6 RBIs for Yelich already

6 of his 7 HRs vs the Cardinals this year, just brutal

Puig took Kershaw into the cheap seats in his first at-bat back at Dodger Stadium.

he's had a HR in each of the last 7 games vs. st louis

i don't know if any other player has singlehandedly ruined the cardinals so much over such a length of time

The run differential is wacky. Reds definitely left two potential wins on the table in LA this week.

Now 19 games into the season, the Cardinals are still waiting for a starting pitcher to record a seventh-inning out. In fact, they’re only the third team since 1908 -- joining the 1995 Padres and 2018 Cubs -- to go this deep into a season without a starter going longer than six innings.

Mikolas into the 7th, KM, I hope you're happy!

Machado shows a sense of humor here.

two more HRs for Yelich today, he's on pace for 100
― frogbs, Sunday, 21 April 2019 04:25 (five years ago) link
i’m told the record for april homers is 14, shared by a-rod and prince albert
yelich has 13 on the 20th
― mookieproof, Sunday, 21 April 2019 06:46 (five years ago) link
He has a great chance at the RBI records for April (35) and through-end-of-April (36)--both Juan Gonzalez.
― clemenza, Sunday, 21 April 2019 12:42 (five years ago) link
Plus he has three more games against be cardinals in April. He’s got this thing pretty much wrapped up

The slow curve that Yelich hit for the second home run was a pretty good pitch. Even if he was sitting on Ryu to bring the curve on the first pitch, it was right on his hands and Yelich just swatted it.

I looked at his game logs from last year, and he started his epic finish as early as July 8. Since then, coming up on 100 games:
G – 96AB – 380H – 1392B – 263B – 5HR – 38R – 87RBI – 106BB – 52BA –.366OBP – .446SLG – .761

Reds put a curb stomp down on the Cards last night. Cincy hit like the beer league softball team they are designed to be last night. A hot night and some bad pitching, and the Reds will probably play some high scoring games this year. They always seem to have a couple of slug fests a year at Great American as it is such a small park. Ball carries really well on a hot day game, I've seen a couple of them over the years.

all of that may be true. however, jedd gyorko struck out a batter.

worth it!
the wheels came off shortly after you wrote this -- strong work

In a Drew Storen-esque move, Cardinals’ Alex Reyes broke his pinkie by punching a wall after his last start.

On his non-pitching hand, thankfully

Looks like Nick Senzel will join the Reds this weekend. I'm kinda thinking that Scott Schebler's terrible start is probably going to be the end of his shot at being a regular for Cincy and may have signed his ticket to Louisville and eternal AAAA baseball.

cardinals/cubs series starting tomorrow should be good. cards have won five in a row, cubs have won four in a row

nice to see Eric Thames having a solid start

why is ian happ in triple-a? he doesn't strike me as worse (or less versatile) than almora or bote or zagunis
― mookieproof, Thursday, 2 May 2019 20:08 (five years ago) link
probs bcz he's currently slashing .235/.336/.398 in the hitter friendly PCL?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 2 May 2019 20:17 (five years ago) link
he was sent down in march. career MLB wRC+:
happ: 109almora: 92bote: 103zagunis: 54
granted, almora is a better outfield defender
― mookieproof, Thursday, 2 May 2019 20:24 (five years ago) link
maybe there were some other issues?
Bote's been extremely solid and has had a few folk hero moments.
― omar little, Thursday, 2 May 2019 20:27 (five years ago) link
(also the eastern bits of the PCL -- iowa, nashville, round rock, memphis, new orleans -- are actually pitcher-friendly)
― mookieproof, Thursday, 2 May 2019 20:30 (five years ago) link
happ had a bad spring training but i'm guessing there also wasn't roster room to platoon happ and almora like last year. i'd rather have happ than zagunis though
― na (NA), Thursday, 2 May 2019 20:32 (five years ago) link
or better yet keep all those guys AND GET RID OF ADDISON RUSSELL
it's interesting to me (if probably not you) how i suddenly don't hate the cardinals
part of it is surely that they haven't made the playoffs in a few years, but i think it's mostly the absence of tlr/matheny
― mookieproof, Friday, 3 May 2019 17:45 (five years ago) link
also Paul DeJong is rather attractive
