Odd how less frequent the posts are in this thread.

And on the main board. Yep, funny about that.

Injured back. Hopfully nothing career ending.

On the surface, doesn't sound too bad. Would not be the first to have back spasms and better with a day or two off.

Well good. I am glad he is healthy. For his sake. I think that is his first multi hit game in three weeks.

Almost. He had one last week on June 7. Before that, he hadn't had one since June 6. And before that, he hadn't had one since June 5. He's only had four in his team's 12 games this month.

Heck that's almost like he has been good then. I thought his OPS was sub .675 over a 18 game span.

.260/.313/.312 over 20 games from May 23 to June 14. I believe Nick Markakis had a higher ISO than Cruz during that 20 game stretch. He did have a few multi-hit games in there, but only one double and one HR in 20 games, and six hitless games.

0 for 8 the last two days. .588 OPS, 1 HR in last 21 games.

OPS has tumbled all the way to .953. Time to buy low!

Not yet. Cruz had his 3rd straight o-fer last night, going 0 for 4 and now 0 for 12 in his last three games. OPS to .938, and .562 in his last 22 games. I'm starting to think he is playing with a bad back.

Mt. Nellie may be rumbling. Still no power, but he went 2-2 with two walks and an RBI (via one of those walks) tonight. He had a hit and a walk last night, plus he smacked one that died in the leaden Seattle summer air.
