At this point, if the owner won’t let me cut him and the team isn’t contending, I keep running him out there everyday hoping that one of Davis or the owner loses this weird game of chicken.

Three headed chicken?

Freaky.

Serious question.

You folks know I don't watch the local media.

Has anyone straight out asked Buck how long this can go on with Davis performing this way?  Really pressured him (or Dan for that matter) on the subject?

If not, how can they not?  It's a third of the way though the season, it's becoming a national story.

I'm blaming his head shrinker for putting Davis on pharmaceutical drugs that make it very difficult to hit. Change his meds...

You know how Orioles' pitchers often "nibble" with their pitches? That's pretty much how the Baltimore media is when it comes to questioning Showalter. Even if they did challenge him, Buck's answer would likely be dismissive.

What about a 3 headed Chris Davis? One of them would be able to follow the pitch at least, right? 

We have to get creative here.

I've only heard the topic brought up by radio hosts on 105.7.  I can't recall someone outright asking Buck about if the Orioles are going to do anything about Davis.

Does anyone up there actually have to do their job?

I don't expect anything from MASN but at some point a national media writer is going to do a longform piece on this.

Problem is for local Baltimore media you get too rough on the Orioles and they will limit your access to the team.  Or threaten to pull your press pass.  Plus Buck is dismissive of the media when he is asked anything less than a softball question.

At some they are going to get scooped.   It is just unfathomable that someone isn't digging into this dynamic.

Sun asked him on the 29th of May about Davis batting fourth and if it sends a bad message to the other player's.Buck was dismissive and said other players are struggling. And the infamous if not Davis fourth then who?

I suspect The Athletic or another outlet is going to do a long form article on the Orioles awkward relationship with Davis.  Perhaps Duquette will leak info again to Nick Cafardo at the Boston Globe.

Serious question...Do Buck and Davis see the same head shrinker? Does the team Doc have them both on the same anti-depressant,  or other psychological pharmaceutical?

Buck also said it is very convenient to pick on Chris but other players are struggling.
