#25 Ryan Church's 3 game return from the DL has been impressive - 5-8 (.625 BA), .700 OBP, 1.125 SLG%, and an astounding 1.825 OPS [over 1.0 is considered very good]. It was capped off by Friday's explosion against the Dodgers at Chavez Ravine. Aside from driving in the first & last RBI's of the game, he went 3-5, scored 2 runs, had 4 RBI (all with 2 out), a double off a LHP in the 7th and a 3-run homer. Not bad for a guy whom the Mets and their followers would have us believe can't hit lefties, can't hit for power, and can't hit in the clutch.
In his 17 games (13 starts) for the Atlanta Braves, the LHS Grad, has improved over his Mets numbers in BA (.283 to .295), OBP (.351 to .436), and Slugging % (.388 to .455). In 55 plate appearances he has 13 hits (2 doubles & a homer), 11 walks (1 intentional), but only 7 strikeouts. All while playing excellent defense, mostly in right field. Maybe its wearing a uniform that has "Braves" on it again.
