Fortunately to even get one game.

Olson is having a great season and hit two huge HRs this weekend. He leads the majors in doubles, is second in HRs (34, one behind Schwarber and Alvarez), and 9th in OPS (.895). He has been the best position player on the team this season by a country mile and is probably going to win another Gold Glove.
How people still complain about this guy is mind boggling.

Olson and Riley
Don't lump together Olson with Riley.
Olson has carried this team offensively. Riley is obviously a mental case with the bat this year.

I like Olson.
He also strikes out a ton. Doesn’t hit for average and a lot of his home runs are meaningless.
I don’t understand how a .265 hitter is beyond critique. (.258 lifetime).
It’s not like he’s going to be in the HOF.

If he plays like this for another 4 years or so, yes he will

Makes up for it with a lot of walks and slug.

If Olson ends up in the HOF it will completely water down the hall.
He would have one of the worst lifetime averages of any player in it.
And he is helping choke away this season. 0-4 today. At least he didn’t strike out.

He’s played in his 921st consecutive game which leads the MLB and is 8th all time.

Schwarber is going to be ultimate litmus test... Have to think he gets to 500 home runs before he retires and he is probably going to have a career batting average in the 220 range, with very suspect defensive skills. Im pretty sure that no player with 500 or more home runs has ever been left out (PED connected players excluded).
Olson's average looks very respectable next to that mess and Olson has 3 gold gloves and is known for his defense. Olson is probably going to flirt with 450-500 if he can stay healthy.

Led the mlb in total War at 1B
If you just want offensive stats he was 3rd when not accounting for fielding with a fWAR of 4.0 behind Alonso and The brewers guy.
He is also tremendously underpaid at least per WAR cost
Olson isn’t the issue

I suppose in modern baseball strikeouts are the norm.
Some guy on the Brewers struck out more times this year than T Gwynn did in 11 years.
Modern baseball sucks.
And get off my lawn.
