Nice for the hundred people there to cheer on Davis.

He was pitching pretty well up to that point. He missed his spot badly. Severino sitting off outside corner and he left the fastball middle-in, knee high.

That is Bundy's problem. He always seems to be cruising and then he throws a cookie that gets murdered. If I strike out the side but in between allow a home run, I'm still a 9.00 ERA pitcher no matter what the K rate tells me.

Is the ball flying, or are the balls being hit hard off some poor pitching? I'm not seeing too many cheap HRs. Even in the first row, that ball had a .730 xBA. That means it was hit well.

I'm basically an old eye ball guy. Davis's first out this game had a higher EV and went further, but it was just an out.

I didn't see it, but Davis' first lineup had a .650 xBA so it was obviously some bad luck there. He's actually been hitting the ball decently of late, but having some bad luck.

I am more interested in how many consecutive PAs Davis can have without even attempting a bunt.

I ask my kids a couple times a week...."What do you think of when you think of Italy" 

Even my son who doesn't care about baseball knows.......PERILLO TOURS!!!

What are the AB & PA records if you include pitchers?

You can get away with that a little more when you throw in the mid/high 90s, not 90-91.

O's 13 straight games allowing at least one HR to start the season... ML record is 16.

[TGO]

Bundy has started throwing batting practice in the 5th.

And things fall apart.
