MILWAUKEE — Back in 2015, Paul Goldschmidt blitzed his way toward being a starter at the All-Star Game with a batting average around .340, an OPS better than 1.000 and 70 RBIs to go with an appearance in all 87 games Arizona played.
Seven years later, Goldschmidt leads the voting for the All-Star Game at his position again, has an average of .339, an OPS greater than 1.000 and 58 RBIs to go with no way he was playing in every game the Cardinals have had.
Consider it a lesson learned.
“In July and August of that year, I just felt tired that whole (time) and ended up having to take more off days in the second half and felt like it affected (me),” Goldschmidt said.
