What happened from what I have read was CD had an exemption in TEX but went off it because he didn't like the side effects. When the absence of adderall is detected that can also lead to a failure.  This most likely was the first failed test.

Where are you getting this? I’ve read a lot on the subject and have yet to this as an explanation.

At the time of the suspension, Davis said he previously had permission to use Adderall but was not cleared for it in 2014.

So, there seems to be conflicting data on whether he had an exemption for 2013, not that he had taken it according to Davis himself.

I read those things several years ago. I don't keep records of very thing I read, but it's logical to assume that if he were using adderall in 2013 it would have been detected more than once that season, since they are tested several times. He didn't have an exemption when he came to BAL. https://www.camdenchat.com/2014/9/12/6140823/chris-davis-suspended-adderall-exemption

Even if that wasn't the case, if you were a pitcher would you rather face Davis, Machado or Schoop? 

Davis of course.

It kind of got lost in last night's game, but I was really happy that Chris Davis got off the schneid.    Maybe that will give him some confidence up there.    It feels like he’s been overthinking.

Agree thrilled! We're stuck with'em so anything good from Davis right now is a plus,

He is going to hit some out. Occasionally a ball will find the bat no matter how poor you are. He needs to show that the bat will hit the ball on a more consistent basis.

I missed Davis’ home run last night. Did they let his seeing eye dog help him around the bases?

You've never seen the bases that beep?

They have been around for decades.

Buck should have him in the lineup against all pitchers that throw a 79 mph hanging curveball. Had no trouble catching up to that one.

[interloper]

Credit to him, he didn't miss it. He misses a lot of hittable pitches including hanging breaking balls. He crushed it though.

Right. Anyone notice the FB Kahnle pumped in at 95 the AB following the HR? Davis looked surprised by it. He’s overmatched by a decent FB.

It was quite the special moment, Davis and his washed up long loopy swing connecting to a washed up Sabathia  hanging 79 mph curve ball. A perfect storm of sorts

[theobird]

It is a nightmare, but I think Davis is done. And no, we can't trade him. I have a feeling he will be sitting a lot by the all-star break, and they will DFA him at some point. Its a shame.
