GDT: 6/03/2018 vs Nats

Albies hasn't even driven the ball outside of this game and the first Nationals game in 12 games. He's been trash awful for a while.
 
Also, Inciarte is about to piss me off. He’s getting himself out with a horrible, over-the-top aggressive approach.
 
Can someone who is a bit more analytically sound explain how our offense became this bad so quickly?

Analytically, normal regression to the mean.
Traditional baseball term. Everyone that started out hot has come back to normal. It’s how baseball works. 1-3 weeks of good play followed by longer stretches of poor to abysmal play. You just hope enough guys are hitting at all times to carry you.
 
Guys like Albies are paying for it for very good luck earlier in the year. He crushed balls at times but hit so many weak flyouts that it's balancing out to where everything is getting caught from him. And that's going to continue, sadly until he changes his approach.
