LMAO. i say this is may, and all you philly fags start bashing me saying 'who cares about obp when you're killing the ball', and when he goes into mediocre mode you're all 'oh well at least hes getting on base'.
pathetic.
When you're killing it like he was with the long ball, your OBP isn't really something someone is gonna worry about. He was swinging at everything and seeing plenty to hit.
Pitchers have adjusted, teams are planning to pitch around him and limit his chances to crush it. He's adjusted to that and has taken the free passes unlike last season where he was just ripping. He's showing some patience, and has had a lot of multi hit games lately even though his average overall has dropped (not that we expected it to be .300+ this season anyway).
But this is baseball, nobody crushes it like that the entire season, otherwise he'd break the all time record lol. He'll go on his streaks just like everyone else. When he finishes the season with 30+ HR's and 100+ RBI and a .265+ avg that's a pretty good breakout season rofl.
