Now that the slump has gotten national publicity (which hadn't happened in NY & Toronto), it will be interesting to see the reaction of fans on the road.   I guess mainly talking about Boston fans, since Tampa really doesn't have any fans.   I wonder how much jeering and such he'll have to put up with in Fenway this weekend, from a fan base that is probably pretty grumpy anyway based on the performance of their team so far.

They are a grumpy bunch, but I think this story, at a national level, is going to get people rallying behind him.  I think he's going to get some cheers from the Sox fans.

The Bad News Multimillionaire. MLB should let him pay someone to hit for him.

You have a more optimistic view of Bostonians than I do.

Eh, we're all human.  Hard to believe when talking about New Englanders, I know.

Agreed. 

If there are cheers, it will be because Red Sox fans think Davis = automatic out.

Davis to go down in a slow burn. Needs to be batting in the 10th spot. Lol. Between Ubaldo and Davis, the O's have really really messed things up financially and have set the organization back several years.  Davis and Ubaldo played the same card "I do my best and things will eventually turn around". No they won't and no they didn't.

Let’s be fair Ubaldo had stretches where he was good. Davis has been mostly since the first half of 2016.

Insufferable Massholes, and they've had the teams in all 4 sports to back them up.

If the O's go the rest of the season without winning another game, Davis's streak will be a footnote.

Shouldn't this be in the silver linings thread?

Only if I were Chris Davis.

If he goes the rest of the season without a hit I think he will become part of the folklore about the 5 win season.

You're talking about a liberal mecca.  No one up there wants a multimillionaire to succeed.

I don’t know...something is truly karmic about this streak...I mean even the absolute, most terrible  hitters in history still have blooped a lucky duck, a seeing eye grounder, something...no, this is payback by the baseball gods of some sort.

As bizarre as it has gotten, if I am Chris, and I am in the lineup...I am bunting every at bat, no swings, only bunts...all game long.
