0-4 tonight so it's 30 and done, but here's a look at his streak.

Crazy.

Amazing.

And yet even with a sizzling 30-game streak, he hit below .400. Makes you really wonder if we'll ever see that happen again.

He's in an 0-21 slump coming into tonight, and his line is .152 / .220 / .437 since the streak ended.

Here's hoping he stays cold against the Sox this weekend.

Also, starting pitchers don't last as long anymore. Think about how much better a hitter gets the third and fourth time he's facing a pitcher.
