There was a moment in the 2017 Giants season when not everything was awful. No, please, come back, I can explain. It was the end of June, which was year seven of the 34 different 2017 seasons we were forced to watch last year, and Austin Slater was hitting .338. He had a fine .391 on-base percentage and .475 slugging percentage. He would hit a home run in his next game — one of the only two runs in a 2-1 extra inning win — and push his slugging percentage to exactly .500.
The 2017 season was dreck, but this Slater kid, man.
