July 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 02:43 PM) He'll probably hit 2 HRs tonight after all this. He usually does when people start noticing. His last HR was 59 PA's ago. Yeesh. He has 2 in his last 133.

July 22, 201510 yr I was driving home from the game last night and I heard Les Grobstein talking about Kris Bryant of the bad guys on the Northside. He pointed out that Bryants batting average is in free fall.( He's now hitting .256) Grobstein said now that the scouts have seen Bryant they now know how to pitch to him. The reason why I'm bringing this up is because maybe the AL teams have figured out how to pitch to Abreu. Jose simply is not the same hitter this year as he was in 2014. People seem to speculate that he's hurt now. I don't know that for a fact, but I wish he would start resembling the hitter he was in 2014.

And he couldn't elevate the ball twice with a man on 3rd and less than 2 outs last game , once striking out the other time grounding out to the pitcher. He did have an RBI single that took a wicked bounce past Reynolds at 1st. Ground balls every time up.

Between Abreu ,LaRoche and Avi it might be 250 AB's without a HR . Just a pure guess there. But I'm sure someone can prove me wrong or right if they want.
July 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 02:44 PM) Maybe I'm in the dark but haven't seen anything about him being hurt. I just want him to start hitting the ball hard again. If it takes a DL stint, so be it. The Royals' Hudler said he talked to Robin and he has a hand injury. So it's no secret. I don't know if the Sox reporters have written about it or not. But the Royals announcers were pulling the old "I talked to Ventura before the game and he said Abreu had a bad finger." Edited July 22, 201510 yr by greg775
July 22, 201510 yr Sun Times has an article up pointing out that Abreu only has hit "4 line drives this month". of course, I'm not even bothering to link to it because it's in the Sun Times and their insane number of popups literally makes the page 100% unviewable.

That website is crazy lousy. But I read they sold all their suburban papers to the Trib, so the Sun Times is about to be out of business obviously.
July 24, 201510 yr In his last 89 AB's covering 30 days Abreu is hitting .247 , OBP .295 , SLG .371 , OPS .666
