Anthony Rizzo had attempted drastic measures in the past few days to finally snap out of a two-month hitting funk, from wearing no batting gloves to the plate Saturday “for the first time in years” to changing his walk-up music on Sunday.
“No question, when you’re going through it, It’s not easy. It’s not fun,” Aaron Boone said. “But he’s got a lot of support in that room.“And again, everything points to we should be able to get that out [of Rizzo], with the physical attributes he still possesses. So it was a good day for him, excited for what happened.”
Before “…Ready for it?” Rizzo used Swift’s Song “Bad Blood” as his walkup song for the 2015 and 2016 seasons.“You learn from the ebbs and flows of this game and really just going through it, going through the ups and downs,” said Rizzo, who ended an 0-for-20 skid with a single on Saturday. “It comes and goes no matter what, no matter how well you think it’s going or how bad, it usually evens out, so just stay the course.
