Happened with 1 out, but whatever

This outing is a good example why Dolis needs to miss more bats. When relievers get burned on BABIP, things get ugly.

Gameday has every pitch in Soto's at bat in the zone.

fake rally please

[javy knows my name]

Barney is trying his best to drive a ball into the ground and get the DP.

[Rizzo Smash]

Soto can't run the bases either.

Is anyone else slightly disappointed that Starlin has gone homerless in April after all the talk about him hitting for more power this year? His SLG is the exact same as last year (.433), he is on pace for the same number of doubles as last year (36), slightly more triples (14 instead of 9) and of course 10 less homers.

 

It's only a month, and of course he's been our 2nd best hitter this year so far, but I was hoping for a little more to start the year.

[Schwarber Fan]

Damn, this was such a winnable series too.

 

Playing much better overall though, and it appears LaHair may be for real.

 

Let's hope they can steal a few games in Cincy.

No, he'd have at least 2 if not for the Wrigley wind.

Yes, I'm very disappointed.

Am I the only one who didn't like Campana hitting in that situation?

What was the alternative?

Mather? Castillo? Someone who's actually a threat to hit it out of the ballpark.

[SouthSideRyan]

You don't need the HR, you need somebody to get on base for your best player waiting on deck.

He hit 3 against the Reds that the wind blew back into the park
