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 cu

I really don’t care much what he says, or what he does in the offseason, either.    He’s done as a productive major league player.    That’s all that really matters.    If these were normal times, I’d

LaRoche did it for his family and that's very respectful. Gil Meche though is the guy I respect because he walked away because he rather respect himself then collect money he could not earn. http

Seriously, I would much rather have all of those regular 1B/DH/COF ABs go to Mancini, Mountcastle, Santander, and Stewart, and the backup ABs go to Mullins, Shaw, and whoever else ends up in the mix, since some of those guys might actually be a part of this team's future, unlike Mr. Literally Can't Hit His Weight.

I sorta felt bad for him until Jim Palmer revealed Davis’ talk about putting in extra work in the off-season was just talk. 

Oh wow, I somehow missed that one. What a wanker.

And to think, I used to be pretty bummed that one of my ex-gf's ended up with my Chris Davis giveaway bobblehead because it was at her place when the (fairly messy) breakup occurred. No big loss, on either count lol.

Epic Palmer rant from 2018 and I found the clip. It's worth 2 minutes to watch.

He’s almost daring the team to cut him.

Part of me wants them to keep him and never give him an at bat and just “bash” him in public. He still ultimately wins because he gets paid but just continue to hurt his pride.

Play him on the road in every spring training game and then never let him off the bench once the regular season starts.  Just act like he isn't there.

I was just going to post this.  Feels like a dare.

Yep and when they ask, why isn’t he playing...you simply say because he’s not good enough to play.

      Elias: It's on me

      What is unsettling to me is in how much better a position the team appeared to be in last year at this (approximate) time.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      I love the Orioles but after the last three decades it is no longer unconditional love anymore from me.  The Orioles are going to have to put out once in a while to keep my interest.  They got to let us go all the way once in a while.

      Elias: It's on me

      By foxfield · Posted

      The Baltimore Orioles are still one of the best teams in all of baseball.  They still have an awful lot going for them.  Unfortunately, the while the distance between World Series winner and close but no cigar is not that much in the overall win column during the season, the things they need to go right, and the things they need to do to improve are still pretty massive. Compounding this is the fact that they can do everything necessary and it is still possible it won't work.  I don't say that as an excuse.  Elias is going to be measured by playoff appearances and the success that brings.  He has been engineer of two playoff teams and a near miss.  He still has as many wins with his near miss and his rebuilding teams in the playoffs as his two playoff teams.  It is certainly fine to criticize that. Of course he says it is on him.  One because it is, and two because any good GM would do the same.  But the Orioles are no longer building towards being good.  They are good and no one is going to give them anything.  There is work to be done to make this team better positioned to compete in the post season.   And the Angelos family is no longer a hinderance. I am as disappointed as everyone else and in general I am a root for the uniform not the player guy.  These guys have been fun to root for, but the second half and this playoff run was tough to stomach.  I hope that to give this team the chance to compete, they add a #1 TOR pitcher and another playoff caliber starter before the season starts.  I also hope they add a playoff experienced RH bat.  Trade, sign, whatever.  The window is open.  Whatcha gonna do?

      I doubt any GM has ever done that.  Maybe he can be the first, he could hold a big press conference and everything.  Go Elias, go!

      Elias is also a known liar.  So take what he says with a grain of salt.
