Over that small sample size Acuna cooled down a bit – he sort of had to didn’t he? – as did Ozzie. Ender started to hit the ball the other way and picked up some useful hits in the process.

This week wasn’t a good one for the Atlanta Braves bats with runners in scoring position.

That’s a wrap

I know there are a lot of numbers in this, but I also know some don’t have the time or inclination to dig for them. This provides a one-stop look at who’s doing well in spite of what our memory tells and who came through in big situations.

Next. Here come the Rockies. dark

I’ll work on streamlining this and putting together something similar but with fewer variables for pitchers soon.
