Hall of Famer Jim Palmer is known for his honest evaluation of the Orioles, so it was only a matter of time before the MASN color commentator got around to calling out Chris Davis for his inability to make the adjustments necessary to rediscover his old form.
The truth hurts sometimes, and it hurts even more when you’re mired in an interminable slump and your team is already well out of contention in late May.
The real question is whether it was constructive for Palmer to get into Davis’ head at a time when it’s already fully stocked with confusion, frustration and bruised confidence.
