I was asking because it seemed obvious you chose September 1 because it made Doyle look as bad as possible, which I think you are willing to admit with your “bully” comment.It is a valid answer to subtracting and excusing all of the bad periods to make him look as good as possible.

38 minutes ago38 min Doyle seems to have the physical talent to be a good-to-great player and has played at a reasonably high level before. But you have got to squint way too hard at the numbers to find a data-based case for why he's actually been playing well or was clearly about to start playing well. If he does well for the Sox, I'm 100% chalking it up to coaching and not that the breakout was clearly inevitable.
