Is his name Mike or maybe we should call him Steve.

50 games in and hitting .165, it was worse but he has gone 5 of his last 16.

I guess someone has to make outs but for him to be this poor is crazy.

I'm in a surprisingly similar boat here.

I know the NL has some decent pitching but B+/A+ guys are normally decent hitters. Hernandez even has more speed. I guess ABE is down on the pure power hitters in the first 1/3 of the season.

I also get that you need guys to make outs as Jeltz is the clean up hitter vsR and 5th vsL and the 3 guys ahead of him vsR are hitting, 313, .320, and .340. Then vs left it is those 3 guys and a guy hitting .380. I keep wanting to move him but I feel like the law of averages will catch up at some point and he will go on a tear to bring his average back up to .270+ where it belongs.

Wow, Im in amazement at the way ABE is treating him!

[ratman44]

Hey he is up to .183 he is lighting it up.


It must be in the name.

He crossed.200 in game 84. But now he is walking the line.

Steve Jeltz fun fact: only 5 career home runs, however he homered from both sides of the plate in one game

and now, as of 8/5/2036, fans of Mike Jeltz (.225/.278/.445) are stuffing the ballot box, making him an all-star starter

I was just going to note that, he did hit 6 home runs in 4 games, he hit 2 in back to back games. That just tells you how poor the 2B in the NL are.
