The "pet" has been quite streaky for a few years now, going either .100 or .400 for weeks at a time. It's not a problem as long as other batters don't follow suit in the first category.

Incredibly strong and weak streaks over longer periods once were Mark Dawson's trademark feature. He's in a weak streak now, which has been lasting over a year.

I like Glenn Johnston's left-handed bat in the lineup, especially against right-handers (of course...). Reece has started in center against all left-handed starters, but those have been very few and far between so far. I think we have not faced more than ten so far. Reece has started a few games against right-handers in mid-April when he hit about .400 and whenever Johnston was a bit slow at the plate.

However: track record shows Johnston to be the more consisting hitter, while Reece has so far shone mostly through defense (apart from the famous Neil Reece Game of course). But I admit he should play a few more games.

It's almost a luxury problem that we have here, having four excellent outfielders. Bob Arnold is being pushed out here, since he has not delivered a lot so far this season.

Tetsuuuuuu's power is not there, but I will take a .350 bat with around 20 dingers any day. More concerning is his defense, which is falling apart rapidly. He's become a bit of an error sink.

Bobby Quinn is actually leading the team in home runs. Whether the Capitals are still hitting themselves over waiving him? (Probably not, given their 1990 title)

More from Coon City later today.
