Soler's had enough 110 mph lineouts to deserve that.

Please Castro, don't roll over on it and GIDP

Observing Bryant, I'm inclined to agree with the Moneyball analysis that a hitter with a good eye is more often born than made.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Really need to take advantage here.

[Guest]

Please Castro, don't roll over on it and GIDP

and then the dp.

 

damn, that sucks.

[Tryptamine]

Starlin is going to hit into 20 or more DPs this year. He just can't elevate anything at all.

[CyHawk_Cub]

So many grounders Starlin. At least we're running up the pitch count

Well, he didn't roll over it.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

If I'm adding it up right, the Cubs have moved into the MLB lead for OOB+CS

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I don't enjoy how this game as a feeling of the Cubs dominating and it really now showing. These often seem to end in frustrating losses for teams.

For the sake of context, 7th in MLB in OBP.

 

Not sure how the games played stack up but I'm pretty sure we're on the low end of the spectrum there.

Poor Ross. He sounds like a bit of dead weight.
