If Gyorko is hitting the ball so much better than Carpenter right now, why is his exit velocity the exact same and his hard hit percentage worse?
If the problem is him hitting into the teeth of the shift, why is his pull percentage lower than the last two years?
No one seemed to have a problem with him having a 48.1% pull rate in 2016, but now his 44.6% rate is problematic?
Is Bryce Harper suddenly a dogshit hitter because he has a .143 BABIP over the last two weeks?
Maybe it's just a small sample size.
