The Mets have been answering questions about a Davis demotion for weeks and may have finally reached the breaking point. The 26-year-old first baseman went 0-for-2 on Wednesday and is batting just .147 with a .482 OPS and 49 strikeouts through his first 42 games this season. He has one hit in his last 38 plate appearances. May 23 - 2:45 PM

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Ike Davis went 0-for-2 with two walks on Wednesday and had a couple of key miscues in the field in the Mets' loss to the Reds on Wednesday.

Neither play went as an error, but they both could be considered mental errors. In the seventh, Davis stayed back on a grounder rather than charge it, allowing the runner to score from third and giving the Reds a 4-2 lead. In the ninth, with the score tied 4-4, Davis elected to let a grounder go down the line, figuring it would curl foul. It didn't, giving Brandon Phillips an RBI double. In Davis' defense, the ball really did seem likely to go foul and the Reds almost certainly would have scored the go-ahead run had he handled it. In truth, Davis' decision looked much worse than it was, but since it turned out so badly, it's more fuel for those who want him demoted.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Ike Davis was removed in a double-switch after going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Monday against the Reds.

Worse, he made a boneheaded play in the first, getting called for interference and giving two baserunners extra bases. The Mets have been extremely patient with Davis, but one wonders just how much longer that can last.

Ike Davis is batting sixth for the Mets on Monday.

The Mets have tried moving Davis back to cleanup in an effort to change his mindset and get his bat going, but it hasn't worked. The 26-year-old first baseman is batting just .156/.238/.259 through 40 games this season.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Ike Davis was told Saturday by Mets general manager Sandy Alderson that a demotion is not imminent.

ESPN New York reported Saturday morning that there were intensifying internal discussions about sending the struggling first baseman to Triple-A, but Davis got the vote of confidence on Saturday afternoon directly from the man who would make that decision. Davis estimated that he has about a month to turn it around.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

ESPN New York reports that the Mets have "intensified" discussions about potentially demoting Ike Davis.

Davis was able to snap a six game hitless streak Friday, but he may not have more than this weekend's series against the Cubs to prove he deserves to avoid a demotion. If Davis is sent down, the Mets are expected to call up Andrew Brown from Triple-A Las Vegas to replace him on the active roster. Davis is batting .160/.245/.267 with four home runs in 38 games this season.

Mets manager Terry Collins said Thursday that he is committed to batting Ike Davis cleanup "through the weekend."

Davis went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts Thursday and is now hitless over his last 22 at-bats, dropping his batting average to .157 for the year. The Mets are trying to be patient with the 26-year-old first baseman through his prolonged slump, but he can't keep killing rallies in the middle of the order for much longer.
