The San Francisco Giants are hitting well enough to be side characters in a minor controversy, so let’s examine it. This morning, Baseball Twitter got into a bit of a tizzy because of this tweet from former major leaguer Will Middlebrooks:
Brian Kenny: “Luis Arraez is still hitting .400. Do we care?”
What kind of question is that? Hell yes we care. We should care. 212 at bats and he’s hitting .401 in an era of baseball that pitchers “stuff” is at an all-time peak. Arraez is an anomaly in todays game.
