Why did Davis go after Hyde? He was not happy.

CoC just quoted himself, ladies and gentlemen.  

Are they arguing yet?

The Boss: " Hope employee A performs much better."

Middle Manager: "What if he doesn't? And what about the employee break room lunches he's been stealing?"

The Boss: "This is not the time to deal with that. We have a forced layoff coming and we will take the lunch room video with us to the meeting regarding him with ownership"

Middle Manager: "Well, I'm not packing until after that. I'm going out to the lunch buffets."

I've done that myself. Proudly.

I think that he is being honest. That this team is not a good team. That losing is a part of it, but that effort will not be ignored. 

I'm not convinced the effort is the problem here.

Is it considered "threading?" Or just poor form?

Don't care.  It was a related point I was making.

You don't NEARLY take yourself as seriously.

I'm convinced that he is unable to put forth the effort necessary to make his 33 year old body perform better without the aid of PEDs and full time workouts pre family guy.

He doesn't either. It's the schtick.

I know it's part of the job but man I hate getting lied to.

Just colors everything I hear from that person in the future.

Ooooff...ooooooofffff!!!! someone just walked past me with a 34/32 Easton, ball tapped me and I'm doubled over in pain.

Read that last sentence.  And then read it again.  And while you're at it, read it a third time.  

We're in it for the long haul, ladies and germs.  

This entire quote tells me that Elias is saying that he doesn't have the ability cut Chris Davis. That means this is an ownership thing and it's beginning to be the first black mark on the ownership of the sons.

We all know that Elias and Hyde know that Chris Davis doesn't belong on this team. It's ashamed that ownership won't let him make the right move for the organization.

I was talking more about the pitching comments than I was about Davis. 

RE: Davis. I have no idea what his problem is. I'm not going down the PED route without ample evidence, unless you're talking about his ADHD medicine.

[interloper]

What else is he supposed to say, even if he already plans to cut him in the offseason? I agree he's probably not getting cut but I'm just saying.

Show me any evidence that Davis "has a lot of talent".  Compared of course to actual ML ballplayers.

He had that talent. He may no longer. I'd assume he could not get back to the former level of performance were he to use the PEDs again and go back to being a workout warrior.

While not an incorrect term schtick to me has a connotation of inauthenticity.
