So assuming Chris Davis gets 3 AB's against Scherzer, I figure that is about a 90% chance of 3 strike outs

So the real challenge is how many pitches will it take?

Scherzer is a no nonsense sort of pitcher, so I'm thinking 11 pitches to get the hat trick

What you say??

I’d say you were probably about right.

But, for what it’s worth, Davis has only struck out 9 times in 32 PA vs. Scherzer.    In each of the last two years, he’s gone 1 for 3 with one strikeout.    So maybe there’s hope.

Hyde must like individual matchup numbers. Only explanation for putting Davis in the lineup, ever.

CD is our ace in the hole for gunning for the 1:1 draft pick.

We are a better team when he doesn't play.

Maybe, but our record says that whether Davis plays is largely irrelevant.   

Overall: 44-88 (.333)

Davis starts: 25-50 (.333)

Davis plays: 31-63 (.330)

Max is rusty and working himself back into shape.  I'm thinking that CD runs into one early in the count and finds the soft underbelly right in front of phenom Juan Soto in his first AB.  Max should be outta there by his second AB.  Max is just the opener right?  If Max lasts, he will find a way to retire Chris his next AB.  I'll say 11 pitches in two AB's.

It's very likely that the Scherzer, one of the best pitchers in baseball, mows through not only Chris Davis, but just about all of the Orioles tonight ........ hurray for webbrick for stomping on the balls of a team that is well on its way to its 2nd consecutive 100-plus loss season, and particularly on the testes of their worst offensive player (Chris Davis.)

 

Then again, very few people would have believed it if you had told them at 7 PM last night that the Washington Nationals, whom were offensively the hottest team in the Majors having scored 128 Runs in their last 14 games over a 2-week stretch (an average of 9.14 Runs-Per-Game), would be shut down and out by Aaron Brooks and the Orioles' bullpen.

He also is riding an 8 at bat non-strikeout streak, which might be close to his longest of the season.   He hasn't struck out since August 18 in Boston.   He has put the ball in play 8 straight plate appearances since then (going 0 for 8).

Scherzer in his career:

Lefties OPS .716 off him

Righties OPS .577 off him

So Hyde maxed out with 7 lefties in the lineup tonight.   That's why Davis is in the lineup, not any individual Earl Weaver index card stats.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
