He's really not taking many pitches, all of a sudden he can't touch the low breaking ball, so pitchers are starting him off with it and he's getting down in the count early.
That's the book on Thome. Ice cold, then red hot, then ice cold, then red hot. Give him a few days and he'll be mashing again. You take the good with the bad sometimes if you want a force like JT in your lineup.
