Isn’t Pujols easy? I would believe the Angels are forced to pay his (ridiculous) guaranteed salary, and so the Dodgers get him for next to nothing, hoping he still has something to prove. Or do I have that wrong? 

He could be an okay acquisition if you want to sell tickets to a guaranteed HOFer in his final year or so. But that’s about it. He already has a World Series ring, and he was an incredible player in his prime, but I don’t know what more he has to prove unless someone plays against the Angels in the postseason. 

He did just get a sloppy pinch hit for the Dodgers. Guy is older than he claims and a ped user for his entire career, I will not call him an incredible player/HOFer until they let Bonds in.

Not knowing exactly what the injury was that led to him being on the 60 day IL, I was certainly concerned that at some point he would be declared healthy and, legally, the Orioles would be required to

Well, the people who intimated that Davis or the Orioles were inventing an injury to give them an excuse to keep him off the roster should apologize.   I hope they do cut him next year, but there was

Do you really have zero WAR if all the components including games played are zero?  Shouldn't it be (blank) or undefined? You're not better or worse than anything if you don't participate.

I know, funny, ha ha, Chris Davis is bad.  But you could also make the same joke about Jennifer Aniston having the same WAR in 1973 as Willie Mays.

I'd rather look at Jennifer Aniston than Willie Mays or Chris Davis.  I'm not sure what your point is here.

My father had to get his roof and siding replaced from a freak hail storm. The insurance company was holding off payment of the claim saying it was fraud.

Every house around him was having it’s roof replaced and the insurance company was still playing hardball. They caved after the roofer talked to his insurance agent. 

Geez... how the phat did the claims adjuster come up with the idea of fraud for a hailstorm? Did he think you father smacked his house repeatedly with a metal rod?

You are joking, right? My buddy is a shoulder surgeon and he sees people all of the time that want a second opinion and his is not to go through the surgery the other surgeon wanted them to do and do rehab. Surgeons get paid for surgery, not rehab. Then again the average person is too lazy and just wants a quick fix. 
my first thought with this surgery is that he is getting some stuff cleaned up in there for future quality of life and if he was actually a productive player any more and not just collecting a pay check, he would be on the field an take care of the clean up stuff in the off season or when he retires. Don’t get me wrong, I think he is a good guy and deserves every penny of the contract because it isn’t his fault baseball has guaranteed contracts or the Os made a bad decision. Nothing is more infuriating to me than football players who hold out for a new contract or nfl teams can just cut someone. A contract should be a contract for better or worse. 

I said "briefly crossed...", I do not really believe they "faked" an actual surgery or had one needlessly preformed.   Just more of wow, isn't that conveniently perfect for the O's. 

I don't fault Davis either for the contract, but I also do not want to see him playing for the O's anymore, especially now at the expense of a much needed roster spot for the youngsters.   I hope they fixed whatever was wrong and he does have a good quality of life after his career.

Interesting dichotomy between your Davis take and your Pujols take. I for one don't think Davis is a good guy at all. I think he cheated to get his contract, signed it under false pretenses as it relates to future expectations and then didn't do whatever he was doing to live up to it. He's a fraud who stole money and got away with it because the O's were in on the game and took a gamble on a shyster.

Pujols may also be a fraud. I've thought he was on PEDs his whole career, but is there any real evidence of that or some kind of lying about age?

Cutting Pujols doesn't cost money at this point for the Dodgers.  But if they do it at some point, it won't be "quiet."  It will draw press attention, and possibly some negative attention as it did for the Angels.

      AL playoff picture

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      Hopefully it will be like giving a blood transfusion to a sickly patient. Yes some players haven't played as well this season, but it's mainly the injuries that have taken it's toll. The lineup gets much better if Westburg, Urias and Mountcastle are back. No longer does Eloy have to play and Holliday can be platooned. Plus O'Hearn will absolutely not see at bats against LHP like he has been recently at times. Webb and Coulombe provide depth to make the bullpen postseason viable. And Coulombe can close games instead of Dominguez assuming he's back all the way.

      Gunnar stands to improve on: fielding and stolen bases. I also think he’ll have a 1.000OPS season or two before he’s done.

      Maybe they were going by Tony's reaction, not realizing that with the winning run on third there wasn't any point in running.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By OrioleintheATL · Posted

      looks like some of y'all are gonna be pissed when we win 2 of 3 against Detroit, at least one in NY and 2 o 3 against Minn.  I'd be embarassed if I were some of you....projecting the apathy and misery in your own little lives onto our O's.  This is a F upped sport and a team with talent like this can turn on a dime and start winning consistently at any time.  This isn't over.  I you're mad that your life hasn't worked out well......please don't bring the rest of us down.

      9/19: No Sweep For You

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      I commented  in another thread that as bad as the Orioles have been and they have been bad the one thing I will say about them is they are avoiding sweeps for the most part. They are losing series left and right but they aren't getting swept.

      Os vs NL

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Friedman and Dombrowski set a high bar, and the Astros are post peak.    Atlanta probably doesn't want to hear much about the Orioles misfortune. The Orioles level of play has been in the toilet half a season but I still think the good version of themselves is the AL's best positioned team to outplay the NL's best even this year.     We'll see if Soto and Judge are more than a 1-year thing, but even so that club has vulnerabilities.

      I agree it's unlikely but not completely far fetched. I don't think he is a lock to get more than $20M in AAV, so he could decide to take it and then hit FA if he has a good or even better year. His talent level is in a similar range as the players who have accepted: Joc Pederson, Jose Abreu, Wieters etc.
