What’s wrong with Brian McCann and would the Braves benifit by using David Ross instead? Would blinking more or less help (for Brian not me watching his at bats)?

Thanks, daily podcast listener.

McCann – matching his career walk rate, matching his career ISO, matching his career K%.

He’s hitting a few more groundballs than usual, which I’d assume has a worse effect on him than a typical hitter since he’s usually playing against a shift.

BABIP 68 points below his career average. He’s fine.
