Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Last 15 games, he’s hitting .286 with a .349 OBP. Last 30, he’s hitting .319 with a .362 OBP. I’ll repeat, not the problem.
RISP, last 15, last 30?

I believe I did mention Runs batted in my post

That's nice and all, but he's a guy who piles up hits when it doesn't matter, see the HR yesterday off Michael Taylor. His career wRc+ in high leverage spots was 50 (!). He's at his best when it doesn't matter, because pitchers just fill up the zone. He's too easy to get (himself) out for any smart pitcher when the situation calls for it. He's proven anti-clutch.

Last week, he produced a 7 game streak with more GIDP than hits. That's a whole week contributing big time to losing.
 
You expect more from the #2 hitter.

People on this forum were slamming for Hosey to bat #2. So it's a pretty important spot that alters ballgames.

Look, I’m not saying he’s a franchise guy. Hardly my point. Instead, I’m saying he’s hardly at the top of the list of issues we have right now.
 
Reyes with golden sombrero today. It’s one step forward and two steps backward for him lately.
