How many HRs will Chris Davis end up with?

[Fro Joe]

Davis is the eighth player in major-league history to have 30 homers before the end of June, joining Babe Ruth (1928, 1930), Ken Griffey Jr. (1994, 1998), Mark McGwire (1998), Sammy Sosa (1998-1999), Luis Gonzalez (2001), Barry Bonds (2001) and Albert Pujols (2009). That's pretty elite company.

Babe Ruth ended up with 54 in 1928 and 47 in 1930. Griffey had 40 in an injury shortened 1994 and 56 in 1998. McGwire had 70 in 1998. Sosa had 66 in 1998 and 63 in 1999. Gonzalez finished with 57 in 2001. Pujols ended up with 47 in 2009.

My next question is what is he on?

My next question is what is he on?

MLB testing has come a long way. He could very well be on something, but he's 27 and just starting to get to the age that males typically peak in strength at. He also plays in a bandbox and has a good supporting lineup around him.

A top trainer Mark Rippetoe has been quoted as saying, "Any male can bench 300, squat 400, and dead lift 500 naturally if given 5 years proper training." Several other top trainers have agreed with him. Just some food for thought on what's possible without assistance.

That's a good point. I hope he's not juicing though.


I think he'll end up in the low 40's. the second half of the season is the hardest. Plus the O's will start playing more pressure filled games as that AL East race tightens up.

 

[Marshenko]

I'll go 44. If you look at his career numbers, July and August are terrible, terrible months for him historically.... like .710 OPS terrible.

 

[Mike Bradley]

45 hrs / 126 rbi

 

[herts9]

47. won't quite get to brady anderson.

 

[John1007]

chris davis has 30 hr's. the marlins have 29 wins...

the best chris davis hr so far was his broken bat HR last year:

http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/sto...of-baltimore-orioles-hits-broken-bat-home-run

Ill say he hits 51. just because I cant stand the fact that brady anderson holds the O's single season record at 50. Just doesn't seem right.

A billion.

Prayeroids

 

[EdFred]

Two less than Miggy.

 

[Fro Joe]

I love homers.

 

[hbwb]

I'm gonna say forth nine and a half.

 

[Marshenko]

Chris Davis measures his HR in cubits

 

[EdFred]

I love homers.

We know. You started a thrad about them.

 

[SevenBizzos]

I think he'll get to 50. His OPS is over 1.1 now which is probably not sustainable. That's Ruth territory.

 

[Fro Joe]

Got 31 on his first swing tonight. He will probably cool off, but right now he's on another level.

 

[whiteknight]

It's a pleasure to get to watch him swing night after night. His swing is $$$$$.

 

[trip]

did i just hear 38 doubles already for one oriole?

 

[TwistITup]

Manny m is crushing too.. davis pry wont catch miggy in ba tho

 

[Marshenko]

Got 31 on his first swing tonight. He will probably cool off, but right now he's on another level.

Yeah... one of the all-time great first halfs without a doubt. ****ing .728 SLG, really?

did i just hear 38 doubles already for one oriole?

Yeah Machado. On pace to break the MLB record.

 

[Triple7]

His swing has changed quite a bit since he left the Rangers. Obviously.
Looks smooth now.
50

 

[Marshenko]

As long as they finish 2nd in the division, he can hit 80 for all I care.

ESPN astonished to report that the expansion Orioles in their first year of existence just swept the Yankees. New York is still predicted to win 109 games this season, and face Boston in the World Series. Somehow.

 

[AmazingBats]

49 HR but he is on roids. He just comes out of nowhere to hit 30HR before June. Just like Melky came out of nowhere last year to crush the ball then he got busted for roids. Davis will too sooner or later

except melky hit all of 11 home runs, yeah he was crushing it.

Every player that ever lived up to their potential is on steroids. Ever.

Ted Williams injected shark insulin into his bladder.

 

[trip]

steroids don't help you hit the ball any more squarely you retard

he's got a 270 lifetime average, i doubt he was flying out to the warning track too much before the last two years

Jesus loves moonshots. Money shots too, but they don't teach you that in the Bible.
