Whats up with Markakis

[JakeTrain72]

He was pretty consistent so seeing him such a prolonged slump is odd. They tried Jones in the 4hole lately...anybody watching him see something out of whack? Is there cause for concern here? I'm giving him a very long leash but he's riding pine for the foreseeable future on my teams.

There has never been a baseball player that doesn't slump, ever.

The entire Baltimore offense has been in a funk, Wieters, Adam Jones, Roberts, Huff, Markakis...UGH.

Um, well everyone except Reimold & Scott, lately ...

Re Markakis -- yeah, the slump is worrisome, his digits are dismal. He does tend to perform better post-ASB, though.

Pre ASB 1160 AB 175 R 32 HR 162 RBI .285
Post ASB 796 AB 138 R 34 HR 139 RBI .317

For now, nothing to do but vent & hope ...

Sharing the same empty 1/3 woes with you.

The big streak is coming though

[Wright2Reyes]

Slumps are contagious, but so is hitting, I'm not worry, but its getting annoying to watch

[Nemyar]

He did this last year 'round this time too. It is annoying, but he should snap out of it..

[soty]

He is too good of a hitter to not snap out of it.

[JakeTrain72]

We can only hope. The good news I guess is that he's shown he can put up numbers quickly when he is right so there is plenty left in the bat.

Try to buy low if u need a high AVG rubs/rbi guy. He'l l break out of his slump eventually. At least he's doing better than Rios.
