Is it when they decided to rest him regularly (starting with the trip to the Marlins in June)?

  • Before Rest Schedule – .212 Avg, 18R, 9 HR, 26 RBI
  • After Rest Schedule – .318 Avg, 58 R, 19HR, 67 RBI

Or after the first Public kiss with Kate?

 

  • Before Public Kate Kiss – .247 Avg, 41 R, 19 HR, 55 RBI
  • After Public Kate Kiss – .330 Avg, 35 R, 9 HR, 38 RBI

Looks like it is a combination. (getting positive “work outs” on his off days?).
