vs. YANKEES, 2/27 on MASN

[scOtt]

Gentry bobbles and gives up the double.

 

Basehit, held at third. Alvarez almost throws it away to PENA! Backing up 3B.

[scOtt]

And a 3-run bomb!

Andino vs Flash may become a full on competition. 

[scOtt]

I'm going to stick it out because it's Gary and Jim on TV

 

Andino from foul ground, GUN to 1B! NICE!

Does Flash have an option?

[sportsfan8703]

Not a good outing for drake. But it's way early in ST. Had no movement and didn't miss any bats all while topping out at 89. 

Nuno might have the edge on him. Lefty. Can go multiple innings. Has an option.

I think he has enough service time to decline if optioned.

Santander Good Morning Good Afternoon and Good night!

 

Groundout to end the game. Damn Yankees.

How is that?

He is taking a lot of called strikes again.  He should have been wrung up on the pitch before (fastball that seemed to clip the outside corner) he was actually called out on strikes (which was a good breaking ball).  He still has lots of time to turn it around but...

He's also walking a bunch.  I wouldn't be overly concerned about the patient approach.

I hope you are right.  I dont think the Os envisioned paying Davis that much money to walk.  I just thought he would be swinging the bat better.  But it is early.  Im just a little less confident in my statement he will be that .250-.260 hitter we saw in past years.

I mean, I wasn't trying to imply that he won't do anything other than walk.  Just that it's been ~10 PA.  In Spring Training.  If you're concerned about him getting called out on called strikes, the fact that he's walking a lot is pretty relevant.

Yes I do agree that walking is one of the good things Chris Davis can do and he certainly helped Trumbo with his numbers last year IMO.  Even though he had a down year, he could still hit it out of the park and pitchers had to prepare for that.  

Maybe I am growing impatient with my own prediction and hopes I had for Davis this season.  It is early, and pitchers are usually ahead of hitter this time of year.

With only about 10 ST plate appearances completed so far, I would say this is likely the case.
