Something I read in TR Sullivan's recent mailbag is an interesting addition to the ongoing Chris Davis conversation . . . . see his numbers since April 13: .268/.326/.598.
In fact, since April 13, Chris has hit safely in all but 5 games (pinch hit appearances notwithstanding). He has reached base safely via hit or walk in all but 2 games.
Not too shabby, except for the strikeouts.
I know that Chris is struggling in the strikouts department, but .268/.326/.598 and reaching safely in all but 2 games since April 13th is hardly enough to justify his benching or demotion to AAA.
(Author's note: I just realized that this is noted on LSB as well, but I'm going to post this anyways since we've been following Chris pretty closely here at HWC)

Keep bringing the strikeouts down. I'd love for both he and Hank to hold around a .270 average with the power they both bring.
ReplyDeleteOdds are he won't get demoted. I seriously hope he starts stringing together a few good weeks of the Chris Davis we came to love, (coupled with Hamilton starting to get on track and we really get this thing going) and that'll fix those ugly numbers. Again, I love his defense. Its not Tex like, but its pretty solid nonetheless. Lets see if he can keep this going...realistically we need him on the field to be the best team we can be.
Dallas Morning News blog talked that Chris switched from a 34 ounce bat to a 35 ounce one and that the switch was helping his timing .
