3 times, no wonder Palmer made those comment last night.  

But Davis said three times a week in Texas ,according to Meoli.

 

Chris Davis said, among other things, that he hasn’t spoken to either Jim Palmer or Scott Coolbaugh. Said he and Coolbaugh hit whenever they were both in Texas, three times a week, and hit more than ever overall this offseason

I guess it's good he hit during the winter. But somehow Spring came.

This is a bizarre situation.  The Orioles are dysfunction central.

OK these tweets from Meoli are definitely illuminating.  Sounds like Coolbaugh isn't outright denying that they met at ALL, but he is saying 3 times total where Davis certainly seems to be saying it was much more frequent.

Back to kind of a "he said, he said" situation.   Still not really happy with either party.......but I'm thinking both sides are kinda skewing the truth now.

I think Coolbaugh will be the first head to hit the chopping block.

Usually when you have a problem in a company, you call all parties in to try and diffuse the situation. This seems to be turning into a cluster F. So Davis does not talk to the hitting coach? Seems like a good setup.

The Coach or Manager always take the hit. Not the non performing player.

Shouldn't Buck as team leader call the parties together?

Buck distancing himself from Coolbaugh?

Latest Meoli tweet:

"Buck said he sides with Chris Davis and sees the work going in, but these are the types of things that happen when teams are going this way."

Buck taking sides. This will go well.  So this will help the Orioles when they are going this way. WTF.

And he's batting 5th again today.

If Buck said that he needs to go. It's unprofessional and CD sucks right now. Get a grip Buck.

Buck needs to meet with Davis and Coolbaugh today.  But who knows what Buck is thinking when he keeps penciling Davis into the fifth spot daily.

Purging the coaching staff is probably the best move.

Roch or Steve aren't going to do a hard hitting investigation to verify if what Palmer said was true.  

Roch and hard hitting should never be used in the same sentence together. He's closer to being a PR person for the team then he is a journalist. 

[Moose Milligan]

Nothing changes the fact that Davis is hitting, like, .154.  BTW, what Davis is doing this year is like, Mario Mendoza career averages.

So we can talk about who worked with who and when, Palmer and what was said last night, Davis' hurt feelings and on and on, but it's not going to get any better, anytime soon.

I feel bad for the guy.  It's gotta suck to be this bad at your job.

Agree. And having a slumping hitter who will not talk to your hitting coach is a good thing. 

We need Bordick to tell us how hard working coaches and players are. Where are his comments?
