Not like they sent Mountcastle down for him.  Whoo boy that would have been something.

48 hours ago we thought he was sitting at home.

Then we find out he is in Bowie working out.

Then we find out today that he has been in Bowie for "8 or 9 days" working out.

Then we find out he's accompanying the team on the trip to  New York.

Then we find out he has been activated to the active roster.

The only thing left is to find out he's in the starting lineup.   That's the equivalent of the horror movie where you find out THE PHONE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!!!

Subtraction by addition.

Maybe he got the DJ Stewart treatment down in Bowie? Playoff run?

If he does homer in 3 straight at bats I will become a True Believer in whatever magic is going on behind the curtain in Bowie.

I don't think the other team will let him hit off a tee.

Elias probably remembers the pivotal role Davis played in the 2014 playoff run and figured the team needed some veteran leadership.

I heard a rumor that we had some dudes down there in Bowie. Maybe he is one of the dudes.

This sucks.  It's a surefire way for whatever mojo this team had going to bring Davis back into the fold.  It makes no sense on a number of levels.  

But if I'm a guy like DJ Stewart who gets at bats slashed in half because of the presence of Chris Davis, I'd probably be irate.  That guy has something to prove and while Davis does too, Davis also has no shot in proving it.  He's been trying to do it already SINCE 2017.  

Like whatever feel good mojo this team has had off Mountcastle, Akin and Kremer, it's been dashed by the dark lord of strikeouts and ineptitude, Chris Davis.

O/U on the number of at-bats Davis gets the rest of the season?

20 games, I am thinking 17 at-bats. I fear I am really low though.

Maybe Davis has told them he is retiring after the year and this is his last ditch effort to leave with some kind of dignity?
