Why did Davis go after Hyde? He was not happy.

On a positive note this is the first positive contribution Mark Trumbo has made to the club this year!

Some of y'all have some whack takes on Hyde here, that's all I'm gonna say. Davis has been rightly criticized by coaches before and I have no problem with a manager calling out a veteran player for sl

Who knows if Hyde made a comment about Davis' hitting but if he did, it was a longtime coming right? 

Davis hasn't made any significant adjustments in three years.  His batting stance is largely the same and It has to be frustrating for a coach.  I know Richie Martin may never be a good mlb player but at least he's made noticeable adjustments to try to get better.

I guess we'll learn what was said to spark all that..  Though I gotta say if Hyde was commenting on his defense, that's not good.  I mean Davis isn't the defender he used to be....and I know, I f'ing KNOW someone's going to come in with the the defensive metrics...but he's not a terrible defender.  Not great, but not a butcher.  

So if Hyde was critiquing him for making errors, criticizing the one thing he can ACTUALLY do somewhat proficiently...that might make him snap.

Bummed I missed it live, stepped out of the room for a bit.

At the end of fourth he caught the ball from Castro lackadaisically. Kind of a showboat play to end a bad inning. 

Then it looked like he had some weird footwork on the Villar error in the fifth and then followed that up with another sort of showboat type of play (both times recording the out) again after a bad inning.

The O's are getting their butts handed to them during this series. It's the manager's job to keep everyone's heads up through the storm. Between Hyde throwing the team under the bus, venting to the media, and now this - I really am starting to doubt Hyde.

If you check the thread about this on Reddit you will see numerous examples of Davis destroying bats in anger.

I want to hear both sides of the story before casting any blame. Davis hasn’t exactly been giving it his all in an effort to live up to the contract. Seemingly very little  changes (if any) in the way he approaches his at bats, and lied about working on his swing with Coolbaugh before his disastrous 2018 campaign.

Maybe Hyde is trying to motivate Davis? There’s been so much, “oh, he’s trying so hard” stuff. Definitely time for a different approach. I think Earl would approve.

Let me get this straight: You have no idea of what was said or what happened ... but you think "Earl would approve."

      What are you expecting, or what would you be pleased with for Cade Povich tonight.

      By Frobby · Posted

      I thought his line from his first start was deceptive.  He wasn’t far from having a very decent outing.   But I’m glad to see him take it up a notch this time out.   I’d still option him back to the minors today and call up a reliever.

      Gonzalez and Krook have been pitching well. Both are lefties. Krook is on the 40 man. I assume one, or both of them will be called up today. Corbin Martin probably next to be DFA'd

      It has been 2 blowups in 11 AAA games.    We saw with Fujinami last year they will overlook baseball card stats if they like the pitch metrics. As good as he's flashed, it doesn't seem like he would be completely out of consideration for a limited tactical role at some point.    We've already hit bringing Bryan Baker back. I did note Hyde took a nice guy approach in his presser about Akin.    One of the previous blowups, he'd kind of called him out about middle middle pitches.    Last night it was Akin has a good fastball, Matt Olson is great and golly gee could Olson sit fastball after that uncompetitive slider.

      Rise of the Super-Teams?

      By Frobby · Posted

      Last year at about this time, the top four teams in MLB were: TBR .690 BAL .627 TEX .627 ATL .618 This year the top four are: NYY .700 PHI .687 BAL .672 CLE .652 That’s kind of crazy good   The top four teams this year are on pace to win 113, 111, 109 and 106 games, respectively. History tells us that most or all of these teams will fall off their pace eventually   But it certainly feels like these teams have separated themselves from the pack.

      Remember Eddie Rogers? I was at a BaySox game in 2000, looking at the roster, and was like "Man, this kid is 18 years old and holding his own in AA. He's going to be a star!" But then two things happened: he never really developed, and come to find out he was three years older than his fake Dominincan Republic docs said he was.  But he can always say that he had a Major League season with a 5.000 OPS. Let's see somebody top that.

      It's 27, but like I said, roughly 26-31 is fairly flat if you average across all MLB players.  Some studies come up with some other age (usually older), but they're often addressing survivor bias incorrectly. They'll just look at productivity by age of MLB players, and not account for playing time. For example, you might find that 33-year-olds hit about as well as 27-year-olds, but that there are three times as many 27-year-olds in the league because 2/3rds of the 33-year-olds have been weeded out of the majors and are providing zero value. And the ones left are the best of the lot. So when doing an aging study you need to add a bunch of ballast to account for that effect in those age groups.
