Even though Sunday was technically Opening Day, Monday was the day that really felt like the true Opening Day, with tons of games going on. How exciting! The games actually count now! One of the best games of the day had to be the Orioles and Blue Jays where Mark Trumbo launched a big ol' Trumbomb to win the game for the Orioles. He ended the game going 2-5 with a HR and 2 RBI. This is what he does, and he'll probably have an awesome first half, like he always does, so enjoy it while it lasts.
Let's take a look at some of the other performances from the day:
No love for K-Davis? That’s okay, he’ll be traded from my team soon anyways :(
^ was a sad face
Surprised Khris Davis didn’t make the cut with his 2 homer performance.
On Khris Davis not being it….Maybe this got written before the As/Angels game, since Trout didn’t make the cut either. Just my guess.
We’re still working on finding the perfect format for these articles, you can expect more batters being included in future editions, which would certainly highlight any player hitting 2+ HRs.
At the end of the day though, not much changes for Davis owners – we all know he has elite power, so his exclusion is a little different than, say, if Josh Bell launched two bombs.
That makes a lot of sense. I just felt like Khris Davis is a notable person because a lot of ranking sites (this one included) are not ranking him like a 35+ HR, 90+RBI, .245 hitter. And him hitting two homers already is at least pointing towards the power being real (even if it is absurdly small sample size).
