seems to be antsy at the plate. Not expecting to get much to hit. Which in reality shouldn't be the case. Murphy and Ramos are having great years, Werth and Rendon have played much better of late, Trea Turner is going to help that team etc...so in a way it's unbelievable that he has kinda struggled.

Murphy Ramos Werth and Rendon all have more hits than Bryce, not that it means much except you can deduce that they all see more pitches to hit than Bryce. shite they are 20 games over 500 kinda flying under the radar with him "struggling"

This was a really interesting article on Fangraphs yesterday. Basically, it says Harper isn't hitting the ball quite as hard this year, but even moreso he has been unlucky. His BAPIP is like .100 less than last year. Article also talks about how Harper's production last year was an extreme outlier compared to his batted ball velocity. So while Harper is great, 2015 Bryce may have been a bit flukish.

Even if all he does is get Ben Revere out of the top of the order. Ben Revere and his .260(!) OBP have started 55 games at leadoff (and 5 at 2). Replacing Michael Taylor and his .274 OBP (30 starts at leadoff, 8 at 2). But they sure do look like leadoff hitters, right Dusty!?
