Sometimes you just have to take the good with the bad.

From MLB.com...

 

Christian Yelich's home run in the fourth inning Saturday against the Mets was his 14th of the season, which ties him with Albert Pujols (2006) and Alex Rodriguez (2007) for the most home runs all time before May.

 

He has three games remaining in the month of April (after tonight) to break the record.

 

I have a feeling Belinger might have a stake in this record as well before all is said and done.

You take the good you take the bad you take the rest and there you have.....the facts of life.

[OnTheBlack]

Grandal is terrible at catching the ball.

 

 

It's just ridiculous. I've never seen a regular who's this bad. It's close to watching little league where the kid has to constantly turn around and run to get the ball.

exactly!

I would have liked having Woody start the 6th at 87 pitches. And not pinch hitting for him with a worse hitter.

[coolhandluke121]

Thames and Gamel against every single starting RHP from now on please.

[OnTheBlack]

Nice to catch deGrom AND Thor on off days...

 

Either that or we are just that good!

 

deGrom sucked in his two starts prior to last night with the "elbow barking" and Syndergaard outside of one start has sucked all year.

 

 

That's very often a harbinger of things to come. Velocity is still there, command starts to slip and then TJ surgery comes.

 

Of course it's looked like that was coming a half dozen or so times with Justin Verlander in his career, so maybe not.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Pouring it on with the insurance run there.

[adambr2]

Remember just a month ago when many looked at Thames and Anderson as dead weight that we could hopefully just drop on someone?

 

I'm glad we still have both.

Burnes 4.2 IP 0 R 3 H 1 BB 7 K 81 P

That’s his final line, Sanchez got the out.

[pacopete4]

Anyone else think Thames looks leaner this year?

Thames has a 1.500 OPS the last week. Whatever he looks like, it’s working.

[adambr2]

Obviously it's wayyy early to say what will happen but it's worth keeping in mind that we do have a $7.5M option on Thames next year. If he could give us a decent season and Aguilar continues to flop this badly it's not totally implausible that we could end up picking the option up.

[yfinn6]

Real-time, I thought Braun was safe.

 

And I'm wrong.

I've thought about that quite a bit. It's a credit to them both to bounce back strong after losing their starting spots. Heck, Thames even lost his bench spot to Granderson at the end of last year. They are both talented players who've had quite a bit of success and their resilience is certainly showing this year.

[Brew crew 92]

Hope woodruff’s performance eases the worry somewhat for some with our rotation.

[Eye Black]

Wilson’s honeymoon period may be nearing an end.

[folly412]

Can we DFA Wilson for Jackson yet?

 

 

I didn't know Gamel could do that either!

[Oxy]

Gamel is a solid baseball player.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Take wilson out. Yeesh

The worse he hits the better he pitches.

[adambr2]

So, uh, the reasons Alex Wilson was available for dirt cheap are becoming a lot more obvious. He should make Matt Albers feel pretty safe.

[Brew crew 92]

Ben Gamels coming out party. Professional hitter, fast, good base runner, good fielder, good arm.
