Cruz struck out again, later on. As this was Pittsburgh's 18th game of the season, this puts him on pace for 279 K's, all told! Sheesh.
(He does have a sparkling .616 OPS and 71 OPS+, though. So Javy doesn't have all the bragging rights, as yet.)

I got into a bit of a kerfluffle over a youtube video, that claimed Elly De La Cruz was the greatest rookie since ... ever.
I pointed hit his minus dWAR, his career .710 OPS, and strikeout rate of 37%. Still got no traction that MAYBE Mr. De La Cruz MIGHT not be the next ARod/Ozzie combo.
