I'm more concerned about Alonso. I don't see the bat speed, and I don't see him capitalizing on balls left over the plate.

An old baseball adage I remember was "power hitters are streak hitters".
Problem is, his hot streaks are getting farther apart.

I've always found the phrase 'tighter than a ducks ass' amusing.
I mean, wtf. Are duck asses tighter than a goose ass? A swan ass?
I wonder what the origin is and who did the initial leg work.

Lowest OPS of his career ... by a lot: 770, previous low in a full season was 821 last year. Career avg 2019-2023 = 870
Overall his BA is 14 points below his career [.238 vs .251] and his OBA down 22 pts [.320 vs .342]
But the slugging is where things are really taking a hit: .450 SlgA vs his career .528
19 HRs (12 of them in Apr & May) on pace for 32. Previous low in a full season is 37 (2021)
Now 30+ bombs still makes him a slugger -- Isolated Power = .190 vs the MLB norm of .154 -- just not an elite one
and not what he had been prior to this year: 277
