He's bad at baseball which is a real problem since the Orioles pay him to play baseball.

I feel like if he was bad at baseball but he was an usher this would all be OK.

Or as a fan you ask Davis to help you to your seat and he stands there frozen for five minutes, and finally you decide to seat yourself.

The interesting thing about Ventura being on this list of hitless PA's is that he still holds the NCAA D-1 record for most consecutive  games with a hit (58 games.)

Mildly reminiscent of the fact that the University of Virginia basketball team is playing in the national championship game one year after an embarrassing, history-making loss to 16-seed Maryland-Baltimore County.

Virginia has completed the 180, defeating Texas Tech to win the National Championship ........ now, Davis can follow suit at the plate.

Davis will probably get a hit in his next game.  He's hitting line drives now, even if they are relatively weak.  One is bound to drop in soon.

You realize we are talking about a HIT. A single, lone hit. Saying "he is due one of these days!" shows just how far he has fallen. He isn't a ML player and hasn't been for far longer than any other team would put up with it, owed XXm or not. 

He needs to be benched, brought back after some time off to give one more chance, and then put out to pasture. We are at the point of no return. The money is a sunk cost, it doesn't matter anymore if it ever did.

I know a lot of fans here were hoping he would be so embarrassed by how he is playing he would want to quit.  Davis seems to be determined to show up for all 7 years of his contract.  I could see him batting around .100 this season (hopefully in limited action) and showing up ready to play a full season next spring.

Well Davis will hit .100 if he doesn’t start getting any hits soon. I just want know when does Elias tell the Angelos brothers enough is enough and Davis can’t be on the 25 man roster. 

Is there an already agreed upon plan?

Currently 0 for 28, Davis would only have to go 10 for 72 (.139) to reach .100 at 100 At-bats or 16 for 72 (.222) to reach .160. I think the latter is somewhere close to his upper limit, but would probably gain him more playing time.

I wonder what the underlying issue is with Davis? Is he still using adderall? Or did they give him something else to use? This is really sad to watch because of how great he used to be. 

Reflexes have slowed, poor fundamentals in his batting stance and swing, mentally he is a mess, and possible effects from taking or not taking certain medications.

    • when Holliday obliterated AA at the same age with an OPS over 1.000, against the same washed up pitchers that Basallo is having success against. Whats good for the goose. Basallo will put under the same scrutiny As JH when he does what JH did come up and make a mess of it for 3 weeks. Maybe they are both too young. Its a rare talant the can handle MLB at such young age 
    • No resting on our laurels: Tampa: “Once again one of the very best systems in baseball, the Rays have a high-end combination of big time impact talent at the very top of their org to go with overall depth.”  (1 60, 3 55, 49 at 35+) Boston: “This is perhaps the deepest system in all of baseball, and one of the best.” (1 55, 4 50, 47 at 35+) New York: “This system is healthy (that’s a formidable group of 50s up top) and exciting.” (1 55, 5 50, 36 at 35+) The O’s still have the upper hand, with 1 70, 1 60, 2 55 and 1 50, 45 at 35+.   Two of our top guys listed have graduated or will graduate this season.
    • I respect your opinion, but there is no other reason to have Urias over Mayo right now.  I guess we could get creative and keep Urias till September by option Cowser to get Mayo up here. Or we could go with a short bullpen and rotate fresh arms in the 7th pen spot. 
    • Luis Gonzalez is on a MiL deal but I think he has a good shot to be added to the 40 man rather than going back to minor league free agency. His AAA numbers are very good and he could be the replacement Vespi up/down lefty. He’ll have all 3 options. Only impediment may be that Krook will still have an option next year and McHough could be added instead, and maybe they’ll want to keep one or both of them and feel that makes Gonzalez redundant.  But Gonzalez has definitely out pitched both. 
    • At this time last year, Holliday was still in Aberdeen on his way to a .940 OPS.   He didn’t get promoted to Bowie until July 14, so your comparison is a bit premature.  🙂   Maybe Basallo’s .894 OPS in June and 1.053 OPS so far in July is a better comp?
    • Pls stop with the crusade and ignorance against advanced stats.  During MASN interview earlier this season, Drew French said he pays ZERO attention to ERA and instead prefers FIP.
    • I was very excited by Cunningham given the tools but he’s looking like a non-prospect, he is the biggest disappointment for me. EBJ may not shoot through the minors like our recent high college hitter picks but it hasn’t been all bad. Exactly 100 wRC+ as a 22 year old speed/defense CF in A+ ball. It’s more of the same from his short debut last year with good K/BB rates, and the power hasn’t been terrible relative to expectations, hovering around .100 ISO all year. He just has a much lower BABIP than you would expect for a super fast guy in the low minors, and that’s not a great sign for his line drive contact quality but not a big red flag quite yet. Especially with Cowser showing so well defensively there is no reason to rush EBJ. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in a trade since he likely still has good trade value and is definitely one of the highest profile position players in the second tier of the system where they’re most likely to deal from.
