Fowler Goes Greek

Fowler plated a run in the Rockies’ win against the Reds, going 1 for 4 with a strikeout.

Spin: Fowler has been hot at the plate in his last 10 games, batting .351 while limiting his strikeouts to just 5 in those 37 at-bats. It seems to suggest he’s made an adjustment at the plate--good news for fantasy owners, but bad news for pitchers in the National League. Reds’ starting pitcher Homer Bailey got even more bad news from Fowler when he found this note taped to his locker after the game:

Dear Homer,

Your nickname is also the nickname of my favorite cartoon character as well as my favorite Greek poet. Did you know that some believe he was blind? That’s ironic, isn’t it? Cause I thought the same thing about you when you threw me that fastball over the plate in the 2nd inning. Because anyone that throws Dexter a fastball over the plate with men on base must be blind.

Your pal,

Dex
