Chris Davis 2019 and beyond

[atomic]

If I were the manager I would have picked a pitcher at random and had them pinch hit for Davis when the bases were loaded in the 8th.

Picking the most athletic looking fan in the stands would be better than Davis.

That could be the O's new promotion.  Who will be the lucky fan that will pinch hit for Davis.  At least they can make an attempt to put the ball in play instead of watching strike 3 go past.

It is wise to be represented by the one who hands the owners the book.

The players are left smiling while the fans are usually left crying and they aren't tears of joy.

.480 was not the low. 0 for 4 with 1 K and GIDP. OPS down to .473 for a new low. Is .473 the low?

Unfortunately, unless there is a strike it will continue to go lower.

Chris Davis is in a tight battle with rookie  Lewis Brinson CF of the Marlins for next to worst OPS in majors...Davis is at .473 and Brinson is at .462.   Although Kole Calhoun of the Angels continues to lead with an OPS of .374 in perhaps the worst offensive performance in the last half century.

Davis has a much worse WAR though. And is being 140 million more dollars over the life of his deal. Calhoun seems like a bargain at this point.

I mean, at some point it has to hit bottom.

Yes, Calhoun’s defense ups his WAR and the money is flushed down the drain as clearly Davis is one of the worst contracts in baseball...but I was just talking about comparing offensive performance...   And Calhoun’s offense this year is historically bad as well.

1 for 4 with 2 K's. OPS up to .474. .473 could be the bottom.

Guts of the team.

I'm wondering, maybe Davis plays so poorly, that he eventually realizes he doesn't have it anymore, and then maybe approaches the O's about some type of buyout in exchange for a retirement announcement?    Yeah, its alot of money to leave on the table, and if he really thinks he can somehow become a legit everyday MLB'er again, its a moot point.  But maybe he values his time and at least salvaging some goodwill from fans.
