Elaborating on a very quick point made on the L'ville game thread: have loved the contributions made this year by Bryce. But his game has been lagging noticeably the last couple of weeks.
Two factors to note:
1. Fitness - Bryce wouldn't strike anyone as a ripped and buffed marvel, but of late I'm getting the sense that his body is toting more good livin' than he showed in the earlier part of the year
2. Prior seasons inactivity - I think I read where it's been a couple years since Bryce played a full college season? He may be coming up on hitting a "wall" of sorts, the type that hits minor leaguer baseball players coming on their first full MLB season.
I'm hoping that this staff is seeing the same thing, and addressing this with the player - in terms of enhanced fitness training as well as rest to allow his body to catch up.
Between Hugley's conditioning and Mr. Hinson's, some questions gotta be ax'ed of the training staff.
