FACTS/FLUKES: Rizzo, McNeil, Quintana, V. Robles, J. Vargas

Rizzo restores power … Anthony Rizzo (1B, CHC) had a fine 2018 season, but his string of four consecutive 30+ HR seasons came to an end as he finished the year with 25 HR. Through 398 AB in 2019, he has left the yard 21 times while sporting essentially the same batting average.  Have his underlying skills changed?
