A rough one out there for the Guardians yesterday, as the offense was held hitless, scoreless, and at-batless by chilly temperatures. No rain, but it wouldn’t have been a fun experience to play in.

Is Oscar Gonzalez unfortunate or exposed? | Covering the Corner

With time, it seems likely Gonzalez’s numbers could turn around, either through better strike recognition or simply because a sub-.200 BABIP is bound to correct itself eventually. And though Gonzalez may not be the 122-wRC+ hitter he was last year, he’s almost certainly going to put up better numbers than the -7 wRC+ he’s currently sporting.
