The low standards some of you set for Davis is laughable. I get that he plays a gold glove first base, he's a good guy and he's the most popular Oriole, but dude striking out literally every other at bat has gotten old.

He goes through these funks a couple of times every season. He's still walking a lot, keeping a respectable OBP in the process.

This is the same Chris Davis it's always been. He goes through hot stretches and cold stretches, and he strikes out a lot. At the end of the day, though, he's a productive hitter overall. This is nothing new.

This thread wouldn't exist if CD would have just hit a sac fly yesterday. Sometimes we need him to just do that. We can grind out games.

2nd and 3rd nobody out. Machado flies out to RF, plates 1 run. Schoop on 3rd and 1 out. Davis needed to bring him in. It's that simple. 3 run HR's are nice but 2 runs right there off fly balls would have been better.

Ah, right. If he'd only do this, if he'd only do that...if he'd ONLY JUST COME THROUGH IN CLOSE GAMES WHEN WE REALLY NEED IT THE MOST HE'D BE PERFECT.

Game doesn't work that way.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I’d be very surprised too but it’s all about talent and where you draft.  At 22 it’s tough to get high ceiling talent.  I’d guess Brecht is a reliever at the next level but he’s got dominant reliever upside.  His stuff, reportedly, is as good as any pitcher in the draft.  95 strikeouts in 55 innings as a starter.

      He's already a HOF.  It's just that his injuries have killed his chances of being an Inner Circle HOF.

      By now · Posted

      With three more hits today, Etzel is at .360/.992. He has 171 MiLB at bats, so a third of a season. Which projects to a full season with:  513 AB 111 R 39 2B 12 3B 12 HR 114 RBI 93 BB 123 SO 90 SB 21 CS .339 AVG .445 OBP .532 SLG Not too shabby!

      Why I don't fully trust Catch Probability

      By brooks1083 · Posted

      I would love for someone to explain or justify to me how in the world Mullins catch on 4/15 is listed at 65% catch probability. There are a couple of guys in the league that make that catch but it’s a very short list. Maybe I just don’t understand the stat.

      Cade Povich 2024

      By Punchandjudy · Posted

      Not sure a pitcher technically can get “squeezed” by the automated strike zone but Povich had a number of borderline pitches tonight that could go the other way.  Handley was visibility perturbed by a few of the calls on walks and Povich doubled over in disbelief on a couple of walk calls. He reminds me a little of Tom Glavine how he throws, his wind up, how he hides the ball and how it explodes out his hand….sort of effortless. I heard the announcer for the Sound say Povich’s curveball hasn’t had a hit against it all year long and every other pitch is around .100 batting avg against.  In person, his fastball has a lot more giddy up than the radar shows.  98 pitches tonight and looks like he has a rubber arm.

      a game you'd hope Mullins, Mountcastle or Santander would step up and were let down.
