Serious question.

You folks know I don't watch the local media.

Has anyone straight out asked Buck how long this can go on with Davis performing this way?  Really pressured him (or Dan for that matter) on the subject?

If not, how can they not?  It's a third of the way though the season, it's becoming a national story.

Cause they're softer than puppy $#%^.  (side note, can we just use the regular profanity filters or is that still a bannable offense?)

And check your DM, numbnuts.

I checked it a couple days ago, just didn't think a reply was needed.

You want one, I'll go wright you up one.  ?

No. They constantly allude to it. Gary, Joe, Jim. Roch teases in his columns. I've not heard anyone straight up say...when does he get benched or released. No. They haven't asked.

I've only heard the topic brought up by radio hosts on 105.7.  I can't recall someone outright asking Buck about if the Orioles are going to do anything about Davis.

Yeah. The talking heads aren't really media. They are more the entertainment by pain types.

The solution is simple. We have to send Davis to the minors. Maybe he can get his swing back down there. If he can't even hit minor league pitching, then we re-evaluate this clusterfark.

Not simple because we have no contractual ability to send him to the minors.

Are you saying that besides a fully guaranteed money contract, Davis cant be sent to the minors for rehab assignment?

Palmer is the one exception, but he pretty much as an exemption to say anything he wants.  Angel has taken a couple digs at Davis too.  

Gary has made multiple comments. "How much longer can they let this go on?"  etc...

Sucking at hitting a baseball is not a recognized medical condition.

No way to send Davis down without him agreeing to it.

Tillman agreed to pretend he was hurt (that is an assumption on my part).

    • I don't think it is really the past 5 games.  It is the next 4 months, potential playoffs, and all of next year that has people concerned.  Remember these elbows aren't just taking guys out this year, but most of next year as well. And Burnes probably won't be around next either. 
    • It is just a real shame that the Os are going through all of these elbows.  Take away all of the elbows going back to last year with Felix and I would say the Os are a lock to get to the WS and would have a great chance to win it all. I haven't seen this many injuries from a teams top guys in such a short amount of time in maybe.....forever. I am starting to wonder if it is something the Os are doing as far as their training.   Trying to obtain too much spin, revs, and velocity. I am a big Colts fan and for years we have complained about all of the knee blowouts and hammy injuries they get when playing at home.  Finally the Colts realized that it might be turf related from their home field and replaced it this past spring.    
    • I've been a fan for a long time too but mostly remember a lot of near misses, not tailspin collapses. 2005 comes to mind (Raffygate, Sammy Sosa, Lee Mazzilli, et al.)... what other seasons are you thinking of, to create scar tissue?
    • I really like Kremer.  Seems like a good guy and a solid arm. But he is not going to be the guy to get you into the playoffs and he especially won't be a guy between a make or break WS championship. 
    • We can hope he’s back to being his #5 self, but he’ll now be a #3, and let’s all x the fingers
    • The 5 game losing streak is a 5 game losing streak.  I am not too concerned about that unless it turns into something bigger. Every team goes through it.  What I am concerned about is losing 3 starters and 2 great relievers since last August with not a lot to replace them other than Burnes.  And they won't even back for most of next year...if at all. Add in the fact that Burnes is more than likely leaving after this year?  Our cupboard pitching wise is pretty bare as it looks right now. So imo you absolutely need to trade some of your AA and AAA players to get pitching help now and for next year.  This team is too good to waste years on players like GH and AR. 
    • Trading Drew Rom for Flaherty was not a big swing. It was trading a maybe prospect for a “hope he’s ok” guy with three months before FA. I am increasingly convinced Mike won’t make any bigger move this season, and what we have is basically what we will have.
