Sometimes articles fall into your lap. I’ve been tinkering with an article on J.P. Crawford for a few weeks, eager to discuss how his bat was progressing in Tacoma, and whether the fresh start on the west coast seemed to have buy-in. Sometimes you get waylaid, though, and much like J.P. himself, the article was on the back-burner.
Then J.A. Happ went up and in one too many times and drilled Dee Gordon on the hand, Dylan Moore went and had the same issue, and just for kicks Edwin Encarnación dove for a grounder at 2nd base and rolled his wrist too.
