chris-davis Stories - McCovey Chronicles
Giants/Rangers Series Preview
For some generations: "Where were you when Kennedy was shot?" For ours: "Where were you when the first interleague game was played?" Stan Javier: First interleague home run. Mark Gardner: First interleague win (140 pitches!). Rod Beck: First interleague save (four pitches!). Glenallen Hill: First...
Question
Does anyone else get a queasy feeling when someone says, "How about if we trade Chris Davis for..."? He's the one guy for me right now that, for whatever reason, I really don't want to see dealt. I'd rather hear talk of trading Josh Hamilton or Ian Kinsler. Or Neftali Feliz or Derek Holland. Or...
Wednesday a.m. stuff
10 games left in the season. The Rangers are 2 under .500, 4 up on Oakland. You have to give the team credit, though...they don't quit. Down 2 in the bottom of the 9th in a meaningless game, Marlon Byrd comes through with a game-tying triple, and appears likely to exceed last season's OBP and...
AJM's theory of the day
Chris Davis is considered an elite hitting prospect, and has hit well in the majors. He's been in the majors a couple of months now. He's hitting 8th or 9th in the order, generally, supposedly because he's less experienced and needs to be down there. Joaquin Arias is considered an elite fielding...
Tuesday morning things
Dark day today. The Rangers waste a nice performance from Scott Feldman, and even worse, Ian Kinsler appears to be done for the year. That really sucks. Kinsler is supposed to see a specialist today, and in the meantime, it sounds like Travis Metcalf will be the regular third baseman until Hank...
Monday a.m. things
Back to a game below .500. Dustin Nippert looked terrific for a couple of innings, then got pounded. There was excitement at the end, although Brandon Boggs got screwed on a called strike that should have been a ball (and which would have brought Josh Hamilton up as the winning run, rather than...
Sunday morning things
Once again, the Rangers are in a position to sweep the A's. They've failed to win game 3 every time that opportunity has arisen against Oakland this season. We'll see if Eric Hurley can end that streak today. Josh Hamilton is impressed with Chris Davis's power. Chris Davis is pretty...
Rob Neyer luvs him some Chris Davis
From Rob Neyer today: Hank Blalock, who moved to first base earlier this season because he wasn't much of a third baseman, is moving back to third base. But it's the right move, even though his replacement, Ramon Vazquez, has been a wonderful surprise. Why is it the right move? Because Vazquez...
Friday a.m. things
I'm still sitting here trying to figure out why in the world you'd take the bat out of Ian Kinsler's hands in the 11th inning, in order to let Ramon Vazquez and Michael Young try to bring the runners home instead. Particularly with a guy like K-Rod who is difficult to bunt against and who gets a...
Saturday morning things
Some good things from yesterday's game, including Chris Davis's first major league home run and another solid performance from the bullpen. But Kason Gabbard had no command once again, and now on the year has 39 walks against 33 strikeouts, a ratio that is simply untenable. With Luis Mendoza...
