That’s some pretty precise cutting. If you go 12th to 12th to include one day earlier his OPS is .700. If you go 13th to 13th it will also be about .700. Put both bookend days in and it will probably about .740 Yes I would like for him to heat up, and yes he’s had horrible at bats. But if a players worst slump is between 650 and 750 depending on how you calculate a month, I hesitate to call it terrible.
Compared to how he normally starts seasons I’ll take this one for Bregs Baseball season is long, he could easily end up in the MVP talk by September
Just being obtuse about it. It started in a month with 31 days (May) and ended in a month with 30 days (June). Therefore 5/12-6/12 is 31 days. But your point is well made that Bregman is under-performing our expectations. However, he was having a better start than his usual slow start.
well the whole debate was about Alvarez, who hit home runs on May 12 and June 13. So cutting either of those days matters if you are deciding if he was terrible or just below average. but Bregman is not dissimilar. He has pretty good the last week, horrible for a few weeks before that, and just fine the few weeks before that. watching the games makes those infuriating Ks that he and Yordan put up stand out too much. A few well placed home runs makes up for a lot. also I’m glad those two holistically have room to improve because Yuli and Brantley will slow down at some point. This line up is so deep and balanced there is no good reason for an extended slump without injuries
More like feast, gluttony, and then occasionally they skip a day/meal because they’re so damn full. They’re first as a team in every meaningful offensive category. Every single one. And they still feel like they haven’t “hit their stride yet”… which is very scary for the majority of the league.
