If you weren’t already doing so, feel free to panic about Zach Davies. Or, you know, just remain pissed about him being the financial offset the Padres duped the Cubs into accepting for Yu Darvish. After allowing five runs on six hits and four walks to the Braves on Monday, Davies now sports a 9.47 ERA and has walked more batters (15) than he’s struck out (14). That’s practically Chatwoodian and perhaps even a little ironic given different Davies is from the former Cubs starter.
Essentially Kyle Hendricks Light, Davies has simply been lit up this season as his sinker, change, cutter, and curve have all been lambasted.
