As long as ownership is rational.

The Brothers haven't given me any cause for concern...yet.  I still don't trust the reports that the old man is truly removed from things, even though I'd like that to be true.

That said, this new regime, Elias, Sig, the Brothers, seem to be going well so far.  No significant missteps yet.

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

So THATS what it means. I thought it stood for Oh, F- the F-ing New york Yankees.

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

I don't think they would be justified at all.

They would be meddeling, just like their father did.

You hired the guy let him do his job.

I hear you. I think it's not as black and white as that, is all. It would be unprecedented, as I've said before and you're sick of hearing from me, I'm sure. No team in baseball has ever cut a player this early with that much money. It's never happened. The O's could be the first, but I don't see it happening for at least a year and a half.

Teams have cut players owed a LOT of money before, this would just be more.  Not as if it isn't justified.  Keeping him around solely because of his contract is insipid.

Do you think the Red Sox wouldn't cut him?

Not to mention, yes, Peter Angelos is still listed as the top guy. He's not dead, he's very much around, even though his impact is far less than it was. The sons have basically all the power, but we don't really know if it's 100% at this point. Davis was Angelos' prize signing that he fought for. You don't think the sons "suggest" to Elias that he exhaust all options with Davis first? I don't think that makes the sons terrible owners. It just is what it is.

I do think they would cut him, probably by July of this season. They can afford to. The O's can too, but for the Sox it's literally nothing.

@Can_of_corn Bottom line: I hope you're right, but I disagree with your conclusions if Davis is not cut in 1 year. 

Talk to me after I've suffered through another season of Davis though. 

Last year was all the suffering I could take.  I mean, not that I have a choice in the matter, but seriously.  They're better off without him on a few different levels.

Maybe he should try batting right-handed.  Just sayin.

So many people mentioned this last year that I started over-thinking about it (as I always do), enough to where I thought it would actually work. He goes up a game or two in a row and bats righty - struggles goes 0-8. Then the next day goes back to lefty and its like oh man this is easy! Boom, out of a rut ?  It's just crazy enough to work.

He is still alive. He is listed as control for MLB. They are asking for a new control person named. MLB.

      Cedric en fuego!!

      By Hallas · Posted

      In terms of energy?   e = 1/2 mv^2 football: 60 mph -> 26.8 m/s, 14.5 oz = .411 kg.  1/2 * (26.8^2) * .411 = 147.5 joules. baseball: 102 mph -> 45.59 m/s, 5 oz = .142 kg.  1/2 * (45.59^2) * .142 = 147.5 joules.   I don't think they're 100% equivalent - I think the higher raw speed on the arm of a 102 mph pitch introduces more stress on the arm than a 60 mph football throw.  But they're not that far off.

      There is no chance that over 60 mph for a QB is the equivalent of 102.  QBs do not train for velocity like pitchers do.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By 25 Nuggets · Posted

      I would prefer they ask for Jon Gray in spite of the Orioles destroying him in his last start - he wouldn't have to face the Orioles lineup again.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      He makes $43 million this year. The Mets are paying $21 million of that. I don’t think we pick up the remaining $10+ post deadline for 10-12 starts. It would just depend on what Texas would ask for to pick up the tab.

      Luis Robert

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Haynie on 105.7, has been beating the Luis Robert drum for months on the O’s pre game show. So I think that’s why people like the idea of Robert. Robert also is always hurt.  We need a bat. Probably a RH bat to DH in the playoffs versus a LH SP. That bat is Mayo. It’s just hard to get Mayo up before September when we get the extra roster spot.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.

      This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.
