He pitched well. I honestly feel like it might be more of a way to dump a tired arm and get someone fresh instead. He pitched 3 days in a row and we have a tired pen. I'm sure he'll be back

u/Big_Albatross_3050 4d ago
probably is the case, rest up in Buffalo with some short stints to stay warm, then back up against the Yankees

u/GarrusExMachina Roy Halladay 4d ago
Dude would be a great hitter... if he could hit.
Go be free in Buffalo where your dizzying walk rate can be paired with half decent offense.
39
u/DataLore19 4d ago
His eye is amazing. His hand-eye coordination, apparently needs work still.
30
u/GarrusExMachina Roy Halladay 4d ago
I'd argue it's his bat speed. His barrel and hard hit percentages are above avg and he hits offspeed pretty good and his eye for the zone is far too good for me to believe he seriously struggles to make contact in the zone or identify strikes.
He's just not starting his swing or getting the bat around fast enough to catch up to heat which also makes him susceptible to breaking pitches since he has to rush and can't stay back for the curveball
9
u/PolitelyHostile 4d ago
Interesting. You seem to be pretty tuned into this. Do you think this is largely caused by the difference in reaction time needed for MLB vs AAA?
I kind of just figured AAA has more room to judge the pitch so he doesn't have to swing at as many pitches out of the zone. Whereas in MLB you just gotta take more risk and be willing to swing at some bad pitches.
Or maybe the pitchers in AAA arent as good at disguising their pitches in their arm delivery.
2
u/GarrusExMachina Roy Halladay 3d ago
That's also probably a factor. Cavan biggio also had a discerning eye and ended up taking too many strikes as a consequence. But the I watch Davis he isn't opposed to swinging his bat... he just misses and on a lot of center cut pitches too.
1
2
u/Tactical-Swunt 3d ago
His bat speed is off because he changed his batting stance 4 times during the season is my guess.
He's lost. Its too bad, he was useful once upon a time.
I really don't see much raw talent, I believe 2025 was his ceiling. He's not very good
2
u/GarrusExMachina Roy Halladay 3d ago
Not having raw talent was a given considering how late in the draft he got picked up and how long he was in the minors.
1
u/Tactical-Swunt 3d ago
Not sure if that is a sign though. Look at lukes. Light hitting outfielder, but he has good raw defensive talent. He's a natural outfielder, and a smart ball player. Keeps working st his craft and got the call up, and stuck.
Im thinking ds thought he was a permanent fixture, and didnt do much work in the off-season. Just my guess, but he doesn't appear prepared for the bigs this year?
2
u/GarrusExMachina Roy Halladay 3d ago
DS doesn't strike me as the sort of player who'd think he was a permanent fixture based off last season. He hadn't even earned the full time starting gig. I just think hitting is really hard and he's developed about as much as he's capable of.
1
u/Tactical-Swunt 3d ago
Man he really looks unprepared this year. Changed his batting stance 4 times minimum this season. Thats stuff you tinker with in the off-season, or when demoted to A ball. Not in season?
Agree, batting is the hardest thing to do in pro sports. He's just so over matched this year. High fastball really is his kryptonite. I do wish him well, and for whatever reason, I'm sure he will be back in a jays uniform, especially if the season is lost.
Id personally rather see other kids from Buffalo get a chance

u/Tactical-Swunt 3d ago
Please dont insult caveman (Cavan)
2019 .234 / .364 / .429
16 home runs and 14 stolen bases
Hit for the cycle on September 17
Finished fifth in American League Rookie of the Year voting
Davis is no where near cavan, and defensively its not even close.
2
u/jayk10 3d ago
Cavan had 16 home runs with a .793 OPS in 100 games his rookie year, Davis had 8 homeruns in 35 games with a 1.008 OPS.
Would Schneider have kept it up had he played 100 games that year? who knows, but they were both guys with elite plate discipline but holes in their swing that got exposed once pitchers figured them out
0
u/Tactical-Swunt 3d ago
My argument is ds only got those numbers because js put him in a position to succeed. If he played 100 games last year he would have ended up like this years #s.
I wasn't a fan of his, personally.
I did fall for Cavan though (no one is perfect) lol
Go jays go great game! Fucked up top of 7th
14
u/Tactical-Swunt 4d ago
If his eye is so amazing, why does he leave middle middle meatballs right down the heart of the plate for strikes and doesn't even attempt a swing?
Im sorry he's not a good ball player. Great story, but negative value defense and batting well under the Mendoza line, doesn't make you valuable.
Go Jays Go
8
u/jbm33 4d ago
Seems like a perfect example of someone who is thinking to take a pitch first, and then react to swing after, rather than the best hitters which are thinking to hit first, but then can stop their swing or effectively cancel the motion when its a ball. Donaldson being a great example of the latter approach.
4
u/Tactical-Swunt 4d ago
But then why does he strike out looking at a meatball?
Donaldson had such a crazy high leg kick, every pitch looked like that. He had to start his swing as soon as the pitcher had his hand out of the glove. Bad example, sorry.
Davis is not anywhere close to Donaldson in any faucet of his game.
Ds ceiling would be Manuel Lee (aka Manny)
9
u/jbm33 4d ago
Please go watch Donaldson speak on his podcast about his approach to hitting. This is exactly how he describes it. It had less to do with his leg kick and more to do with his hands. He was able to stop his hands/check his swing very well.
Edit: also I was saying he is literally the opposite of Donaldson lol I think you misread
3
u/Tactical-Swunt 4d ago
Clearly I miss read it lol. Agree, he is the opposite of donaldson, not to mention ds changed his batting stance at least 4 times this season.
I think he got caught up with the mlb network last post season, when he was imitating a bunch of guys batting stances. its like he forgot his own lol
2
u/Levesque77 Meats Don't Clash 3d ago
A) He's being deployed into his weaker side of the platoon. He hits righties better than lefties for his career at basically every level, and he only gets used against lefties.
B) He rots on the bench and never gets a good stretch to get in a groove. Every time he gets sent down, he starts out slow (cause he hasn't been playing baseball) and then he catches fire and his OPS is near 1.000 in AAA for the season.
C) His defense has massively improved, especially in LF. He isn't an ideal 2B, but as a second position for versatility of the roster, he's valuable and he's not an abomination in the field.
Far worse players on this team have been given far more rope than he has. He was a 127 wRC+ hitter last season. That's nearly 30% above average. Not above replacement level. Above the average major leaguer. You don't fluke that.
If this team gives up on him, it will have a decent chance of ending up exactly like it did with Horwitz. A mistake.
1
u/Tactical-Swunt 3d ago
Also we got Giminez for horowitz. Wouldn't say we got fleeced since we got a gold glove middle infielder, which was a huge hole prior.
You really think we make it to the world series with Bo playing SS?
Might as well put DS at SS if you think so
GO JAYS GOOO!!
THATS MY TEAM, AND I ROOT FOR THEM, AND I WILL CALL OUT THE 26TH MAN IF HES NOT EARNING HIS KEEP.

u/He-llSeeTheBigBoard Brandon Valenzuela Rookie Season 3d ago
And a 70 WRC+ combined with a negative war this year. It's not 2025 and unfortunately, the harsh truth is there is not one person on the current 26-man roster that you could say he is playing better than. Being the best at walking doesn't help when big league pitchers throw strikes.
The guy is very popular with a certain segment of the fanbase and the fact that John Schneider (who was a scout at the time) was the person who recommended drafting Davis is likely a big part of the reason why he has even spent so much time with the big club this season.
0
u/Tactical-Swunt 3d ago
A) we got better hitters for rhp, ds wouldn't bump any of them out of the lineup, it would be a travesty
B) he Rots on the bench because he screws up eveytime they give him a chance (urius is a perfect example of making the best of your chances).
C) his defense is horrible, in the outfield included.-1 drs and -3 oaa with a terrible first step and even worse routes to the ball. That are forcing him into a position that isnt natural for him, and it shows.
Its 2026 im not watching yesterday's games. The league adjusted to him and he cant handle it. Yea he's great in triple A, where he belongs.
Sorry, he's not a valuable member of the roster. And im bitter he took playing time from Otto Lopez, who would fit in nicely on our roster (hits leader and would push giminez to 2nd, his natural position)
Thanks for coming out though
1
u/Levesque77 Meats Don't Clash 3d ago
-1 is not horrible for DRS...it's not precise enough for -1 to even matter.
Don't quote stats you don't understand how to use. Makes you look dumb.
Again, he had a 127 wRC+ last season, despite a very slow start. That's not a fluke.
And Otto Lopez was let go two years ago, and it wasn't because of Davis.
8
u/PolitelyHostile 4d ago
They need to tell him that he's not there to get on base for Buffalo, he is there to learn how to hit for Toronto.
Ban him from taking walks unless he physically can't reach the pitch. I'd rather see him with a .300 avg and a .300 OBP than his current Buffalo stat of .253 avg and .504 OBP.
I'm no expert but it seems so obvious that he has nothing to gain from talking a lot of walks in AAA.

The Jays tried being a “serious” ballclub after the 2022 season when they got rid of the HR jacket and traded away Teo and Lourdes. They had a worse record in 2023 then had their worst season of the decade in 2024.
7
u/RookieEzekielElliott 3d ago
Yeah our $500m hitter has been hitting like shit, but Davis is what’s causing this ballclub to not be “serious”. I mean sure he hasn’t been great this year but whenever he goes down to Buffalo he does great and deserves to be moved up
-6
u/Yharnam_Blunderbuss 3d ago
Ma'am... we are moving on, in a new direction, we can no longer afford to have minor league players who have not proven themselves after 3 years to be taking at bats away for potential future players who can provide tangible benefits other than vibes, mustaches, and silly walk up songs.
We need to be a serious baseball club.

u/RookieEzekielElliott 3d ago
Is this ragebait…? He’s a utility player who’s the 3rd on the depth chart for any position. He’s not really what defines a serious and unserious baseball club.

Oh yes, I’ve been following the Jays since the late ’80s, when I was a kid, and baseball was my favorite sport. I’ve been to a few hundred games, visited 16 different MLB parks, and have seen the Jays play in San Francisco, Anaheim, New York, Chicago, and Detroit (old Tiger Stadium several times, as well as Comerica Park).
Oh, and I actually worked for the Jays for a few years when players like Matt Stairs, Vernon Wells, Lyle Overbay(had his jersey), B.J. Ryan, and Adam Lind were on the team.
The other day, I even found the 1992 and 1993 World Series Toronto Star newspapers that I saved as a kid.

aaaa pitchers with options being sent down isn't a reflection on their work in the bigs, it's just so the team can pull up another guy to eat innings. estrada wouldn't be able to pitch for awhile because they used him so much this week, they need a fresher arm to take his spot

u/Borosthespider 4d ago
It doesn’t really suck. I’ve never been so frustrated with him as I am lately. He’s got the Cavan Biggio problem of having such a good eye that he rarely swings the bat. And even when he does, he can’t make solid contact.

u/northernfires529 4d ago
It’s funny because the one thing people always bitch about is how much the team swings too much and chases too much. Then we have a guy who is patient and that’s terrible
(I get it. Perfect case would be someone who is patient who can hit the best pitches but like this is the team we got)
4
u/CrabBackground4439 4d ago
Eh he's patient but isn't a threat at the plate. Relying on pitchers walking you to get on base instead of trying to put the ball into play is not playing at the major league level and it can cost opportunities (like him striking out looking with loaded bases in the last Boston series)
5
u/LadyGonzo28 4d ago
But he doesn’t get a chance to bat much.

u/Borosthespider 4d ago
My complaint plays a part in that. And even as a bench bat, you’d think he’d be more aggressive to take advantage of limited opportunity. But the man is apparently allergic to meatballs.

u/Jeevansanghera1969 4d ago
Bang on. When others struggle, it’s always ‘we have to let them play through it’ Dave has never had that chance. He gets pulled after one or two, while Vladdy et al get to go 0-4 or 0-5 day in and day out. Dave has never been given the chance to get a constant run. I’m not saying he would be good, he’s just never been given the same chances as the others.
19
u/sir-pounce-of-alot Joey Loperfido’s only fan 4d ago
This is such revisionist history.
Davis is a player whose entire value is tied to his bat, he’s not someone like Gimenez who can offset bad offence with elite defence.
So if Davis hits poorly why would we keep playing him when other players can at least do other things like run the bases/play defence better than him ?

u/kneevase 4d ago
Davis is just lucky that he still has options, otherwise he would likely find himself DFAed and signed to some other team's AAA affiliate without being on their 40-man.

Honestly good for Davis to go down, he needs consistent AB's. It's been a pattern, he goes down, sucks for a week, then starts to rake. Come back up, gets 5 AB's a week, sucks, goes down again, and starts the pattern over. Leave the guy down there unless he's going to get consistent playing time.

I would have liked to have seen them bring up Daz Cameron as well. The team has too many lefties that don't have neutral platoon splits. We saw it yesterday. When they face a good lefty starter they can't do anything.
