I do wonder how much the missed calls by the umpire are impacting Tatis. He seems to have that pitch and inch or two below the zone called on him fairly frequently. You can see his body language change after it and then he expands the zone.
I am girding myself for bad news re King. I’m not pessimistic. Just a Padre fan that’s been misled too many times by Padre PR / injury updates.
This seems like the worst month of Tatis’ career. Sub .200 BA, OPS approaching .600, ground ball after ground ball, high k rate even for him. Awful. And yet, he’s at 2.8 bWAR, .3 more than he had all last season when he had 398 ABs. Just shows how good he was in April. Why he started tinkering is a quandary.
