Early season stats are fun. One or two hits could make a hundred-point difference. If Panda had two more hits he'd be at .300 instead of .200, LOL.Â
The other day Bochy started Blanco and Hernandez. I started to roll my eyes and then saw that the top two hitters on the club right now are.....Blanco (.370) and Hernandez (.316).
While Panik started well, Crawford does not look good at the plate. .228 and 18 whiffs in only 57 ABs. Basically on track for almost 200 whiffs unless he starts seeing the ball better. He had a couple of nice years back in 2015-16 but in reality he's a career .248 hitter and should never be higher in the order than 7th or 8th. Of course, anything from him on offense is a bonus.
It's too bad, but it sure looks like Pence may be done. And a weird injury did it. When he was healthy, he was the "glue guy" in the lineup.
