I kinda wish there was a way to program my TV to flip to a different channel when the Orioles are in the field.  I don't want to watch the pitching.  And then it automatically turns back to the game when they're up to hit.

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.

Why?  They won’t compete for three years. When they do Davis will not be in the org. 

I will bet you any amount of money that Davis is not on the roster for four years if he continues to be as bad as last season.  If he continues to be bad, and stays on the roster....then without question, the Orioles rebuild will still be inching along when Davis' playing contract ends.

Baring a miraculous turnaround, I don’t see Davis making it through 2019 on the active roster.

I'm just curious as to what the tipping point will be for them to keep him on the roster.  Will any kind of improvement buy him some more time?  

If he's as bad as last year, I don't see him making it through 2019, either.

Unless ownership forces the issue.

Davis might be the first point of contention between Elias and ownership.  

I think three years in a row of being beyond terrible will be enough for the Angelos sons to follow whatever Elias's recommendation is.  I'm not expecting any kind of significant improvements, but if they do happen then yea I think that buys him some time.  

It's already a sunk cast. At some point, they can't afford to keep carrying him (even if he's sitting on the bench) at the expense of a player who could help us in the future getting some experience.  The FO and ownership has to understand that.

I agree.  I hope for that, at least.  I was just more wondering like...if he's hitting .180 with a few bombs, is that enough?  

I believe FO understands the situation you outlined.  The brothers haven't done anything to make me think they're dunces, yet.  Hopefully they aren't afraid to make a change.

Just curious what that's based on.  Not trying to be a smartass (for once, i know).

I think Long is already having an impact.   Davis couldn't hit or bunt to the left side last season.  He has already roped two singles to left.  His swing might be a little more level this season.  There is not really enough data to know yet.   I think this is Long influence though.   He appears to be a well respected hitting coach.  I liked what he said at Fanfest.

      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.
