Some Things That Have To Be Said
OK they don’t have to be said, but I want to say them. Same thing, right?
Khrisistent
First off, you have to laugh at Khris Davis and his incredible commitment to batting exactly .247. This is a guy who, quite literally, batted exactly .247 in 2015, 2016, and 2017, but who found himself batting a robust .260 after the game on August 21st. Undaunted, the A’s DH has gone 2 for 34 since then to lower his batting average to .248. He’s gonna do it, folks. You can pencil the guy in for 40+ HRs each season, but you can put the .247 batting average in pen.
