vs. Royals 5/18

[nevadaO]

Machado going to come through with a double here.

[InsideCoroner]

Way to string it together, boys. Let's get that 3rd run in now.

[WEAVERMAN]

Keep it going Manny.

Please do.

I think most of the team's hitters carry poor approaches at the plate, and most people have down years. Maybe this is one of AJ's. I don't expect Chris Davis to hit 50 HRs again. Wieters is hurt (possibly for the entire year). Hardy's dealt with injuries that seem to have affected his hitting. Machado tailed off badly during the second half of 2013, and he's coming back from a major injury. Schoop is a rookie. Cruz has already been playing well over his head going by his career averages. Markakis is what he is. Fairly solid singles hitter.

Where's the major correction coming from?

SSS, but the team is stuffing mouthfuls of crow into both of our mouths at the moment.

Nick you should be at 2nd

[ExileAngelos]

Nick has to get to second base there wow

[weams]

Why doesn't Nick take the base on those types of mistakes?

[WEAVERMAN]

Way to string it together, boys. Let's get that 3rd run in now.

Let's have a BIG inning.

[scOtt]

Wonder what our record is in throwback unis.

[Il BuonO]

Can Nick ever advance on a WP?

[ExileAngelos]

Great job Manny

[weams]

Well done Manny.

[allquixotic]

That Schoop advance to third on Nick's single looks huge now. Aggressive baserunning plus the sac fly.

Nice Job Manny

You are saying pretty much what I've been thinking, but do you think Davis is likely to hit even 30 HR at this point?

I wouldn't call it likely, but I think he'll get there. I'm not as confident in that as I was before he returned from the DL, though. His swing just looks...off...to me. Uppercut seems to be much more pronounced, and he doesn't seem to be making great use of his lower half (maybe injury related?).
