Speaking of track records, Buck’s says he only played Davis in 14 games last September.    So, there’s no reason to think Davis would have played every day this September if Buck was here.     Trumbo was injured last September, so no track record there.    

Those 14 games were 14 of the first 19 the Orioles played in September and involved Davis starting and getting 56 plate appearances. It wasn't until he went 1 for 37 that Buck finally benched him. Mancini moved to first, Beckham became the DH, and players like Andreoli, Stewart, Mullins, Valera, and Peterson got auditions.

I think Buck was trying to throw him out there in the hopes he would get off the schneid for a hot streak and end the season on a high note.  I’m not convinced that he would do the same now that Davis has shown 2 full seasons of sucking.

I agree. But I believe Trumbo would be playing much more.

I predicted 20-30 PAs at most for Davis in September and it looks like he won't get even that.

Under Buck, I think Trumbo would have played more this month, with platitudes about him in the post-game pressers.

He likes the way they grind it out,

Yes, Buck stuck with his veterans, but he was 100% sure he was not coming back last year. think it would be a different approach if he was at the start of his run as Orioles manager. 

He wouldn’t have emotional ties to the player. I don’t think it was just because they were veterans more of they helped me in the past.

Only insofar as it seems like Elias is definitely laying the ground work to end this situation. I would expect nothing else with a contract that large. Heck, if the article said John Angelos was sitting down with Davis, that wouldn't even surprise me. 

They're marginalizing his role. His time is coming and they're trying to handle it delicately. 

Let's hope this is the case.  His presence on the team is an embarrassment to both himself and the team; and a constant reminder to ownership of an extremely bad decision.  Not something you want lingering on a rebuilding team.

 If he started today he would have no emotional ties to Trumbo and Davis so he would not play them.  It wasnt because they were veterans that he played them.  I am not sure what your reply is for.

The whole incident lasted for maybe 30 seconds.

Yet, how many weeks later, are still dissecting it apart bit by bit ???

I also think that the incident is being excessively dragged out and being made more out of it than it needs to be, but not necessarily because of the length of it (not more than 30 seconds) ........ taken to an extreme, if either Davis or Hyde had pulled out a gun and shot the other, that would have taken even less than 30 seconds, and it would still be being talked about (and obviously, rightly so.)

If you think Buck didn’t give preferential treatment to vets despite their poor performance during his tenure then you weren’t paying attention.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
