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.

I felt myself almost rooting against him being good.  Don't get me wrong, I like Davis.  I think he seems like a good guy.  I hate seeing him struggle so much.

But...if him getting back on track in any way validate's Brady Anderson in any capacity...it's hard for me to get behind him hitting well again.

I feel bad admitting that, actually.

I’m putting zero stock in 2 decent games.    If he has a decent 10 game stretch, I’ll pay attention.   And yes, I hope that happens.   But I’m not counting on it.

Chris Davis has 2 strikeouts on Saturday, his streak now stand at 23 games. 14 games left to tie Aaron Judge's 37 straight games with strikeout.

Here's where as an observer I'd love to know how deep the game goes.  I'm not sure if it is paranoia, or smart game theory, but there's a part of me that feels like the league knows CD can't play anymore, the 2018 Orioles are toast, and for AL East teams, it's to their medium term benefit to make it look like he's back.

I had this same feeling a bit in his scorching September 2015 when the Orioles were out of the race, and there was a lot of compiling in meaningless games.  If it was a stratagem, it's worked out brilliantly for the Orioles competition as a whole.

Well what  I worry about CD getting better then Mr. Angelos believes the O's can make the Wildcard.

We are 20 games back in June and have close to the worst record in baseball.  No one in the world thinks we can make the WC, Angelos included.

Nobody is going to think that.   The math is too ridiculous.   To reach .500 we’d have to play .667 baseball the rest of the season.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      By RZNJ · Posted

      This is a direct quote I copy and pasted from your first post in that thread.   And you’re saying you never said this?  “But I sense we are starting to fade”?   “And that team still didn't win anything.  The playoffs are a different animal.  Right now we are a good team playing above our water line.  But I sense we are starting to fade and again....that is ok.  It is great experience for the coming years. “

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      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.
