I keep expecting Gardner to try to steal bases.

His on-base% is way up, his steal opportunities are way up, but he has either lost his aggressiveness, lost a bit of his speed, underestimates the strategic importance of stolen bases at the top of the lineup (i.e., he would rather wait for the power hitters to drive him in), or he is afraid of injury.

I wish someone would ask him.

Like a sports reporter who covers the Yankees.
