I've not gotten a single televised Os game in Denver, so can someone tell me if defenses so far are shifting for Davis? (13Ks in 23 ABs would suggest that maybe they don't need to).  Or maybe the shift is only situational?

If they are still shifting, why Davis has not yet tried to lay one down the third base line for a hit is beyond me.  At least he'd get the O-fer monkey off his back...

Yes still shifting. He can't bunt just as bad as he can't hit. Why doesn't our manager insist he try to bunt?

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.

Davis is at 44 AB's without a hit and the all-time record is 46 so he should break it tonight if he goes hitless his first 3 AB's. The plate appearances without a hit is 57. Davis is at 51. 

 

Here are the longest streaks of hitless at-bats:

Eugenio Vélez, Giants/Dodgers, 46, 2010-11 
Craig Counsell, Brewers, 45, 2011

Chris Davis, Orioles, 44, 2018-19
Todd Zeile, Orioles/Dodgers, 44, 1996-97 
Tony Bernazard, Indians, 44, 1984 
Dann Howitt, A’s/Mariners, 43, 1992 
Cookie Rojas, Royals, 43, 1975 
Justin Ruggiano, Marlins, 42, 2013 
Luke Scott, Rays, 41, 2012 
Robin Ventura, White Sox, 41, 1990 
Brad Ausmus, Astros, 40, 2006 
Andy Fox, Expos/Rangers, 40, 2004 
Jose Canseco, A’s, 40, 1986 
Pablo Sandoval, Giants, 39, 2017 
Coco Crisp, A’s, 39, 2014-15
Tim Naehring, Red Sox, 39, 1991 
Butch Wynegar, Twins, 39, 1978 
Chad Kreuter, Royals, 38, 1999

ESPN and MLBN are both airing games this evening.

If Chris gets out in his first at bat, I fully expect there will be live cut-ins on both networks to Camden Yards when he bats the second time.

As of today, this has gone to another level.   It is a national story, the likes of which we haven't had in Baltimore since 0-21.

If he gets a hit that way to end the streak would that be considered "cheap", like bunting to break up a no hitter?

Probably, but in the record books it's a "line drive" single to right.

I don't think he can bunt for a hit.

Catcher or pitcher could field it and throw him out, he's pretty slow of foot these days.

Yep and if he did that to try to avoid breaking the record and popped out to the pitcher or something, he'd be even more the laughingstock of baseball.  Fodder for late night comics at that point.

      Brandon Young 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      BP profiled him today: Brandon Young, RHP, Baltimore Orioles Listed Height: 6-foot-6 Listed Weight: 210 pounds DOB (Age): August 19, 1998 (25) Pitch Velo Spin IVB HB Total % Whiff% 4-Seam Fastball 93.5 2124 18.0 -4.8 131 48.7 31.8 Changeup 85.5 1730 9.8 -13.3 64 23.8 22.9 Curveball 75.7 2723 -14.4 11.5 34 12.6 40.0 Slider 85.4 2048 5.4 5.5 26 9.7 12.5 Sweeper 79.5 2084 1.7 11.5 14 5.2 11.1 Injuries limited Young to just 53 1/3 innings between 2022 and 2023. Upon return to action last year, he flashed increased velocity. That velocity bump has carried over to 2024. Now, Young’s fastball has borderline-average velocity (previously below-average) but above-average carry and extension (6.6 feet). It is further aided by strong command. After his fastball, which is by no means a world beater, Young has a smattering of average secondaries. He primarily relies on a changeup–really his only secondary with above-average potential–that has solid velocity (8 mph), vertical movement (8+ inches), and horizontal movement (8+ inches) separation from his fastball. Both his breaking balls either lack enough power (curveball) or depth (slider/cutter) to be viable putaway pitches at the MLB level. His seldomly-used sweeper has potential, but it has had little success so far. Young adds to the depth of the deepest system in baseball, yet he very well may just be that–depth–likely without an above-average offering. Of course, he could become a viable fantasy arm even with mediocre stuff due to his command and control.

      Interesting Article About Scott Boras and Orioles

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      If I sell someone a house, I don’t advise them to buy the most expensive house because that means more money for me. I get to know the client, understand what’s important for them and advise them based off of that. That’s how you should always handle a job like that imo. Your wallet should not be part of the equation.

      Kyle Stowers 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      This goes back to a discussion I had before.     Since Stowers likely doesn’t have great trade value, do you keep him and trade Kjerstad instead?  Even if you think HK is better, can he get you a way better player and Stowers give you 80-90% of what HK can give you? It’s possible you have room for both too.  Just saying if you decide to trade an OFer, maybe this is the smart way to go?

      What I thought was best for my client. Which would depend on what my client has told me he wants. If he wants to maximize earnings I tell him to test free agency.
