1. JJ1986 Posted: September 10, 2021 at 01:55 PM (#6039038)I miss the old days when they were terrible and there were about 20-25k people out here enjoying the afternoon. It was more like cricket.

Wisdom's been struggling for a while now. He had a couple of big games in Aug but overall since Aug 1 it's 190/255/444 with a 45% K-rate. The power's still outstanding (about a 40-HR pace) but clearly a 45% K-rate kills it. Ortega's probably the one I think has the best chance -- a productive platoon OF with solid corner defense -- but he's also in a big slump at 167/214/319 over the last 3 weeks. Schwindel who knows? He's obviously not gonna hit 360 but he's got a nice 16% K-rate so if the power is at all for real then that definitely plays in today's game. Something like 280/340/480 seems possible (not likely) and is nice production these days.
Meanwhile Matt Duffy is ... amazing? In this day and age, the man has an ISO of 065.
Anyway, during this good stretch, the offense has managed to average 5 per game but haven't actually hit that well -- 244/303/450, lousy OBP, good SLG about a 100 OPS+ I think.
Well his K-rate for the season is 40%, so it's not like 45% is a big slump for him. It's just virtually impossible to be any good with a 40% K-rate. You have to hit 40 HRs to put up a 110 wRC+.
