Mychal Givens did not look that good. Davis doubled again.

Apologies for the lazy question, but just getting home and was hoping to catch a little of the game this evening, but was that rained out? It looks like MMA on masn.

Never mind. Went to the game thread which I probably should’ve done in the first place and saw that the rain ended it.

Velocity was way down, but we've seen this before early in the year.

Early in the year? It’s July, for cryin’ out loud!

It gets late early this year.

Are people actually deluded enough to think Davis is anything but a complete waste of a roster spot who's going to inevitably be worth negative WAR? I'm not mad about it at this point, since there's no reason to get rid of him yet. I've accepted it.

Yeah he mostly stinks in ST. He has a real issue with getting amped up in ST games and non-save situations sometimes. Hopefully he finds his velocity because 92 ain't gonna cut it.

What are you talking about?? Didn’t you see him mash that glorified high school pitching in spring training???

I have full confidence in Davis being able to avoid being worth negative WAR if used in the correct manner.

Early in the season for his arm strength.

Fully agree. 

Man, though.. he is straight up JJ Hardy in the wheels department these days. Looked like he was running through cream cheese last night.
