The slump that started the season is gone, but it was replaced with a much gnarlier one.
Back in April, I wrote something titled "Don't worry about Matt Duffy's slump." Over the next 19 games, he hit .338/.392/.451 with four doubles and three triples. I dusted my hands off, as smug and self-satisfied as a blogger could be, and assumed that was the end of that. Duffy was going to be excellent again.
Since then, he has just five hits in 40 at-bats, including a cool 0-for-his-last-17. He hit a ball that traveled roughly two feet on Thursday night.
