Finally, our sad vigil comes to a close. After nearly a month of largely punchless hitting from Our Man in the Quad Cities, yesterday Colby Rasmus pulled a Johnny Cueto pitch into the right field seats for his first home run. It was his 54th at-bat. As I’ve noted before, slow starts are nothing new to him, so hopefully he’s just starting to break out. In the seven games since that awful start, he’s hit .333/.375/.600, and his strikeout rate for the season, though still vaguely alarming at 27.5%, is lower than it was in his wood-bat debut.
