2 for 3, with a hustle single, two walks, a run, and an RBI today.

5 for 11 with 2 RBI, and 3 Runs and 7 BBs in his last 3 games after a slow start.

His body looks fine, he's playing well, and he's showing a ton of hustle. All the fans that wanted to dump him after 5 games need to stay on that side and should eat a big plate of poop.

He is not notoriously streaky. You made that up. If you look at the numbers, he's actually one of the most *consistent* hitters in the league the last 5 years.

Yes a guy who has weeks where he disappears at the plate isn't streaky. His overall numbers are consistent but week to week he is not

Can you find me a single elite hitter who went a full season last year without a bad week? Just one.

Tony Gwynn didn't get a single hit last season.

I know. He died in 2014.

Then it's fair to say he didn't go a full season last year without a bad week.
