Am I late to the party, but - didn't they used to do stars Sunday?

 

Stats

[Ballgame64]

Lead off double followed by three terrible at bats. Making outs is one thing, but swinging at terrible pitches is ridiculous. It appears no one has a plan at all when they step into the batters box.

[TruffleShuffle]

I guess Valbuena really did not like when I said he has the same fWAR as Robinson Chirinos.

Randall Grichuk sounds like the name of someone who would be president of the douchiest, bro-est frat on campus.

Not 100% sure why Coghlan owns a glove

[XZero771679666304]

Coghlan is just a brutal defender.

[kujay]

Well that was ugly.

[Schwarber Fan]

I hate that roided up clown.

[Sammys Boombox]

Way to angry at the moment to be considered a rational person.

After 3 innings, Lackey was just over 60 pitches and Wood was in the mid 30's. After 5, Lackey at 76 while Wood can't make it out of the 5th and is close to 100 pitches. The "grinding out at bats" message doesn't seem to be getting through.

You're aware that two of the most patient hitters (Rizzo, Soler) aren't in the lineup, Baez and Alcantara are in their early 20s and have like 200 at bats between them, etc

[Little Slide Rooter]

Baez and Soler may be off to very different starts, but both need to be taken with the same grain of salt.

You are aware that you are making excuses right?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

For a guy who is struggling at the plate, he sure does hit a lot of homers.

Awesome to see Mendy produce...from both sides of the plate

Ok well let's just ignore all the extenuating factors. Boooooo 21 year old Baez with 100 plate appearances at the major league level, booooooo.

Those Budweiser commercials are going to make me hate Lionel Richie. Which is sad.

And on cue...it's on again

[kujay]

That had to hurt.

[ScrubMD]

Here comes the roid rage.

Would've been nice to be able to bury a slider on 0-2 instead of the 1-1 count he was given instead
