Hall has been hot in the month of July. He was hot, because he was facing primarily LHP. That brought his numbers up (expected). Of course, his expected success against LHP somehow fooled Ned (once again) into thinking it meant he could hit RHP. As soon as he starts playing against RHP again, he's hit the skids (expected). Meanwhile, we're judging Branyan of off 33 PA's during July to say that he should be benched in favor of Hall against righties? Gotta love when season, 3-year, and career splits are thrown out the window, in favor of one month's worth of THE WRONG splits (Hall's hot streak against LHP to justify playing him against RHP).
