Wow, did my post go completely over your head. I expect Manny to revert to his norm. I also expect for the Sox hits to revert to situational norm......in other words, I expect the ball to start missing fielders when there are runners on base. Right now, the offense is experiencing a sort of double cross. Manny's in a funk and situational hitting is struggling, but I don't see that holding for appreciable periods of time.
And, FWIW, Lowell slipping to .270 and Youk slipping to .280 aren't enough to balance out Manny recovering from .220 and no dingers in 30+ ABs.
