Shut up Chris.  Just go away.  Nobody wants to hear anymore from you.

There were two options. Chris Davis doesn't talk to his manager, just goes about his business and doesn't address the media or the fans. Or, he has an honest sit down with his manager and puts a presser out there to address the media, fans (and to an extent - ownership).

It's a damned if he does, damned if he doesn't scenario, it seems. I'm just happy he stepped up. It would have been easy for him not to.

Davis and Hyde went camping yesterday.Toasted marshmallows and sang  Kumbaya. It was beautiful. And a reminder from Bordick and Hunter,the Orioles have thr hardest working players and coaches.They actually work on things before the game.Other teams dont do this concept called coaching and teaching before a game.Never saw a team where they all buy into it and they all pull for each other.

He has a great deal of union protection that affords him that luxury. Not just his wealth. 

And apparently it also comes with a real lack of humility. Chris Davis is like that guy from high school who graduated three years ago, but still hangs out in the parking lot and thinks he's hot sh*t. Class of 2016...his last somewhat productive season.

I don't analyze the character of the players from afar.   Just because somebody flips a bat after a homerun doesn't make them a bad guy for instance.

But I'm at the point where Davis' behavior is indefensible imo.

If he wants to really "step up" and respect himself, the game, and the organization, he'd retire immediately.

You just get better and better.  Obviously, you have know idea who I am, my level of education, my age, or level of achievement in my profession or life.  But, you're too damn funny for me to put on ignore.

I have no clue what your argument is.  You brought up some nonsense about deplorables.  Obviously you are on some sort of political rant.  I don’t know what it has to do with anything I posted.  College athletes have to get a minimum SAT score to play in division 1.  Much lower than is traditionally needed to attend the universities they are trying to attend.  We are talking 600 SAT score.  The vast majority of people not attending college would be able to manage that.  

And that caused you to go on some totally tangent unrelated to my post.  I didn’t say anything negative about anyone who didn’t attend college.

It's not on Davis, it's on the team. I can't fault Davis for cashing those checks. It's on whoever negotiated/ordered the contract. Angelos, Sr, Buck, Brady...we'll never know.

I DEMAND that Chris Davis release his SAT scores!!!!

Lol, I'm not sure if you realize it, but you keep digging a deeper and deeper hole each time you respond.

I get that.

But he's already cashed over 100 million dollars of those checks.

If he respected himself and the game, he could manage to forgo the rest.

Retire and get paid the contract that he earned and deserved? Sure.

I tried to explain this to him yesterday but I guess it was too difficult a concept.

A baseball player that goes to a four year university has to spend between two and three years in college before he is eligible for the draft (depending on age).  A baseball player that enrolls in a CC can enter the draft one year out of HS.

So a baseball player that thinks he has a future in professional baseball might just be trying to reenter the draft earlier.

Sorry about replying to you instead of him but I didn't feel like hunting for his post.

I also mentioned that Davis was drafted in the fifth round after 2 years.  He could have transferred to a 4 year college at that point to improve his draft selection.

      Wild card series roll call

      I doubt that.  Looks like tickets are going below face value unless you’re a birdland member.

      Baker optioned, Davidson called up

      By OsFanInOhio · Posted

      Article from when we signed him last November said he was out of options. Wonder if povich makes the playoff roster or someone like him makes sense to option down.    im a bit surprised he didn’t get called up sooner too other than the lack of options to send him back down after. But if we were going to just call him up for one bulk relief outing then release him, we could’ve done it for more meaningful games.    he is only just reaching arbitration, so he’d have to stick on the roster next year unless they can pass him through waivers anyway, but you’d at least like to give him a spring training opportunity to make the bullpen.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By cnmilton · Posted

      If Cowser does not receive the Rookie of the year, the Orioles will not pick up any draft pick if he finishes 2nd or 3rd. The owners and players did not institute an international draft, which is where the international draft picks would have come into play for 2nd and 3rd place finishers in the Rookie of the Year.

      Looks like the Detroit Tigers

      By Beysbol · Posted

      Detroit is one of those teams that got hot at the right time. I think they have won 6 in a row and were 9-1 in their last 10. I checked yesterday I think, but getting hot at the right time is huge for the Tigers. I think Texas last season got hot at the right time and they were like a freaking buzz saw.    I picked Baltimore to be a wild card before the season started, but had them going farther in the playoffs. I hope these guys can get it done. 🕊️

      With either team as the opponent, the key is going to be us.  At full strength, our lineup is just flat out better than either KC’s or DET’s. Not by a little. By a lot. Witt is unreal, and Perez, Greene, and Carpenter are all really good. But behind those guys, it’s a bunch of mostly light hitters that have had their hot streaks (with DET’s being mostly ongoing) that don’t really compare to the depth in our lineup. If our pitching mostly holds up, we’ll win as long as our hitters do what they can do. Both of those are giant question marks, obviously, and the season will hang on the answer our guys provide. But you really can’t ask for much more than an opportunity to go into a series saying we think we’re better on paper than them and we just need to perform — that certainly didn’t feel like the case last year, with the way the Rangers hit up and down the lineup all season.
