The topicality of these thoughts lie in the Phillies' centerfielder. For the third straight season, Odubel Herrera is in the midst of one of those stretches that can't help but make you wonder why he can't make them last forever. Through the end of May, he was about as bad as a hitter can be: a .218 batting average, .262 on-base percentage, .589 OPS, and 51 strikeouts in 193 at-bats. This, on the heels of an underwhelming finish to 2016.
