It looks like Davis is being crowded inside to keep him from extending his arms. He has to make an adjustment which will probably mean less HR and more walks, until they find that counter productive. The good news is he is getting hits and driving in runs. It sure would help if Markakis could get on base more.

He's taken quite a few walks lately.

Despite the fact that he had not hit a homer until yesterday, Davis has looked OK this season. He's been on base in every game except the opener, and had an 8 game hitting streak snapped on Saturday in a game where he was walked twice. I'm glad to see him get his first dinger of the year, but frankly I wasn't too worried about him. He'll hit at least 35-40 bombs before the season is over,and if he manages to put up a .350 OBP when he's not hitting them, as he has so far this year, he'll have a very good season.

And be way out of our price range.

Haha, right on time. :)

He's gotten into a few that seems like they've hung up and/or been hit to the deepest parts of the ballparks we've been in. I think he's been pretty unlucky in that respect. As others have said, though, he's been getting on base and playing well overall. The homers will come.

      Clubhouse issues?

      The problem with that last statement is that this indeed is a business. And guys want to get paid and be fairly compensated. They all recognize that they have a short window to make life changing money.

      Are we done?

      I haven’t looked at his innings closely but I could see McDermott being tried as a reliever late in the season.

      McDermott is probably not there to preserve his image as a starter to potential trade partners, and if he is still here on July 31st, I'd expect to see him in our pen shortly. I do still want another solid RP, also preferably a lefty, and Sam Moll would fit the bill perfectly without breaking the bank.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      By jdwilde1 · Posted

      I agree, with the caveat that Santander is a different animal than Hays and Mullins.  Santander plays every day and is having a career year going into FA.  It’s really the situation that every player wants. Meanwhile, Hays and Mullins are platooning after being every day players, and are having poor seasons.     I am sure Hays thought he had earned the right to play through his rough start, but it always doesn’t work out that way.    The thing I really want to see is what the O’s off-season looks like with Rubenstein’s ownership compared to JA.

      Grade the Hays for Dominguez/Pache trade

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      It’s a fair trade.  We needed another late inning reliever and Pache helps with late inning defense.     Pache is an abysmal hitter though so hopefully he doesn’t get too many starts or late at bats.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      It feels like a stretch to me that players being in Norfolk is hurting the vibes on the Major League team.  If those players come up, they will take jobs or playing time from current players.   Obviously, if there is a perception that we’re playing service time games instead of fielding our best players, then that could hurt morale.  However, I’m skeptical that current players are outraged that Mountcastle/O’Hearn/Westburg are playing over Mayo right now in the same way that some fans may be. Goon references veteran players in contract years - I’m pretty sure that’s only Santander and Burnes who are not feeling any competition from young players and both made the all-star team. With regard to long term extensions, it seems a bit silly to say young players want long term extensions but are being blocked by their agents and this is hurting morale. Boras has never inked an extension for a player with less than two years service time like Gunnar or Westy. Adley and his GF are from the Pacific Northwest- maybe they want to eventually be closer to home.  GRod, Cowser, and Kjerstad may be viewed as more risky candidates for an extension by Elias.  It’s not clear to me that Goon’s column represents any actual reporting as opposed to pure speculation.
