Why did Davis go after Hyde? He was not happy.

Any chance Davis packed up his personal belongings and rode off into the sunset?

Who knows if Hyde made a comment about Davis' hitting but if he did, it was a longtime coming right? 

Davis hasn't made any significant adjustments in three years.  His batting stance is largely the same and It has to be frustrating for a coach.  I know Richie Martin may never be a good mlb player but at least he's made noticeable adjustments to try to get better.

Maybe Hyde is trying to motivate Davis? There’s been so much, “oh, he’s trying so hard” stuff. Definitely time for a different approach. I think Earl would approve.

I guess we'll learn what was said to spark all that..  Though I gotta say if Hyde was commenting on his defense, that's not good.  I mean Davis isn't the defender he used to be....and I know, I f'ing KNOW someone's going to come in with the the defensive metrics...but he's not a terrible defender.  Not great, but not a butcher.  

So if Hyde was critiquing him for making errors, criticizing the one thing he can ACTUALLY do somewhat proficiently...that might make him snap.

Bummed I missed it live, stepped out of the room for a bit.

He's got a few million reasons to stick around.  No chance.

I didn't see it, but I reckon it was the glove scoop to Castro covering. Probably viewed as lazy or hot dogging.

At the end of fourth he caught the ball from Castro lackadaisically. Kind of a showboat play to end a bad inning. 

Then it looked like he had some weird footwork on the Villar error in the fifth and then followed that up with another sort of showboat type of play (both times recording the out) again after a bad inning.

I know. Wishful thinking on my part.

Anyone think Hyde will be candid in his postgame interview?

[theocean]

I know Chris Davis isn't exactly popular - but it's never a good sign when a manager is saying something that causes one of his players to try and fight him. Say what you will about Davis, but he's never struck me as a hot head. This is not normal behavior for him.

The O's are getting their butts handed to them during this series. It's the manager's job to keep everyone's heads up through the storm. Between Hyde throwing the team under the bus, venting to the media, and now this - I really am starting to doubt Hyde.

If you check the thread about this on Reddit you will see numerous examples of Davis destroying bats in anger.

He prides himself on being honest so if he isn't candid that will be disappointing.

I want to hear both sides of the story before casting any blame. Davis hasn’t exactly been giving it his all in an effort to live up to the contract. Seemingly very little  changes (if any) in the way he approaches his at bats, and lied about working on his swing with Coolbaugh before his disastrous 2018 campaign.

Let me get this straight: You have no idea of what was said or what happened ... but you think "Earl would approve."

[Barnaby Graves]

Given all Davis has been through his contract, and the undue patience shown to him by the Orioles, I will give Hyde the full benefit of the doubt.  Go earn your check, Chris.
