It doesn't have me bummed.   I don't know about any of you guys but I've learned a lot about myself in regards to the whole Davis situation.  I've been pretty harsh on here, maybe a little too ha

So THATS what it means. I thought it stood for Oh, F- the F-ing New york Yankees.

That was a nice hit and base running by Davis tonight.

When do we start talking about how bad his SO rate is? (36% and a few significant ticks higher than normal)

His line drive rate is way up and his fly ball rate way down, turning him into a much less scary hitter.

I thought we always talk about how bad his SO rate is.

I'm not sure what to say about the LD vs FB rates.

I'll just take a guess and say with the cold weather he knows that the ball isn't going to carry well to the LF gap. Once it warms up he might try to start hitting those long fly balls to oppo field. I think the K's are here to stay and he has a huge strike zone.

Can someone show me where I can find statistics on called third strikes?   I really am curious if I am just nuts in thinking his percentage is very high

He set the record for most called strikeouts last year, and is on pace to beat that record this year.

Someone tell him when he's down 0-2 or 1-2 to sit fastball, not breaking ball. They are throwing fastballs right down the middle most of the time because they know he's guessing breaking ball.

He could also try bunting since they are giving him a free base hit literally every time he comes up to bat.

 

Make the defense adjust or hit over .400 like you are Ted Williams.

 

Or just keep striking out like you don't even care, whatever.

I've been saying this all along. He could be an .800 hitter if he would try and hit ground balls to the left side of the diamond. The other teams would also stop shifting on him then too. If he spent as much time trying to hit the ball the other way as much as he tries to beat the shift, he'd be much better off.

Now here is something I didn't think I would say years ago, but he is becoming very valuable for his defense.

Without his GG level defense we would have seen this thread 5 times already this season. 

I thought players got better with the strike one as they got older. Davis looks lost. Combine a huge strike zone with poor plate coverage, substantial holes in his swing, and the shift, all of this adds up to what we're seeing. 

Dropping bunts down are pointless for this team. It's not like we manufacture runs. All it does is take away one of our chances to hit a homer. It's who we are.

      I think he’s fine in the regular season but if you look around at #4 starters on contending teams like NYY, LAD, PHI, and ATL you get: LAD: one of Walker Buehler/Bobby Miller/Clayton Kershaw (if healthy) ATL: Reynaldo Lopez (3.60 xERA, 2.90 FIP) or Max Fried (3.16 xERA, 3.51 FIP) NYY: Gil, Stroman, or Schmidt PHI: Turnbull (4.19 xERA, 3.62 FIP) or Sanchez (3.73 xERA, 2.58 FIP)   The only guys I would consider Kremer over are Stroman (who is probably the Yankees 6th best starter when Cole comes back) or Turnbull (very similar career numbers but has been much better this year). Again, he’s fine as a #5 but I would not want him starting another playoff game and if Irvin reverts back to being a 4-4.40 ERA guy, I don’t think we would be thrilled with that either.

      It certainly goes to show the Orioles have a good team when almost all of their DFA's are claimed now. But that's exactly why having three options was put into the MLB system. This gives guys like Nevin, McKenna, Baumann major league opportunities when they would be stuck in AAA with the Orioles. while it stink for the Orioles to not have those depth players, it also give guys chances to becomes those depth players still in the system.

      This offensive style is not sustainable

      By Frobby · Posted

      It’s really hard to watch veterans struggle, but I still think the O’s are a month away from doing anything more significant than they’ve done already to adjust playing time, etc.   Hopefully some of the vets wake up before then.

      Is it me, or does ti appear that Adley drops to his knee on almost every big swing and is off balance even when he connects with a ball? I don't remember this pronounced "drop to a knee" swing in almost every single at bat. That cant be a good thing for a hitter or even if it is not a concern, Adley gets out of the box slower because he's off balance.

      Seems like we’re just going in circles on this. Showalter is exactly a use case for why I think JF could be moved at some point. There’s only a select 2 or 3 on Elias’ absolute no touch list (presumably - but no one knows for sure obviously).  JF would be moved if the right team asks in the right deal as I doubt he’s not on the into untouchable list. We are both ultimately saying the same thing here…I think. BTW, interesting what the Cards are doing with Showalter, moved to pen and pitching only once a week. Man he’s been dominant. 18.1 IP, 30K and only 13 H and 6 BB allowed this year. I was in the camp that was very disappointed he was moved (even before Flahery came over and clunked).

      One thing I have to add on Young.   That analysis was based on about 17 IP.

      Plus, McCann might not be as safe as we think.  We could pretty much rotate catcher’s in off the street for what McCann brings. I’m sure some catchers in the minors have June 1st opt out clauses too.  Hunt could just be a CYA thing if there is a guy out there with a June 1 opt out date that we’ve already identified.
