Suppose that a batter is 5-for-7 over the course of his last seven plate appearances. Pretty good two-game stretch, eh? Now, suppose that another player has a career 5-for-7 mark against the day's starter, going back a few years. (You could substitute "the reliever who was just brought in" if you like.) Which is the more meaningful, the last seven PA's chronologically, or those seven PA's against the pitcher?
