Quotes
"I’ve kind of always been a guy that hits them and then doesn’t hit them for a while. I can’t really explain it. I know I was going through a time in Reno where I was hitting the ball as hard as I could possible hit it, but it was 10 feet high. It wasn’t going up. I can’t really control that."
- Brandon Drury

That’s all in the past now. Over the past eight games, Goldschmidt has gone 11 for 30, with an on-base of .472 and OPS of 1.206. If the playoffs are out of the picture, might as well go out on a hot streak.
