“The thing why I’m probably not an everyday player right now is because I have those lulls,” Goins said. Goins and Darwin Barney are playing in pretty much a strict platoon, with Goins facing right-handed starters. Goins understands his history of hot streaks and lulls and knows he needs to find a way to be more consistent. This season, the Texas native is 8-for-11 with the bases loaded, driving in 13 of his 31 runs. For his career, Goins has a .414 average with the bases loaded in 26 at-bats , with a .991 OPS.
