IKE DAVIS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Has Ike Davis Figured It Out?

Boy how things have changed. Earlier this week I wrote about how New York Mets first baseman Ike Davis had to be sent down to the minor leagues in order to figure things out. Well apparently I was wrong. Ironically, since I wrote that article on May 23rd, Davis has seemed to get the ship righted. Although he has not played much lately, in the first three games of the Mets four-game...

The following day, Staub will be a judge during Banner Day! We were given a chance to ask Staub one question, so I decided to ask him about the relationship with a hitting coach during a slump, and...

Time is Running Thin for Ike Davis

With his 0-for-4 performance last night in Pittsburgh, New York Mets first baseman Ike Davis is now 2-for-his-last-32 with just 1 walk and 11 strikeouts. 2012 has been a struggle for Davis ever since the first pitch on Opening Day. His batting average hasn’t eclipsed the Mendoza Line all season and it currently sits at .156. While he actually leads the team in home runs (5...

Is Ike Davis on his way out?

Davis has struggled so badly this season it’s a shock he’s even still here. It’s an even bigger shock to see his run production of 5 home runs and 15 RBI when you look at his paltry .150 batting average. Davis has to feel the pressure as Jason Bay nears a return from the DL. Ike’s poor performance looks like it has cost him a ticket back to the minors. Now that’s not something...

Why The Ike Davis Decision Must Be Made By Thursday

As Chumbawamba once sang, "Ike gets knocked down, will he get up again?" It’s no secret that Ike Davis’ hold on the everyday first baseman’s job is in serious jeopardy.  In 141 at-bats this season, Davis is the owner of a .156 batting average and .212 on-base percentage.  That’s nowhere near the production expected of a starting first baseman. ...

How the League Adjusts to Hitters Over Time

Mets first baseman Ike Davis has seen the number of fastballs thrown to him drop significantly since his rookie season in 2010. In that year, 57% of the pitches thrown to Davis were some type of fastball. So far in 2012? Only 51%. There have been only 30 seasons between 2007 and 2011 where a hitter with more than 100 plate appearances saw fewer fastballs in a season — and only...

Talk of sending Ike Davis to Triple-A continues

If you’re a diehard Ike Davis fan then you may be able to look past his struggles to start the 2012 season and proclaim that the New York Mets should stick with him at first base till he figures it out.  The reality is, that’s probably not what’s best for the Mets or Ike, who has just one hit in his last 17 at-bats and is sporting a .160 average on the season....
