HR third straight game

[We Got The Whole 9]

Oh horsefeathers I'm getting legitimately excited. Just last week he had only 1 HR but his numbers were a powder keg ready to explode and now he's blowing em up. OPS raised 100 pts basically to 943.

 

BTW Murray went back to back with him

@1908_Cubs Any insight on the under the hood stuff to tell us if we should be getting excited about this or not?

When I looked like a week ago everything in Davis' profile looked good except the contact numbers.  However those were so awful as to be more or less disqualifying.  I see now that they are still very bad, but like at least they're low-end MLB caliber.  I can't easily pull trending contact numbers but it's pretty clear they're on the way up.  Hopefully that continues as he knocks off more and more rust.

Mason McGwire got the walks under control today but he’s given up a few homers instead: 4 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 2 HR

Leonel Espinoza with a walk and a HR.

I'll do a deep dive in a bit! Sorry I've been so absent. I've had state testing (no tech at work), end of the school year stuff and I also run the local adult baseball league in Lexington,KY so I've been handling the registration process (deadline is tonight) - and adults might be worse than middle schoolers. Give me...a day? I'll give some insight.

Hey, I expect timely responses when I ask you to do my homework for free fella! No worries.  Hell, I couldn't even get a game thread up in a timely fashion because of work shenanigans so I get it.
