Is it me or did it feel like Alex Bregman’s rough start at the plate against the White Sox in the Opening Series — .000/.111/.000 in 18 plate appearances — received more than expected attention? To be clear, a start like that will receive air time, especially for the defending champs. I realize his struggles were further magnified considering how the lineup outside of Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker tends to disappear for stretches. But 50 players last season, including Carlos Correa, Mookie Betts, and Juan Soto, also had four-game stretches where they were held hitless. In other words, an inopportune slump is only just that.
