Julio's home OPS this season is .582

0-4 tonight, nothing even close to a hit, so now his home OPS is in the .570s...and yet we bat him third where he kills the heart of the order. Is Mariner management unaware of this?

Why haven't you been continuing your updates on Julio's performance at home?

9 games at home since this post was made and he has 4 HR and a .906 OPS in those games.

If Julio could ever put together an entire season, it would be epic.

Streaks happen, but Julio seems to be more streaky than most. The good thing is he usually finishes the season hot, so maybe we are in for MVP Julio from now on?

It's really just a question of hitting the ball in the air vs. on the ground. There seems to also be an approach issue and I don't think he has strong pitch recognition, but quality of contact seems like the biggest factor in his performance.

It suggests the opposing pitchers know how to pitch to him and he hasn't figured out how to change!

That's what our batting coaches are paid good money for. But I think when they share that info with Julio his brain is a sieve.

Because this thread slid way down the page, maybe? Definitely pleased to see how well he hit this past homestand. He's up to .639 at home now which is still meager but maybe he'll get it up over .700 by the end of the season which wouldn't be great but at least combined with his road numbers would turn into a decent season for him.

I'm thinking that he logged onto our forum, saw this and got pissed off. Let's do one on Geno!

A 9 game hot streak. I am as hopeful as anyone, but if he had been red hot for ever, and had a 9 game slump, would anyone be able to talk like he now sucked? 9 games? That is 5% of a baseball season. That is like getting excited about 3 good quarters of play by an NFL QB! That's right, three quarters, not games....quarters. 9 games isn't even two trips through a five man rotation.

Again, I hope that he continues this, but calling someone out because they aren't signing the praises of a 9 game hot streak....that brought his home OPS all the way to .639? Come on.
