It was just a week ago that fans on social media were calling for Chris Taylor to be sent to the minors. Or, even worst, designated for assignment.
Regardless of who it is, or what part of the season we’re in, a lot of Dodgers fans hold players to exceedingly high expectations, and for good reason. They expect players to perform.
Through the first month of the season, the Dodger who had been struggling the most was Taylor. On April 30, Taylor had a slash line of .167/.263/.242/.506. He had 21 strikeouts in 66 at-bats, so essentially 1⁄3 of the time he was striking out.
