David Wright hasn’t looked too good at the plate. To me, he still looks like he’s trying to hit 5-run home runs whenever anybody is on base in front of him, and continues to strike out at a scary, scary pace. In 26 plate appearances last week, he’s got 10 strikeouts, and only 2 walks and 4 hits. For someone who’s the face of a franchise, this is a problem. I’m going to give him a pass - for this week only - and focus on someone I refuse to believe I cursed, which I had a habit of doing last year: Jeff Francoeur.
What happened, Frenchy? You went from the team MVP to the Francoeur we’ve been warned about. You know: the guy who flails at pitches way out of the zone. You hit .160 in the last week, with 5 strikeouts, and 0 walks. You haven’t walked once. 2 RBI and 2 doubles round out those numbers. Is there a “good Frenchy” and a “bad Frenchy?” I’ve heard of streaky, but this guy is ice cold right now, and has almost zero plate discipline. He can’t be as bad as he’s been this week, and he can’t be as good as he was 2 weeks ago. Hopefully, he’ll at least find that happy medium, and for the love of God, stop swinging at pitches that could end up hitting the backstop.
You were a Man-Crush, Jeff Francoeur. Now, welcome to the Dog House.
