Let’s give him some love. In July, he’s given up just 15 hits and seven runs in 19 innings. Impressive, isn’t it? Okay, now let’s burst that bubble: he’s walked 13 and struck out just eight over that stretch. That ERA will skyrocket soon enough. Davis has lost 10 of his 20 starts this year, and with his propensity to walk a pile of batters every game, plus his .300 BAA, trouble will ensue because he’s only managing 6.2 Ks/9 – his lowest rate since 2003 – and not high enough to compensate. Davis’ command is just rancid this year and looks to be getting worse. Steer clear. [...] [...] Okay, we’ve dragged Doug Davis through the mud all year. Let’s give him some love.
