Camden Chat’s Tyler Young summed it up as accurately as possible in Wednesday’s Bird Droppings: “There is something wrong with Chris Davis. Maybe it’s mental. Maybe it’s physical. Whatever it is, he cannot be playing every day and he certainly shouldn’t be batting clean-up. He is a black hole from which an offensive rally will not survive.”
It is hard to disagree with that analysis. Through Wednesday’s game, Crush’s slash line is unbelievably disappointing at .156/.239/.244. He has four homeruns and 15 RBI in 50 games. Only Manny Machado, Adam Jones and Trey Mancini have appeared in more games for the Birds.
