How many HRs will Chris Davis end up with?

[3XC]

Davis' big improvement coincided with playing time. Imagine that. A guy becomes more consistent when he's getting 25-30 plate appearances a week, instead of 8-10.

 

[ntz]

don't be so naive 3xc, i know what's really going on. i have the inside info.

 

[trip]

like when bautista was going nuts the last two years, nobody (that I heard) was crying and saying he must be on steroids.. just has one of those swings that stays in the strike zone and he's been connecting

like raul ibanez this year, all or nothing but he's getting more alls than nothings at this point.

 

[Marshenko]

A lot of people were saying Bautista was probably on steroids. A lot of people still say that.

 

[trip]

not being surrounded by the AL east is nice.

 

[HE15MAN]

Playing in a small home ballpark never hurts either

 

[trip]

I would not put that ballpark even in the top 10 shortest.

315 down the rf line is short, but then there's like a 20 foot wall.

 

[trip]

I'd even go so far as to say every other park in the AL east is smaller

 

[Marshenko]

Why guess?

 

[trip]

now someone who isn't on their phone figure out the square footage beyond the infield of each of those parks

 

[3XC]

Yankee stadiums RF power alley is a complete joke, Fenway is configured like baboon ass because its 100 years old and was shoehorned into a plot of land that is too small for a baseball stadium. Yankee stadium has no such excuse. Nothing but a cloying attempt to pander by building a faux-classic stadium with the same dimensions as the old one but new airflows and such as the Iraq that let fly ball outs become wall scrapers.

 

[Marshenko]

Yankee Stadium isn't even the same dimensions though, they actually tinkered with the RF wall. Its subtle from looking at in the diagrams but it happened. Also the airflow.

It's the power alleys that makes it a hitter's haven. I've seen a game there and the power alleys may even be shorter than they are listed at. It's a nice ballpark though and has a ton of stuff to do around the stadium.

 

[trip]

lol its not height and weight of pro wrestlers, if their power alleys were falsely represented I'd think there would be some folks take serious issue to that

You're correct. I think it's a Federal crime.

 

[trip]

I mean it's the same thing as making a football field 2.8 yards per hash instead of three.

Not really. Football fields have to be a certain size. Outfield dimensions well not so much.

The new one is even cheaper, look at that power alley. That's criminal.

When Raul Ibanez knocked Baltimore out of the ALDS with a 330 foot can of corn I was done. That's a home run in 1 out of 30 MLB stadiums, even in the dozen gimmicky Camden Yards ripoffs with preposterous dimensions.

 

[Marshenko]

Bonds could've hit 100 in the new Yankee Stadium.

The old one only seemed to be bad done the line. The power alley is a joke in the new one.

You might not be that far off.

 

[Fro Joe]

How long until the dimensions are brought in at Marlins Park?

 

[ntz]

do you want to know the terrifying truth, or do you want to see me sock a few dingers

 

[SGT Hulka]

53, dude is a roided up beast

 

[Richie B]

75. New record

 

[Marshenko]

I'd like to change my answer

 

[travisdecpn]

He would have been intentionally walked 500 times to go with those 100 HR's.

 

[johnnySoftball3]

I'd like to change my answer

lol whats he got 37 now

 

[T.Heck]

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

Old bump but Davis always had big time pop...... just couldnt hit the ball.

 

[Illegal pitcher]

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

They certainly can, because a stronger person can swing the bat faster, and swinging the bat faster allows you to start your swing later. Swinging later makes it easier to make contact, easier to make good contact, and easier to lay off of bad pitches.

 

[Treb]

37. He his a HR tomorrow and tears his ACL running the bases.
