when are you going to stop believing that hot is a thing (at least in the way that you use it)? especially a thing that will carry into games almost a week away Isn't hitters seeing the ball well or having a great sense of the strike zone a thing? Yes, the way I see it individual players fluctuate between somewhat better than their talent level and somewhat worse. If enough of them are peaking at the right time, they will play above their collective talent level
