Meh he was red hot not that long ago. I think this is the popular new fad and it will be over during his next hot streak He hasn't been really hot since April. Otherwise he's been mostly okay - but just okay - until the last 10 days or so, which is certainly a slump and he won't continue to be this bad. But I'm not sure if he can maintain an elite level of hitting over a full season again.
Since May 7th...
JD Martinez: .257/.315/.454, 103 wRC+ Bobby Dalbec: .257/.308/.515, 116 wRC+
A couple weeks ago he had a week long stretch against Tor/Tb/Bal where he was 11-24 with 2 bombs and 11 RBI’s. It’s still in there. He’s just looked a little brutal lately. I’m sure he’ll come out of it eventually

Well, hopefully I've been horribly wrong on Bobby. I do wonder if Covid is negatively impacting Rizzo either health wise or just that the time off messed with his mechanics just a bit. Either way, it's great to see Voit losing his mind over the acquisition and not playing despite playing better than Rizzo.
Unfortunately, nothing matters as NY is never going to lose another game again.

Unfortunately, nothing matters as NY is never going to lose another game again. Rizzo hasn't had a good year period. I think the near obsession with him comes from the fact he began in the Sox system. Which is funny in a way because he was traded when he was a highly ranked prospect fans could dream on and now people wanted to get him back by trading highly ranked prospects people could dream on.

Espinal RHP, Ockimey, Munoz ... free agents in October. On a worse team, they'd get some MLB time. That'd be cool. 4 days later ... two of them made the jump to MLB. Ockimey will be tougher to squeeze on.
