While BC’s successful return adds wins and unimaginable depth to our rotation, I think we can also be happy with the trends of other players:
Jacoby’s 4thHR, and raising his average to .290. I think we all knew he would be an impact player on the bases and in the field, but wondered if he would be a .300 hitter with high OPS or hit for power. Even as he figures out the MLB, he is edging back to .300 and is on pace to hit a dozen HR as a rookie, and promise of more as he matures.
The Captain’s bat. Jason is a hitter again, and is trending towards earning an All-Star berth.
Coco Crisp seems to be thriving in this 4-man OF . . . with an offense as strong as his D, and inspired base running.
This homestand seems to have gotten our Bullpen back on its feet.
You don’t find it newsworthy enough to say that you met me!?
Just making sure you are reading Evan. Yes, I did meet Evan yesterday too!
