Although many long term deals are not good for teams as it relates to value provided. As to whether the decline in performance of those mega long term deal players relates to their motivation is impossible to measure as no player readily acknowledges they are less motivated after becoming financially wealthy beyond their wildest dreams.   But it is there nonetheless.  Davis is just a bit easier to come to that conclusion given his behavior eschewing change or attempts for improvements. 

And the changes in his physique.

He's been letting the ball travel really well.  All the way to the catcher's glove.

Ya know...  for a couple years now, post after post on this board has been dumping on Davis....  precisely because they said he was doing nothing... phoning it in. Refusing to make an effort they said

Yes, OWKNOWS,  Chris does not report to you, me, or any of the so called baseball experts on this board.  He already has done more for Baltimore baseball and  the city/state than  anyone could have dr

I have hope that now having a full season under his belt and this offseason with new regime that some respectable hitting especially the long ball will come back. Grant it I imagine he’ll still strike out at alarming rate but if his contact fly ball ratio could stay the same and those fly balls from last year and yr before can again turn into homeruns we could be in for a surprise. I have a lot of faith Sig and hope Davis listened to suggestions.

Do you still get paid? 

All suspensions are without pay.  A player receiving a lifetime ban can apply for reinstatement after one year and be eligible for reinstatement after two.

All things considered, I don't expect CD to "bulk up" extravagantly.  Not much beyond three daily protein bars instead of two in fact.

Pretty unlikely the Angelos are going to get any Jennry Meija type relief from this albatross of a contract.

Here’s an interesting chart I hadn’t seen before.    It shows Davis’ swing and take rates in different zones, radiating from the center of the plate.   Not surprisingly, it shows that Davis’ take rate on pitches in the “heart” was 38%, much higher than league average 27%.     He’s -14 runs in the heart of the plate.   https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/visuals/swing-take?playerId=448801&playerSet=hitters&year=2019

Yeah this isn’t a surprise. Like I have said before , he takes pitches right down the middle and swings at balls in the dirt.  So I don’t think there is any hope for him.  Well unless the Orioles start stealing pitch type.

Trade him to Houston for a ball of ball’s?

      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.
