You would think a hitter of his caliber even in a bad slump would still hit .225 or something.
A couple of years ago in Spring Training, he was practicing fouling off pitches. He wasn't trying to get a hit or put the ball in play, he was practicing "staying alive". I was thinking . . . "You've have problems early in the season on a regular basis lately and you're out here trying to NOT get a hit". He's always been a head case.

A total of 25 pitches thrown by both pitchers for the first two innings. I'm not sure that I've ever seen that before.
Jack Mayfield has never played Left Field in his life, started tonight in LF in Fenway of all places, 2nd pitch was a line drive right at him, which is always very hard to read. Got a good laugh out of Trout and company.
