A decade of major league experience has taught Ryan Zimmerman about the dynamics of slumps. He knows the helpless feeling that accompanies them, but he also knows how to work out of one. That’s why, as he stood in front of his locker Sunday morning, he showed no signs of concern about his recent performance, both in his words and in the expression on his face.
Zimmerman has one hit in his past 25 appearances, but he has been here before. He knows that slumps like this will pass, and his averages will return.
