Whatever.  I'll believe it when I see it.

Exactly.  Nothing Davis says really matters right now.   He’ll either play better, or he won’t.   If he does, I might be interested in hearing how he did it.   Until then, I’m not interested.

I mean, maybe he doesn't want to say anything that'll let pitchers know how to attack him.  But he was such an easy out last year,  I don't think pitchers would really care.

I dont care what he needs to go to fix the problem.

Play with snakes

Find Jobu

Pick up knitting to relax his nerves, I dont care, just find something to get you back to what you used to be. :)

Even if he hits, at 33 he adds nothing to a rebuilding team. I can't wait until he's gone.

I don't agree with that at all.  If he can rebound and become replacement level, or dare I say it, above replacement level, maybe he contributes to them being an 85-90 loss team rather than a 95+ or even 100+ team.  It's at least something, and it'll make them a more interesting team to watch.  Plus I hope he's able to rebound just from a personal standpoint, it's tough to watch the guy struggle so much.  No, he won't be a contributing member of their next playoff contending team, and his value if he rebounds to some extent will still be far below what his contract justifies, but it would be more than nothing.

I totally agree, would rather root for him to do well, then for him to suck and be DFA.

 Roch had this tidbit:

  

“There are a few adjustments that I’ve made. I don’t really want to get into the details,” Davis said while standing at his locker.

Sounds like a kid who's parent who asked him how his big paper is coming the night before it is due and the kid hasn't even started writing it yet.

I'd rather lose 100 and get the top draft pick again.

I am so tired of bad baseball and I think we are in such a tough division that we are assured of a pretty high pick regardless, plus with the new FO, I think we can trust the process.

 

I want our guys to hustle and play well and win some games and bring some fans back, and I don’t want to tank completely just for another 1:1

I looked but could only find 2018 spring training stats which were poor. Does anyone know or know where I could find Spring stats for previous years that might suggest what a good spring would mean for davis like in 15 and 16 how Was his spring because those years he had good years? Would like to see evidence that would support what a good spring could mean for Davis.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By e16bball · Posted

      A little funny to have provided descriptions of the hits (“weak” single; “500 foot” HR). FIP doesn’t care about any of that either, so it’s kind of an odd thing to add in an effort to make ERA look bad.  Come in, strike out the first hitter, then give up three 108 MPH rocket doubles off the wall. FIP thinks you were absolutely outstanding, and it’s a shame your pathetic defense and/or sheer bad luck let you down. Next time you’ll (probably) get the outcomes you deserve. They’re both flawed. So is xFIP. So is SIERA. So is RA/9. So is WPA. So is xERA. None of them are perfect measures of how a pitcher’s actual performance was, because there’s way too much context and too many variables for any one metric to really encompass.  But when I’m thinking about awards, for me at least, it ends up having to be about the actual outcomes. I don’t really care what a hitter’s xWOBA is when I’m thinking about MVP, and the same is true for pitchers. Did you get the outs? Did the runs score? That’s the “value” that translates to the scoreboard and, ultimately, to the standings. So I think the B-R side of it is more sensible for awards.  I definitely take into account the types of factors that you (and other pitching fWAR advocates) reference as flaws. So if a guy plays in front of a particular bad defense or had a particularly high percentage of inherited runners score, I’d absolutely adjust my take to incorporate that info. And I also 100% go to Fangraphs first when I’m trying to figure out which pitchers we should acquire (i.e., for forward looking purposes).  But I just can’t bring myself say that my Cy Young is just whichever guy had the best ratio of Ks to BBs to HRs over a threshold number of innings. As @Frobby said, it just distills out too much of what actually happened.

      We were all a lot younger in 2005.  No one wanted to believe Canseco cause he’s a smarmy guy. Like I said, he was the only one telling the truth. It wasn’t a leap of faith to see McGwire up there and Sosa up there and think “yeah, those guys were juicing” but then suddenly look at Raffy and think he was completely innocent.  It’s a sad story. The guy should be in Hall of Fame yet 500 homers and 3,000 hits are gone like a fart in the wind cause his legacy is wagging his finger and thinking he couldn’t get caught.  Don’t fly too close to the sun.

      I think if we get the fun sprinkler loving Gunnar that was in the dugout yesterday, I don’t think we have to worry about him pressing. He seemed loose and feeling good with the other guys he was with, like Kremer.

      I was a lot younger back then, but that betrayal hit really hard because he had been painting himself as literally holier than thou, and shook his finger to a congressional committee and then barely 2 weeks later failed the test.

      Not bad, but Mullins needs to be at Centerfield for his range, glove, and defensive ability. Top teir premium defense cannot be underestimated. Kjerstad will be on the bench. I think the question is whether Slater or Cowser plays. I would prefer Ramirez over Slater if they need another right handed bat. Sig needs to look at Adleys recent sample sizes vs LHP before making him DH. McCann is catching for Burnes and hitting the left handed pitcher. He's also on a hot streak.

      I’m slightly (irrationally, I admit, there’s no factual basis for what I’m about to say) worried that Gunnar is going to view this as the “Gunnar vs. Bobby” show and press hard at the plate and in the field leading to bad at bats and unforced errors.

      Sounds like getting your heart broken by big league ballplayers is a personal problem. Learn and adjust accordingly. These guys usually aren’t trying to be role models and he played in an era where a lot of players were on the gas. Was I surprised? Yeah, a little bit.  No one likes to admit Jose Canseco was the most honest one up there that day and was telling the truth the entire time.
