5 walks so far (the 4th inning) for Davies.

Perhaps more interestingly, I think the Pirates are going to win the NL Central.

It was just a procedural move to allow him to spend a couple extra days with his newborn: https://dodgersnation.com/dodgers-news-evan-phillips-expected-to-rejoin-team-in-pittsburgh-today/2023/04/25/

(vs. METS, 9/11)

Markakis hit his 35th double of the season tonight.

35 doubles, a .372 OBP, and the Braves still have 20 games left to be played.

Pretty good for a lead-off hitter.

Nick hit his 36th double of the season tonight in a 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Markakis continues his march towards a 1.8-2 WAR season. Riveting stuff.

Sometimes, it's about whether a guy's skill set and character meet the needs of a particular team. I can't say that Nick is anything more than an average corner OF overall. I just think this team could have used the things he does well.

That said, our season has been about the starting pitching more than anything else.

Does that reset his HOF clock? It's not impossible that some sanity will have been injected into the process in another five years.

No. Rickey played in the Atlantic league for many season. It did not reset Rickey. Rickey would not have done that. Because that's not what Rickey do.

Contrary to speculation, Henderson's refusal to officially retire had not been delaying his eligibility for Hall of Fame induction. Since the 1970s, the five-year waiting period has been based on major league service only. Henderson was elected as part of the 2009 Hall of Fame vote, in his first appearance on the ballot. At a press conference two days after his election, the 50-year-old Henderson told reporters, "I believe today, and people say I’m crazy, but if you gave me as many at-bats that you would give the runners out there today, I would outsteal every last one of them... they can always ring my phone and I'll come on down and help their ballclub, that's how much I love the game."

"One day? I don't want one day. I want to play again, man. I don't want nobody's spot... I just want to see if I deserve to be out there. If I don't, just get rid of me, release me. And if I belong, you don't have to pay me but the minimum — and I'll donate every penny of that to some charity. So, how's that hurtin' anybody?... Don't say goodbye for me... When I want that one day they want to give me so bad, I'll let you know.

Rickey.

A Padres teammate (variously reported as Steve Finley or Tony Gwynn) once offered him a seat anywhere on the bus, saying that Henderson had tenure. Henderson supposedly replied, "Ten years? What are you talking about? Rickey got 16, 17 years."

Rickey do.

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      After going back and reading the draft day thread on Holliday,  I don't know if I would have the stomach to trade either one of those 3. I had the opportunity to watch Elijah Green this past week play in low A, and it reminded me of how fortunate it is to be an O's fan right now.

      320M and they need a pitcher.  I think they wasted a dime somewhere.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By drjohnnyfever1 · Posted

      But don't we need to get rid of the previous dogma - we need to spend when we're good to win?  It has nothing to do with Angelos or anything else along those lines.  If anything, my question is - knowing how good we are now, and having proven it, how can we maintain the guys that are still in the audition phase of the ascension to the bigs, without paying too high get some help now.  It's not like they're failing. I just think Elias might be thinking stop gap, not the main aisle deals.  I'm fine with that, but it seems like many just want him to give stuff away to get something big right now, and I don't think I agree with that - and I kind of hope Elias doesn't either, to be honest. Rubes will spend money, but after Angelos, it still won't be enough for some.  He doesn't need to prove he will by signing off on the trade of a top player/prospect.  I would be completely satisfied with an announcement that they had reached a long term agreement with Adley or Gunnar right now.  But I'm not waiting for Rubes to prove himself and trust that all I've seen from him so far is that he will differentiate himself from the previous ownership in a meaningful and real way - like he already has, in some ways, when his and the team's time is right.

      It would be Basallo for me, but the upside is so massive that voting for him makes me cringe. It's pretty simple: Don't. Trade. Any. Of. Them.

      I think the Tigers would run to the phone to call the commissioners office if they could get Holliday for Skubal

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      I'm sure Dodger fans aren't like that.  I expect they're like Yankee fans and would like to buy/trade for all the best players.  Dodgers are actually way scarier to compete against than the Yankees they are probably the wealthiest team in the majors and run like a small market franchise in that they are trying to exploit market inefficiencies and never waste a dime.

      How much faith do you have in Elias to address the needs this month?

      By Since1984 · Posted

      I disagree with all possible votes, it is slanted. The O’s are stacked and it’s likely they add a piece or two. If this was the Dodgers, we would be hailing the off-season moves and pushing for the next big move. And the Orioles keep winning, better!
