We'll miss his .170 batting average. So, is Slater still limping. Pollock is Slater without the good recent history. Unless he's injured Slater should be playing more. It's hard to stay sharp with so few appearances.
Slater is the ultimate platoon weapon. But Giants haven’t seen a lot of lefties lately. He’s also had leg issues all year. Unfortunately , he’s hurt a lot. Also, he’s in a 7-58 funk right now.
This is behind The Athletic's firewall, but it's Grant Brisbee's take on the hitting travails faced by each individual Giant. Some very interesting takes. Covers Pederson, Yaz, Slater, Wade, Davis, Flores, Bailey, Matos, Crawford, Conforto. Compares high water mark with slump statistics. Different for each hitter. One of the few sports articles I've ever read twice. If you've been considering a subscription and you're a Giants fan, this is a good one:
