Cmon Jonathan LaCroix!!!

[SRB]

MVP! MVP!

[folly412]

Has he also lost both arms? That's the only explanation I can come up with for Gomez walking twice.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Lucroy 5, Dodgers 0.

[AZBrewCrew]

LaCroix!!!!!!!! Werent we all calling for Luc to get a day off yesterday? Looks like his slump is over

[DuWayne Steurer]

Not only are we up 5, Haren is going to be at 50 pitches after this inning.

[topper09er]

Gomez has 13 career multi-walk games including two 3 walk efforts

[wildcat83]

Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc!!!! Have yourself a day! That's one heck of a line in the second inning.

[wildcat83]

No catcher has ever led the National League in doubles... Wouldn't have guessed that.

[topper09er]

Lucroy's other 5+ RBI games

There's that Vin Scully nugget, no catcher has ever led the league in doubles. Lucroy now 1 up on Goldschmidt who is out with 40, and Freddie Freeman is next up in the NL with only 35. Not an insurmountable lead, but seems like he has a good chance.

[hurricanecrush]

but I'd still start Luc at 1B. He'll light up Haren.

Good call

[DuWayne Steurer]

I wish they'd stop making such a big deal about Peraltas win total. Yes, it's great, but it's not an indicator of his talent.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Nice to see Luc light up the scoreboard today after Kershaw made him look terrible yesterday.

Good call.

Here are the only NL catcher 40 double seasons:

 

[pre]Rk Player 2B Year Tm PA Rank

1 Yadier Molina 44 2013 STL 541 2nd

2 Brian McCann 42 2008 ATL 573 7th

3 Terry Kennedy 42 1982 SDP 604 2nd

4 Ted Simmons 40 1978 STL 604 3rd

5 Johnny Bench 40 1968 CIN 607 3rd[/pre]

[trwi7]

Come on Wily. We don't need you walking scrubs like Barney with a 5 run lead.

[SRB]

So Gennett is basically Johnny Estrada now, speed-wise?

[folly412]

Call a squeeze

[coolcool]

I think scooter could have made it standing up.

Thought Piazza would be on there, had to look it up. His best was 38 in 1998, and no other season even close.

[razzzorsharp]

For the time being it seems and that's okay. Also, the Padres are making things interesting.

[endaround]

Really need to think about platooning Herrera and Segura at this point. And yeah that does sound insane.

[stoutdude04]

Don't want to push his hurt leg. You can tell he was t running well.

[folly412]

Nice contact Segura. Not grounding into a DP to short was my goal for his AB.
