It might seem nuts now, but not all that terribly long ago, Roansy Contreras and Oneil Cruz hit town at the same time, on the same trajectory and with the same titanic expectations.
Remember that? Two whole years ago?
Yeah.
About that ...
Oh, my.
And for Contreras alone on this Wednesday matinee at PNC Park, there'd be nine batters faced, one out recorded, seven runs, six hits, two walks, all against an opponent that's off to Major League Baseball's worst start since 1904 at 14-50 while also ranking last in literally every offensive category of worth.
