Buck's got a tough decision to make on Davis. He's look lost at the plate all season and is now looking totally helpless. At the very least, he's got to move him out of the 2nd spot and put him near the bottom. The problem: with whom do you replace him ?

 

He needs to so something while we wait for Machado to return.

It's time to sit him. Bases loaded and no outs..all they need is a fly ball and they win. He keeps striking out like crazy with men on. He can' t hit.

I don't get why buck doesn't just rearrange. Why do we need anyone at the #2 spot between markakis and Jones? It's like when he had Pearce up there (before Pearce got hot) ... Its only pushing Cruz back a short and making it less likely her gets an at bat.

 

But other thought... Hardy. Hitting for average this year and power coming back.

 

Can't sit Davis without a replacement by the way... And Pearce isn't cutting it now either. Davis had a good (or better) home stand. This game can't be his final undoing. Not like anyone else was tearing it up for us last night

I just think Buck is so set on keeping his lineup the way he has it set and plugging replacements in at those spots where necessary. I don't blame him, but Davis just isn't a #2, even when hitting well.

 

Agreed on not sitting him, though.

But hard to put that on Davis not in this instance but because this team has done that so much all year. Last week, I forget which game, we had the bases loaded TWICE in the first three innings - both times with no outs. Both times we scored ZERO runs. Cruz whiffed. Jones whiffed. Double play balls. You name it, they did. And Davis was a part but hardly the only part.

Yes, but Davis is living below the Mendoza line and consistently whiffing with men in scoring position. The others.......yes but not so much.

 

It's a team sport and Buck needs to juggle the lineup and either take Davis out or stick him at the bottom. Time to nip this in the bud.
