A trio of RHP coming up against Cincinnati, let's see if Ike can get into a little groove here. His ability to draw walks and lay off the junk has been impressive. He's given a few of these balls a good ride.

LETS GO IKE

I think terry sees the light for Ike, which is why he's beginning to slide into the 5 slot...which belonged to murph (his struggles don't help)

Hopefully this does not jinx Ike's climb toward his number of at-bats.

Lets hope he is on his way to a solid year

If he goes on a serious productive streak, the bad beginning is meaningless. Hopefully he does so.

CHOOO CHOOOOOOOOOO

From .188, to .191, to .192, to .194, to .196 he's chugging away!

Ike's also rocking a decent .890 OPS in the month of June (which includes general suckiness from June 1 through June 8 )

I've been hard on Ike, but now i'm on board. Glad to see he's turning it around. Love the Oppo hard hit flies.

I really hope this is for real and I can stop banging the drum to demote him.

.279/.410/.426/.836 since 5/23

A lot of that production is from his last 10 games, though...hopefully that is the real turnaround...

I'd settle for that line with a bit more slugging (and likely significantly less OBP) for the rest of the year. It would show he's healthy.

It took some softballs and the Wrigley wind...but Ike's off the interstate !!

Next stop .225...right?
