Second and third one out, Davis strikes out looking at all three pitches.  Does he even try? 

He looked at 5 pitches, actually.   Almost swung at two of them, had to check with the 3rd base ump twice.

Honestly the third strike was a slider away that was practically unhittable.   The one he really should have swung at was the 2nd ball, a fastball at the knees that could very well have been called strike 3.

Everything thrown at Davis is unhittable.

The breaking ball was a meatball inner half. Should have gone 450 feet.

The thing that is totally astonishing to me is that, despite being 1 for 11 this spring with 7 strikeouts, his spring OPS is STILL higher than it was all of last regular season!

7 strike outs in 11 at bats?  Same old Davis we know and love.

I know this question has been asked a thousand times, but has Davis really been to a top ophthalmologist?  Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins is supposed to good.

CTE? Or just washed up? 

If Elias really does have full control, I don’t see him putting up with Davis for more than a couple months. Unless Elias is trying to secure the number one pick in 2020.

I like how you are referring him to Hopkins.  I think if you need glasses or contacts you could go down to your local Pearl Vision Center or Lens Crafters and they could hook you up.   Its not like he needs a cornea transplant or has glaucoma.

    • In terms of energy?   e = 1/2 mv^2 football: 60 mph -> 26.8 m/s, 14.5 oz = .411 kg.  1/2 * (26.8^2) * .411 = 147.5 joules. baseball: 102 mph -> 45.59 m/s, 5 oz = .142 kg.  1/2 * (45.59^2) * .142 = 147.5 joules.   I don't think they're 100% equivalent - I think the higher raw speed on the arm of a 102 mph pitch introduces more stress on the arm than a 60 mph football throw.  But they're not that far off.
    • There is no chance that over 60 mph for a QB is the equivalent of 102.  QBs do not train for velocity like pitchers do. 
    • I would prefer they ask for Jon Gray in spite of the Orioles destroying him in his last start - he wouldn't have to face the Orioles lineup again.
    • He makes $43 million this year. The Mets are paying $21 million of that. I don’t think we pick up the remaining $10+ post deadline for 10-12 starts. It would just depend on what Texas would ask for to pick up the tab. 
    • Haynie on 105.7, has been beating the Luis Robert drum for months on the O’s pre game show. So I think that’s why people like the idea of Robert. Robert also is always hurt.  We need a bat. Probably a RH bat to DH in the playoffs versus a LH SP. That bat is Mayo. It’s just hard to get Mayo up before September when we get the extra roster spot. 
    • Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.
    • This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.
