The simplest explanation for the drop off of Betts this year is that last year he was smashing the pitcher's mistakes. This year he's either fouling them off or missing them completely. Thank you again, Captain Obvious.
I'm retired and I haven't had TJ surgery and I'm willing to work at minimum wage. I also struck out 15 batters in a Babe Ruth game in the early 60's. What's not to like?
