Facing a lefty pitcher in Patrick Corbin, the left-handed hitting Fowler managed to post a 1 for 4 day with a run and an RBI.
Spin:
While some may think it odd for Fowler to be in the lineup against a left-handed pitcher, it's due to the fact that those people are probably dead. Anyone who knows Dexter Fowler is everyone, and so only dead people are culprits of being unaware that he defies the need for statistical research. In fact, it was even formally announced by Major League Baseball earlier this week that they will stop keeping track of his stats altogether under the premise that it is "an egregious waste of time to extrapolate numbers out of something that exists beyond numbers." This comes on the heels of the report that prior to the season, new Rockies manager Walt Weiss had 162 lineup cards custom-printed with Fowler's already on them not so much because Weiss is a lazy fat ass, but because he's simply playing the percentages. Because when you play Dexter Fowler, you're playing the percentages.
All-Star Watch:
Fowler is currently the 13th ranked player in all of baseball, and the 3rd ranked outfielder in the National League.
