
