Quote from David Nevin on November 29, 2019, 7:18 amMost successful "non" strikeout pitchers will look to be "lucky" because so many balls are put into play.
We need to add a good defender at 2b and the corner outfield spots(Renfroe good last year but real?).
I'm sure Davies stats would show a lot of "soft" contact as opposed to hard hit balls.
I think that's part of the reason AJ wanted him...pitching Davies right after opponents saw Paddack and Lamet could prove troublesome for their hitters.
Mixing a soft tosser,as long as he's an effective one,in between hard throwers can certainly be effective.
Sort of the Barrolo Colon circa 2015/16 when we would go in a week long slump after facing his 65 mph slurve and 85 mph fastball.. Just kills a batters timing going Paddack/Davies/Lamet can have batters so off balanced it could be fun

Until the season starts .... I going to hype Davies as the steal of the winter for the Padres ... then hopefully continue afterwards. Consider of the past 4 years pitchers:
>500 innings ... Davies ERA was 3.95 which ranked him 35th out of only 74 pitchers with > 500 innings
BUT there is more:
AWAY ... > 250 innings ... ERA of 3.23 which ranked him 10th out of 66 (that is outstanding)
At MILLER ... > 250 innings ... ERA of 4.50 which ranked him 68th out of 80 (not outstanding)
Davies (a bit of a fly ball pitcher) moves out of Miller Park (a HR haven) to PETCO (a pitcher's park with HR depressing marine layer) .... that has a very good chance to move Davies into one of the more productive SP in MLB.

How Luis Urías Slayed a Monster
While Japan went on to win the whole shebang in storybook fashion against the United States, no team had them on the ropes more than Team Mexico, and no player gave Rōki Sasaki—AKA the “Monster of the Reiwa Era”—more trouble than Mexico’s second baseman, Brewers infielder Luis Urías.
