Jim Palmer just threw Chris Davis under the bus

Looking at the ball or even in the direction of it would certainly be a help.

Isn't Davis on a different ADD medicine than he used to take? Or is he even still using it? 

The side effects of the new medicine might be causing him to lose focus at the plate.

HIPPA rules do not allow us to know what Davis is taking or not.

I am a little surprised there is no chatter about what happen with Davis last night.  Roch takes note but the OH has not weighed in.

Chris Davis was a force in 2015.  47 HR 117 RBI, 923 OPS.   He signed his 7/161m in Jan 2016.  The league adjusted with a shift to the right side and it has been down hill ever since.  Wouldn't  it be something it Chris adjusted to hitting to left field, the league shifted back and Chris becomes a force again?   And it was Jim Palmer that ignited the change in Chris Davis approach to hitting.

O want Davis to get it together as much as anyone. A couple of days does not begin to erase what he has become though. 

I hope the tide turns for him.

Just curious, what would you do if you were in Davis' position?

I'd try my best and collect my money.

If the team offered me the right buyout I'd take it.

Only thing better than making 100M playing baseball is making 90M not playing baseball.

We know Davis received a TUE from MLB in 2015 for Vyvanse, HIPPA rules aside.

From what I read he lost his TUE in the first place for going off his meds.  I wonder if he's still taking the Vyvanse?

You mean pre-2014? Or did he lose his TUE in the past couple of years?

Prior to 2014.  I have no knowledge as to the current status of his TUE.
