Brett Gardner went 0-4 at the plate last night, his second straight 0-4 game and the continuation of what has become a prolonged second half slump. Gardner is hitting just .200/.288/.215 in August after a .247/.369/.341 July that was his worst offensive month to date. Gardner has a history of wearing down physically and seeing his production level drop in the second half, and Matt called out that drop in production last Monday. So what’s up with Gardner? Is he hurt? Is he tired? Is he just slumping?
Those are Gardner’s spray charts from April through June and July through today of this season.
