Here is an explanation of this weekly feature. This entry lists the best and worst for the past 30 days of the 2016 regular season, through games of Sunday, September 25.
Comment of the week: Freddie Freeman‘s batting average over the past 30 days is better than the two worst OPSs over the past 30 days. That’s probably more of a comment about Brandon Moss and Aaron Altherr than it is about Freeman. But speaking of Freeman: If a player has a career year in an empty stadium, does it make a sound? Also, who is that pitcher in the Angels rotation, and what has he done with Ricky Nolasco?
