Just to add to your points:Meh.
This is you guys focusing in far too much on results of individual ABs during various games. I credit it to the passion some of you have to follow and comment on every single game.
Jose was better in high leverage situations than he was overall this season. Had an 18.8% BB rate in those situations too. He was taking his BBs. Just his Ks or pop outs got more attention from you guys.
He also just put up the highest BB% in his career with RISP, 19%. But again, that went unnoticed because the K's and pop ups got more attention from you guys. Jose hates to BB with RISP too. Plays into his aggressiveness with runners on, and why he got himself out a lot more than normal this year.
Need a better lineup to get him back to seeing pitches to hit consistently in those situations.

Career-high walk rate with RISP (as you stated)
Strikeout rate in line with his career numbers (12.6%)
.208 BABIP (there it is)
Personally, I don’t put much weight in RISP stats within a single season. The sample sizes are inherently small which leads to a lot of noise and variance.
If you look at most guys’ career numbers with RISP, it usually falls in line with their overall numbers.
