I wish to reiterate my desire for Davis to show up at ST looking like fat Thor.

Chris Davis did a phone-in interview today on the Hot Stove radio show on 105.7 The Fan here in Baltimore. Jim Hunter and Steve Melewski straight out asked Davis about hitting, and what he was doing t

I think there may be a pattern there. I'll try to apply some complex modeling techniques to see whether I can discern one, and will report back if I do come up with anything.

I was at the game last night sitting down the first base line with a few friends and I was thinking the same thing. That must have been the hardest hit ball off his bat in years. The pitch speed was 100 mph too. It was an impressive display of power.

CD now has 293 career home runs. Obviously he won't get to 300 this year, but it would be pretty cool if he hit number 300 and sailed off into the sunset.

I don't really want him on the team until 2021.  But yes, it was nice to see a throwback moment.

Nice attempt at correcting my post.

Sorry. 

I'm a comma, comma, comma, comma, Karma chameleon, but I occasionally make other grammatical errors.

Look, yeah, credit where it's due. He took a 100 mph fastball and cranked the sucker. It does not get more legit than that. 

Was it a cookie? Yeah, pretty much. But he misses those constantly. Not that time.

It was on the inside quarter but maybe not as far inside as the pitcher  would have liked.  Also thigh high.  But more promising is the fact that (in my opinion) he got the bat head out much faster than he has all season.  I don’t think it was quite to 2013 level, but he’s been slow to get the bat around for the past 2 seasons and that time it seemed much quicker.  Maybe he’s finally made some changes.

I can’t remebr the last time I saw him drop the bat immediately because he knew it was gone

Seems like a lifetime ago....

From the article:

“That was a knock against me when I came to Baltimore, that I liked to work out a lot,” Davis said, referencing both his batting-cage rituals and his grueling weight-lifting sessions.

      Wild card series roll call

      By SteveA · Posted

      So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.

      How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.

      That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.
