That had happened, you got to go back like more than a month to see the last time that they had hit three home runs in a same game situation.

So flashes of pop.

But the problem is they're only flashes.

They need to have more slug as a team.

And I think the biggest thing for me is looking at the players like PCA, who's batting now 392 in the month of June.

In 17 games on the leadoff spot, he's batting .352.

He's found a home in the leadoff spot.

I wish we could get him some at-bats, though, with runners in scoring position, because he's a guy who on the season is hitting .317 with runners in scoring position.

In the month of June, you've got positive runners in scoring position numbers from guys like Seiya Suzuki, who was a late scratch in the game, and not Alex Bregman, certainly not him, Michael Bush, okay?

But in that same breath...

Alex Bregman, despite hitting .333 on the trip, one hit with runners in scoring position in that time.

That's not good enough.

And so you have guys who are hitting.

Michael Bush has an eight-game hitting streak.

He's got a 20 base on base streak.

He's doing very well.

But you've got to put all those guys together.

Because the Nico Horners, three for 20.

The Ian Haps, home run here, nothing for several at-bats.

That's been the way it's going.
