Don't Call It A Comeback! (Nightowl Inspired)

Andre Ethier was a beast.A quiet,unassuming talent who let his bat do all the talking.And he still Is,quiet,unassuming ,only this time around his bat hasn't been doing much talking.But as of late,things seem to be coming together again for the 2 time All-Star who placed 6th In the MVP voting back In '09.Last year,In 341  at  bats ,Ethier  hit all but  4 homers and drove In a scant 42  runs.This year ,however, Ethier has bounced back ,not all the way back,but back,nonetheless.He's already got 9 more homers than last year ,and he's done that in fewer at bats.The RBI total Is about the same but he's upped his OBP. from .322 last year to .373 In 2015.Not only that but he's helped his first place Dodgers stay afloat In the N.L. west  by hitting .329 with 3 HR and 9 RBI In his last 30 games.But don't call It a comeback,Ethier has been here for years!

Don't Call It A Comeback!

Cameron Maybin was supposed to be the next Dave Winfield.Well ,that was about 7 years ago.Injuries and flat out under-performance derailed those high expectations and Maybin has since become somewhat of a journeyman.This year , however, Cameron has turned It on.Something must have clicked inside of  the mind and mechanics of the one time Tiger top prospect , as he has thrived In Atlanta over the first half of this season.He's batting .285 with 15 Steals, 8 HR and 44 RBI. I've read that 26 Is the age that most major league hitters start to get It ,Maybin's 28 now.It's nice to see a guy you know has potential finally come around and redeem himself.Better late than never,I guess.
Congrats to Cameron Maybin for tearing It up,albeit,for the first half.Here's to an equally productive stretch run ;)
