BTW Rizzuto -- coming back to the oh-so-literary start of this thread, the Hermann Hesse novel about the medieval monks was "Narcissus and Goldmund." I wish I still had the attention span to read things like that today. But it's much more instant gratification (and probably healthier, Hesse was a disturbed guy) to tune into the MLB network. You don’t consider this forum deep and intellectual? I guess I can get that. But don’t tell me we don’t have at least one or two deeply disturbed writers here. I for one have suffered for my art...I’m doing some DIY landscaping this evening, and I’m definitely suffering... Is Goldmund the Cardinal’s firstbaseman?... |

Sweep baby! I was looking for a 6-3 start so a little behind schedule but a great bounce back sweep especially dealing with all the injuries. First real test coming up with Houston but they have been off to a slow start of their own. Tough to have to see Verlander, Cole, McHugh.

I am a bit ashamed that Chris Davis made contact three times in one game against our pitching...

Speaking of Chris Davis, Khris Davis
2013 .279 (56 games)
2014 .244
2015 .247
2016 .247
2017 .247
2018 .247
2019 .222 (to date)
Career .248
Has not reached his career average even once since that short debut...I wonder if any other player has ever had the same BA four seasons in a row (except some poor soull at .000 perhaps)...

I do recall that Ken Boyer hit 24 HR per season each season from 1961-1964...But it would be so much harder to have the same batting average year after year...

Hell hit .247 when all is said and done this year...it is known. |

Not surprisingly, the five season spread for Khris Davis is in fact the lowest variation in baseball history. Just three percentage points. Second over a five year span is Nori Aoki, who hit between .283 and .288 every year between 2012-2016. After that comes Tony Fernandez, .272-.279 between 1990-1994, and then Mookie Wilson, .271-.279 between 1981-1985. Nobody ever had the same BA four years in a row, it seems like a statistical impossibility. For the record, the wildest variation over a five year span belongs to Roy Campanella from 1952-1956. He also has second place between 1951-1955. Then comes nineteenth century player King Kelly between 1883-1887, and next is Bryce Harper between 2014-2018. The consistent guys, while decent players for the most part, aren't even marginal HOF candidates. But the volatile guys -- Campanella and Kelly are in the HOF, and Harper is at least arguably on track for a HOF career. |

That's a new one for me. |

At one point in their careers, Chris and Khris Davis had nearly identical stats, but those days are behind them now... |

That's a new one for me. Well in this case Kaybli I just stumbled into an article on the 538 website. I keep working on key words until I get the result I want. In other words, too much free time on my hands. |
