Chris Davis: I’ll be at Spring Training and I’m not going anywhere

Lol.. Chris Davis is the biggest narcist you will find. He's literally laughing at the Orioles for signing him and he knows they are "stuck with him". We can only hope that Elias is finally able to cut him next spring before opening day so we don't need to see him play another game as an Oriole. 

BTW, I'm glad he finally showed his true colors to the fans. I've known people for years that have said the same thing about him but he always said the right things in the press. 

Now he's like, "Yep, I suck, but you knew what you were getting and I'll be here no matter what!" 
 

I can at least appreciate Davis for being honest for once.

 

Stark contrast from the guy who said he wanted to retire if he didn’t improve. And that he felt bad about stealing from the team and it’s fans (I’m paraphrasing of course). I know cussing is against the rule but what a  Piece of Crap! 
 

Hey Chris! So there is no honor among thieves?

He's probably at a point where he's like, "Screw it, I might as well tell the truth now, the fans already boo me and my legacy will be as the guy who signed the worse contract in Orioles history and possibly may go down as the worse player ever to be given so many major league PAs at the end of their career." 

He'll always have that thick bank account though so he can wipe away his faux tears with hundred dollar bills!

While spewing hate to Chris, which one of you would give back one red cent if the situation were reversed.  I know I would not.  He made a legal deal and a deal takes two or more to make it legal and valid.  I believe he has tried to do his best,  but it is obvious his hand eye coordination left him at an earlier age than most players.  He did not know that would happen and the Orioles did not know it either.  Also,  each  party did not know  that the LEGAL substance he was taking  would suddenly be banned.  I have my own thoughts as to why it was banned after his  super seasons, but  it is kicking a dead horse to harp on it till the cows come home.

I've stated before that I would be more than happy to give 20% or so back if they would release me and I didn't have to show up for the last three years.

In my eyes that's a great deal.  Still get more money that you should ever need and can retire in your early 30's.  I'd much prefer that over actually having to show up and deal with all that travel.

    • Awesome research, thanks. I was a fan in 1974 but had forgotten that string of five shutouts.  This last two weeks of rotation excellence (and your list) is giving me flashbacks to the summer of love (1967), when I started to make game logs to savor the strings of shutouts and low-hit gems by Oriole starters. Looking back now at the game logs kept by Baseball-Reference (manually, without your sorting skills!), it's hard to identify exactly which streak so impressed my teenage fan-meter, or even which year. Certainly 1968 was all about low scoring league-wide.  Maybe it was the stretch 22-27 May 1967 featuring Phoebus, Bertaina, Barber, McNally, and Phoebus again (good old 4-man rotation!), including three scoreless outings. Or Hardin and Brabender joining Phoebus, McNally and Palmer from 15 to 20 September, 1967. What about 1969, with Cuellar, Lopez and Leonhard joining the previous cast of McNally, Phoebus, and Hardin, twirling 10 starts (13-22 June) while allowing only 12 runs.  Anyway, it feels rather historic to see this run of high-end pitching from an Orioles rotation. Here's a chart to recap the numbers on this streak in progress... Date Starter IP H ER ERA (14 G) totals: 81.67 59 19 2.09 21-Apr Irvin 6.2 4 0   22-Apr Suarez 5.2 4 0   23-Apr Rodriguez 4.1 11 7   24-Apr Kremer 5.1 3 2   26-Apr Burnes 6 3 1   27-Apr Irvin 7 4 0   28-Apr Suarez 4 7 4   29-Apr Rodriguez 5.2 5 0   30-Apr Kremer 7 4 2   1-May Burnes 6 4 2   2-May Bradish 4.2 4 1   3-May Irvin 6.1 2 0   4-May Means 7 3 0   5-May Kremer 6 1 0  
    • Somehow feels typical of Orioles to play up to the competition, and get burned by the pretenders... same with individual starting pitchers. 
    • It was very obvious ...he would also take a look at his hand frequently. On Saturday, watching a clip in the dugout after one of the HR's, Kremer went to give a high five, pulled back and took a look at his hand. I thought it strange, and I thought something was off. He always appeared to be one of the more enthusiastic celebrators. It would seem the coaches would notice and probably did, but thought nothing of it. Certainly didn't affect his game.
    • Umpire really tried to screw us on Saturday.     
    • I heard someone call it The Great American Smallpark.
    • I just looked thru their record a while ago.  Series against the Nats (2), White Sox, Marlins, Cardinals, Rockies and Angels makes their record of 1 win better than the O's way less impressive.  Their schedule coming up must be hell.
