Idk if y’all will see this or if you can even go back and do it but you should tag that Davis adderall prescription vid when you mention it

[@thepoisonouspotato3631]

Don’t forget Altuve started terrible in the 2022 postseason, in the ALCS he started getting on base more and in the world series he only got on base, but no home runs and no RBI’S

One of the best replies I’ve read of all time 😂😂😂

When the hell did Morgan and Morgan start sponsoring KZbinrs?! 😂😂😂 I guess it’s better than Raid Shadow Legends

@@ajkfalathey may not bill you if you lose but if you win you are billed out the wazoo till you probably would have been better off never suing. Or they have you pay for fees that aren’t technically billable hours but find it for another reason.

​@@bullshark3771Usually in cases where you pay nothing if you lose, if you win they take a percentage. And if you don't sue good luck with those medical bills.

Even the great Sadaharu Oh started his pro career with 0 for 27 in his first year. He went on to hit 868 homers in the NPB.

[@IOWAHAWKEYES2020]

Lester was such an interesting player…solid hitting pitcher with the horrendous streak to start his career and a tough case of the yips when throwing to bases

[@Ibhenriksen]

Chris Davis went into a horrible slump but yes his hitless streak was incredibly unlikely. I think Foolish Baseball covered his string of unbelievably bad luck. It was like a 1 in a million shot. If you haven't seen it, it will blow your mind.

[@xypherus777]

Yeah the math was literally 1 in a million

[@magicoddeffect]

Very important to note that Chris Davis went downhill so far from his peak years because the MLB screwed him over. He has ADHD and was taking Adderall as prescribed by a doctor for his entire career -- until MLB suddenly declared it a prohibited medication and refused to approve his exemption. The league denied him treatment for a diagnosed medical issue. He went out there and kept playing to get his paycheck, and I would've done the exact same thing in that situation. It's cruel what the league did to him and his "abysmal" stats should never be separated from that context.

[@elchancho8432]

Yeah MLB fucked him over

[@Fly-The-W]

Did you watch the video lol? He went over that

[@BobGenghisKahn]

I love your content, but have you tried working on your inflection? The way you consistently emphasize and change your pitch on the last word of a sentence or phrase is distracting.

[@graham2977]

It's extremely unnatural. I've shared his content with friends before and the response I get isn't about the video, rather "why does he talk like that"

[@nickfisher8569]

I still don’t understand why Chris Davis wasn’t able to use aderall. That’s one of the most common ADHD treatments. There’s no reason he shouldn’t have been allowed to use it

[@magicoddeffect]

It's incredibly unfair that he was prevented from using a medication that he had already been using. His terrible statistical performances should never be isolated from the context of MLB refusing to let him get treated for his ADHD.

[@whitemamba0089]

Yea esspecially being on it for years it turns your brain to mush when u aint got it ​@@magicoddeffect

[@lukec6d9]

I love that the chris davis thing exists in spite of the odds of it happening only because the mlb has been around for so long and something like that was bound to happen

[@jessehammer123]

Across parts of four consecutive starts (including his two consecutive no-hitters) in June 1938, Johnny Vander Meer induced an 0-62 by hitters (though with 13 walks)*. I think that beats Chris Davis’ 0-54. But if I can find some pitcher beating that, I’ll try. * Over a full six starts including those two no-hitters (5/27-6/19), hitters went 17-178 off him (though with 24 walks). Highly doubt this is the best 6-start stretch of all time, but I don’t have Stathead to confirm any other guesses I might have automatically.

[@babat304]

Wrong about Willie Mays. He was 0-12 to start until his homerun off Warren Spahn for his first hit of the career.

[@InglouriousBradsterd]

Getting a single hit against MLB pitching is extremely difficult. Less than .002 of the population have ever done it. You just have to swing out of it..

[@elchancho8432]

MLB are assholes for not letting him treat his ADHD Hopefully one day it’ll be a lawsuit or something

[@whitemamba0089]

Lol davis has plenty of money no need for that

[@sanborghini]

Baseball is such a great game ⚾

[@garyreddenjr.6294]

[@tqnohe]

Davis screwed up Davis’ career. And the Orioles.

[@ihavesoul4real]

Bababa bA BA. Every sentence ending just like this. Da da da da da DADA. It’s like youre singing a tune. I think I could go 0-1000 in little league before understanding how to train my voice to do this weird youtuber robot cadence.

Go listen to your mom she’s ch ch ch choking

[@SpideyTaco73]

Do you play mlb the show

[@CarloFerraro]

This happens because bunt, as well as SB, have been practically eliminated from the game.

[@lloydzufelt7514]

Did Tony Gwynn ever go 0-20??

[@tqnohe]

So you make a good case that Davis was underpaid for his big home runs seasons. But baseball is a game of “what have you done for me lately? Well, in 2013 he crushed 53 home runs. And in 2015 he hit 47. Not to mention the 26 in 2014. But clearly, in the winter of 2015-16 everyone in baseball holding the checkbook saw something terribly wrong with Chris Davis in spite of those 126 home runs in the previous three years. Because come February 2016, he was still a free agent. He couldn’t hit against the shift. He refused to learn how to become a switch hitter. He refused to learn how to bunt for hits. He couldn’t pull to the opposite field. He was a top professional in the game and did nothing to make himself valuable to teams. So in February 2016 with zero offers from 29 other teams, the Angelos Orioles saw fit to break open their piggy bank and give him the, then, most lucrative contract in the game. The Orioles could have offered Davis the Major League Minimum with certain milestone to be met if he wanted annual extensions. And of course not long after that, the Orioles had to be entirely dismantled and we had to suffer through a five (or six) of the worst consecutive seasons imaginable. And the orioles are still paying him.

1962: Pitcher Bob Buhl of the Cubs and Braves went 0-for-70 for the season.

[@justingil27]

I was the worst .400 hitter my senior year of college lol

[@Joxsund]

can you please stop ending every sentence with an upper inflection? there's nothing wrong with the script or content, but god damn is that annoying.

[@notorious1_1]

Shout out foolish baseball w baseball content over there

[@fliplife67]

If they never had D shift I do when if that still happens.

[@joeycormier7489]

I’d gladly go 0-50 for the league minimum pay.

[@wet1]

Good vid, but you seriously need to switch up your inflection. Although I understand how you might think it keeps the listener engaged, emphasizing the last syllables of ALMOST ALL of your sentences is really hard to listen to. But maybe it's just me idk.

[@wet1]

Ok not just me

Bro stole the video idea and thumbnail from foolish baseball… cmon man do better.

[@shaymerten173]

I love your videos but I don’t know how it’s possible to listen to 30 minutes of your cadence. Every last word is inflected making it sound like a Gotchya tiktoc that was 10 seconds long. Its so good but it sounds like THIIIsss. And then you go ona good run and then it gets To ThE EnD of ThE sentence And ThEn YoU go Like Thiiiss “🫨🤪”

Ed Sprague of the Blue Jays had an 0-36, which is the team record. Can't remember the year.
