I don't get it. I thought JPK was an RBI guy. Gibby really is a terrible manager...

JPA's batting average down to .200 exactly now. Surprisingly that is not the lowest in the league. Dan Uggla has a .180 average, but 71 walks to push his OBP to .308. Arencibia is #1 in OBP though. Currently at .236, with his closest competitor (Alcides Escobar) at .261.

Clearly Mendoza's incompetence has been beaten before, but the combination of low batting average, no walks, and terrible defense has to put JPA in some elite class of awfulness.

Sierra's OPS is 100 points above Bautista's. In what universe is that worse?

As I said, it's unlikely that will continue. So... more reading, less overreactions?

Which in the grand scheme is a lucky week where everything he puts in play is finding gaps; a season it is not.

Or did you miss out on his entirely pedestrian numbers in Buffalo?

So yes, less crack, more reality.

You must have missed the part in both my posts where I explicitly said it's unlikely to continue. It would seem you read the first few characters only before deciding to go on your misdirected anti-crack crusade.

I will try my best in future to encapsulate every single point I intend to make in the first sentence of the post so that we can avoid this confusion. :)

At this point it's only a question of how much lower than .200 he will go.

Surely JPK will the be answer for some trivia questions for years to come.
