The actual answer would be: That's his sixth GDP in 143 AB's. I hear ya GDP's never feel great.

If I'm not mistaken, 5 of them have come within the past week, and more than half of them have been with the bases loaded. 

[mtsportsfan]

There ya go .nice ab ! 

 

[BruisedCrew]

Bet the Cubs are wishing now they had let Urias walk so they could face Yelich with the bases loaded. 

[Brewcrew82]

I love Daniel Norris. 

[folly412]

Urias has been good ever since coming back. 

I'd say Norris owes us but that was a decent pitch.  

[Opening Day]

Norris owes us for last year, IMO

[JRob1125]

Should've been a walk, instead it's a 3 run homer. I'll take it

[BruisedCrew]

What was the exit velocity on Yelich’s latest grounder to the right side?

I love the guy but his hitting makes me want to cry. 

[mtsportsfan]

Another roll over , can't believe how far Yelich has fallen off . keep hoping for some sorta comeback. When do they finally move him out of the three hole !

Two in the past week - now 3. Pretty close. I think you're right, tho, on the 'they seem to be consistently bases loaded' scenarios. Rough outs. Definitely not 'McClutcheon' at present.

There is a universe in which giving up Reese Olson for Daniel Norris could go down as one of the most cringeworthy trades of the Stearns era. Olson would be a top 10-12 prospect in the system right now, IMO.

[BruisedCrew]

Please keep the ball in the park against Wisdom. 

[BruisedCrew]

Seven runs isn’t going to be enough. 

[HarryDoyle]

Cutch is getting a workout in right field.

[HarryDoyle]

Just get out of the inning with the lead and let Williams and Hader finish it off.

[Joseph Zarr]

This is starting to feel like a Biloxi Shuckers game. ?

That would be the plan but a one run lead isn’t very comfortable no matter who’s pitching in these conditions. 
 

Need more runs.

Starting center fielder Tyrone Taylor!

Center Field WOAH SOLVDD

[mtsportsfan]

Just was about to say how Brossue hurt us again  but that was a bad hop , did a good job to knock it down!

[adambr2]

Not a strike, but it certainly was to Urias in the 1st.

[mtsportsfan]

Know that wasn't a strike  , but the ump has been calling that a strike almost all day !

[DuWayne Steurer]

see. no problem

[HarryDoyle]

Atta boy, Williams.

[adambr2]

Atta boy Wisdom, thank you very much.
