His career and season OPS+ is higher than Hays.  His career and season OPS+ is higher than Santander.

Both Hays and Santander have pronounced hot and cold streaks.

I don't understand why he is treated differently by some fans than the other two.

Because Hays, at times, has played a capable outfield. Santander switch hits and has played a capable outfield at times, too. 
 

This isn’t hard.

Right because certain players don't just end up favorites or targets for pretty random reasons.

Mountcastle was getting grief for his smile earlier this season.

Batting a beastly .407/.476/.611 through 15 games in August.

It’s goofy when he is slumping. When he is hitting like he is now…it’s eccentric.

CoC is goofy, too.

Ever since I exclaimed Mountcastle had no future with the club, he's gone OFF!  Same with James McCann. LOL

You deserve props for getting them going.   Probably would not have happened otherwise.

[Pickles]

Now leading the team in OPS.

I'll definitely take a white hot Mountcastle streak going into the stretch run.

Ryan Mountcastle proving to be an absolutely incredible post ASB acquisition.   Who saw this coming? Hope he stay in the “zone” through October.

This is pretty much vintage Mountcastle.

Extended periods of blinding heat, followed by long ice cold slumps.

Glad he's on a heater at the moment.
