He's always had this potential, apparently the Rangers' hitting coaches just all suck ass.
Definitely roids. Any time you see a player have such an explosion in numbers something is going on for sure. These guys make enough money to have chemists make up an undetectable concoction that is undetectable by MLB.
Cabrera's definitely on the roids too, tbh...
uh nope... Cabrera didn't suddenly explode and became the best hitter in the league
Davis is on my fantasy team. Thus, I hope he gets away with it until the season ends
hope he breaks bonds record
Not gonna happen. He can't keep up this pace. He is going to blow a hammy or something tbh.
Pretty much this. He's one of the few bright spots saving my team right now.
Musta been on the down low yesterday, because he kinda sucked today.
Slug Selig the owners puppet and MLB Inc. make sure the proper payments are made.
Nothing happens.
There's nothing in the advanced statistics to indicate that Davis is suddenly benefitting from increased power as a result of steroids. He's just playing more and making contact more.
Dude hes on pace to break Bonds record that is all we need to know... He's ing juicing. Period.
Well I can't argue with "period."
I agree with you. We always knew he had the power - he just had a problem making contact. He destroyed in AAA but never seemed to be able to put it together in the bigs until last year.
tf are you talking about?
His ave and HRs per at bat are way the up.
Possible PED give you a quicker bat so as to make contact. Whereas before that pitch just got by you or was fielded for an out.
Look if he did make some strategy adjustment, great. Very su ious.
Can't argue with "ave" being up either. Clearly juicing.
Y'all got me.
1 out of 13 bats homerun
Exactly ^. Christ.
sucks for baseball players nowadays that we all just assume a good season equals cheating.
I actually think he's clean and he's just having some crazy year where everything is working for him. His average has already started to slide over the past month, so he'll start coming back down to earth as far as BA goes. And his strikeouts are still very high as you'd expect. He's just hitting the crap out of the ball when he does make contact. And it doesn't hurt where he plays. Cambden and at least 3 of the other 4 AL East stadiums are pretty homerun friendly, especially for a power lefty bat. He has well over 100 games in those 4 ballparks. Robbie Cano has had the same fortune over his career. Same with Papi. Davis has naturally tremendous power, and he's in a good situation and on a team and in a home ballpark that really helps. I just think it's one of those years for the guy, and perhaps the type of season he'll never come close to again in his career.
But to suggest there are no advanced stats that suggest something funky is going on is ridiculous. Pretty much everything about his stats suggest something su ious. 200 points higher slugging percentage than his career average. Nearly 300 points higher OPS than his career average. The homerun rate nearly doubling his career average. As of the all stra break, he's hitting a HR every 9.3 ABs. The only guys in the history of baseball to have a better homerun rate for a season are Babe Ruth, Jim Thome, and accused and/or alleged dopers Bonds, McGwire, and Sosa. His homerun per fly ball ratio about 2/3 higher than his career average (but that is what I pointed to when I talked about the ballparks in the AL East). But more interesting than those numbers is that his BABIP and line drive rate are right in line with the rest of his career, which suggests he's not just getting lucky. It's not like he's getting way more lucky bounces or he's hitting way more line drives fielders can't get to. It's not luck. If it's not luck based on what he's done in his career, it looks even more su ious.
So even though I personally have a hunch that he's clean, there's no way you can look at his numbers (standard or advanced) and say there doesn't at least "appear" to be something fishy going on.
no he isn't you in re
lol irishock
lol heath ledger
lol detroit fans butthurt that Davis will win MVP over miggy.
