Ottowa responds with this sequence against Person: HR, BB, SB, HR, HR.

What is up with Borchard? I've already lowered the bar on him and while it's a small sample size, this guy is hitting .151 and his average seems to have fallen the last couple of weeks. I never thought he'd struggle so much in AAA, especially with all these strikeouts.

Are his problems physical, mental, or both?

UNfortuntately, he just is not a good player. Good guy though. Bad player. Hopefully he invested that 5 million somewhat wisely and can go do something with this (I believe partial) education from Stanford.
