Chris Davis hasn't gotten a hit, Trevor Rosenthal hasn't recorded an out (9 batters faced over 4 appearances). These events are leading up to an epic matchup.

Just think, if Davis gets a hit on his next at-bat, his batting average will rise significantly from .000 all the way up to .042.

If Rosenthal gets an out on the next batter he faces, his ERA will drop precipitously from INFINITY all the way down to 189.0!

Of saying the same thing.

The home opener boos, for me, honestly did more to drive home the urgency of this than anything Davis has done himself on the field. It's just such a bad look on broadcasts. Fans don't really (and shouldn't) drive too many baseball decisions, but I almost feel like it's going to be the thing that breaks the camel's back on this one.

Davis is at 44 AB's without a hit and the all-time record is 46 so he should break it tonight if he goes hitless his first 3 AB's. The plate appearances without a hit is 57. Davis is at 51. 

 

Here are the longest streaks of hitless at-bats:

Eugenio Vélez, Giants/Dodgers, 46, 2010-11 
Craig Counsell, Brewers, 45, 2011

Chris Davis, Orioles, 44, 2018-19

Some pretty solid names on that list, actually.

Is Davis in his final year?

I would love to say he is, but alas ...

In response to his play thus far through the first 9 games of 2019, Chris Davis now has been moved up in the batting order.

.....

(from 7th to 6th)

Seeing if they can get him one more at bat to make sure he secures a record.

This is more due to Ruiz sitting in favor of Hanser, IMO. So far the 6th spot has been occupied by a lefty.

I've not gotten a single televised Os game in Denver, so can someone tell me if defenses so far are shifting for Davis? (13Ks in 23 ABs would suggest that maybe they don't need to).  Or maybe the shift is only situational?

If they are still shifting, why Davis has not yet tried to lay one down the third base line for a hit is beyond me.  At least he'd get the O-fer monkey off his back...

Will there be a ceremony?

Hitless in 44 straight at bats - goiong back to September 14th.  He's close to the all-time record for position players.
