vs. Red Sox 7-28

By adjust, you mean throw the ball dead center?

That seems to me the only way Jason gets a strike called lately- and usually it's hit...HARD, before the ump has a chance to clinch his fist.

No, often umpires who don't give the low strike will give more of the plate in or out. My point is he has to find it, the zone where this umpire will call strikes around the margins.

Most will not give you the entirety of the zone as written in the book but they have some variation of their own.

Davis is just swinging at anything inside, no matter how inside it is.

[Malike]

Cabrera is creeping up on the Triple Crown again. He'll probably get 2 in a row. Amazing, really.

[Il BuonO]

Manny hasn't doubled in 74 AB!

Do people still think he's breaking the record?

[Malike]

Chris swinging at everything....

This is first half 2012 Chris Davis. It's not pleasant to watch.

[jofalfa]

Looking rough, CD. Let's go AJ.

[tntoriole]

Still swinging at really bad pitches. Over/under 45 HRs?

[Greg]

Boston hitter take that pitch for Ball 3 we swing at it and K.

[Malike]

Do people still think he's breaking the record?

Nah, he's off the pace now.

[Il BuonO]

That's a ball, Chris.

With his increase in SO lately comes a marked decrease in plate discipline.

[joedogg9999]

CD is just not seeing the ball whatsoever

LOVE the avatar!

Give Davis a day or two off to clear his head, he's completely lost at the plate.

[allquixotic]

Davis fouled off 2 pitches that would have been out of the strike zone for a typical umpire, let alone this particular hitter-friendly ump. His strike 3 swing and miss was significantly out of the strike zone, even for a standard strike zone. He could have easily walked if he'd just take the pitches.

[Malike]

Duquette said Davis has expanded the strike zone again, much like when he was a borderline AAAA player.
