Jim Palmer just threw Chris Davis under the bus

If you noticed Davis' last at-bat, he did make a change. Palmer even pointed it out that Davis had the bat on his shoulder instead of holding it up. He started his swing from his shoulder.

It didn't work, though.

Time for a hypnotist, exorcism, witch doctor, whatever it takes to snap Davis out of this.

Chris Davis should me a medical poster child for aderall. The fake stuff just isn’t cutting it. If he has a legitimate condition why won’t MLB let him take is prescribed meds?  

It seems all mental. Yeah the shift really hurt him, but he just lacks confidence now.

That was the point.  That the not quite Adderall wasn't getting the job done.

It got the job done in 2015.

Chris Davis’ OPS is lower than Machado’s SLG!  That’s pretty amazing.

Chris, you need to hang up the spikes and do something else with your life, and that is perfectly ok.   Thanks

Why is everyone on Davis? Buck is the one championing his signing. Buck should be getting the blame.

Is Buck the one watching strike 3, or watching 3rd base while strike 3 goes by? Is Buck the one hitting less than .200?

Buck gets blame too for wanting him signed, but it's on the player to produce.

You are correct.  He takes Vyvanse.  Serious side effects.

He would probably better off on nothing.

Completely unfamiliar with it. What side effects are there?

Buck knew what Davis takes and the risks...sorry, but this is on Buck. I’d take the money too! Lol

Anxiety and depression.  They often prescribe an antidepressant such as Prozac to counter the Vyvanse.

 I don't know why people expect to give up the money he is owed.  He is here the next 4 1/2 years get used to it.  And as long as Buck is here he will start and bat 5th.

Yep.  It would be like putting me out there and saying, "Don't blame Buck.  His job is to produce." 

Buck and DD's job was to see this coming.  It's not like it was difficult.  Plenty of posters on this board were advocating we run away from Davis as fast as we can once his K was done.  Instead they locked him up.  They don't get to say, "Davis should be playing like a player he's not."
