No they didnt. After 2012 he had his best yr. We had seen he was streaky to that point and 2012 was the aberration. Also that yr Wiet had not started breaking down. That was the yr to put but on the market and maximize value. I said just that here at the time.
Also the O's bid against themselves to keep Davis. I am so glad Elias is running things now bc he seems to have a much firmer grasp on what talent is worth.
I told you so..true form

Chris Davis retires. $161 million up in smoke.
Yeah in retrospect it really was but they had to sign him, It just didn't work out. With the teams reputation for being cheap (often undeserved IMO - NOT that I am saying it was a well run club) and with Davis's production and popularity they team would have been skewered if they let him walk. Of course the same people skewered the team for the signing when his production went away.
He seemed like a good guy and was the main reason to watch the club for a few years. He averaged 37 home runs over a 6 year span, that's crazy. Being suspended for the playoffs the one season might have really hurt, but mostly he was fun for a while. I hope he has a good retirement and post baseball life.

Yea...and they squeaked out a 4-3 win over Detroit tonight. Harvey pitched great (don't know what to make of him), Severino and Montcastle homered...
I like the offense they are building. I like the college pick first rounder. It might only take him a year or so. Leave Adley and all the pitchers down this year and next year might be fun.
The following funner!

That was a special game.
Pretty solid step forward this month.

So far June is good

Lol ^ timing

That was a thing of beauty! I made it home in time to nail bite my way through three innings.

3-1 loss to the Mariners. I watched the game. The Orioles have little discipline at the plate. They will swing at anything. The Mariners won't.
Make the pitchers pitch.
Camden Yards looked nice....very inviting.
The at bats with the bases loaded in the 6th were pretty awful.

Gibson couldn't throw a strike if his life depended on it. Yet, the Orioles swung away...at junk and got shut out.
Means was pretty great though! Bright side!

I watched a total of about 4 different games so far (not all Orioles games) and I am already annoyed with wandering strike zones, Not a fan of the Covid rules either.

Yea...this is a low budget telecast....Palmer hasn't even shaved.
Final 7-3.
I can't sit for 3 hours and watch this on TV without having other things to do. I might go to radio on work on stuff.
Baseball on the radio can be a beautiful thing. Not so much with the crew I heard today though. No offense to them but they were not good. You can't take a sports call in host and slot in into play by play and expect him to be good.
Hopefully they improve. It can happen.

These radio announcers are awful.

Good win tonight. Means was good and the bullpen was excellent.
4-2 is so much better than 3-3.

Opening day 3-0 shut out of the Red Sox!
The Means and Montcastle show. Means threw 7 scoreless innings. He had control all the way. At one point he set down 18 straight batters!
Here's an obscure stat. Considering all the great Oriole pitchers of the past, Means is the first Orioles pitcher since 1901 to go 7 or more innings on Opening Day allowing 1 hit or fewer.
Who'd-a-thunk?!
Montcastle hit a 2 run double off the Green Monster.
Sweet start to the season. I never expected Orioles pitching to hold up against that line up.
Retirement is good. I got to watch my first opening day game in about 20 years.
Not so good is the outrageous price for jerseys....
$259.99That is robbery.Means was awesome. What a start for Mullins!

Hundreds of horses die each year in horse racing, almost 500 in the US in 2018. Many others get injured. When it goes well it's still a "sport" where someone whips a horse to make it go faster.
Garbage "sport" run by corrupt garbage people.

Just do away with horse racing in general.
