Joey Votto has walked 22 times already.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Votto's only swinging at 13% of pitches out of the strike zone.

 

For comparison, here's the Cubs: http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=20&type=5&season=2013&month=0&season1=2013&ind=0&team=17&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=2,d

Yovani Gallardo busted for DUI... it's only a ticket for the first offense in Wisconsin though...

 

So public union members are punished more severely in Wisconsin than drunk drivers, even ones who blow nearly three times the legal limit.

 

Outstanding state.

It's no Missouri.

Missouri is awful in about 100 different ways. I just expected more from Wisconsin. Very disappointing.

Who expects things out of Wisconsin other than terrible drivers and cardiac arrest?

New Glarus is really good, as is Lakefront. Anyway, I'm going to stop derailing this thread!

And cheese and sausages (and thus enormously fat people).

That's what happens when you have a healthy Tulowitzki and Gonzalez in your lineup. And an improved Dexter Fowler who figured out how to hit a baseball away from Coors Field. They're killing the ball right now. They have 4 guys with an OPS above 1.000. Carlos Gonzalez's OPS is 1.207

[SouthSideRyan]

Giancarlo Stanton has 0 RBI

[apete6]

Giancarlo Stanton has 0 RBI

 

BUY LOW!!!!!

[Derwood]

Giancarlo Stanton has 0 RBI

 

to be fair, he's had exactly 8 PA with RISP this year

CarGo has already put up 1.1 WAR :eek:

 

And Jon Garland has been their best starter so far.
