I guess 20 pitches might be acceptable for a player with a high contact percentage or average on balls put in play, but definitely not Davis.\u00a0 It also just adds to insult that he was down in the count\u2014either 1-2 or 0-2\u2014in every at-bat.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Total 2011 Sombreros: <\/strong>111<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top 2: Chris Davis called out on strikes against A.J.
