Buxton 4th.  He must have a clause in his contract that says that is the lowest he can swing and miss in the lineup.  5 tool guy is down to a 1 tool guy and his too is with a plastic hammer for a bat.  Bremer will most likely say even though he can't play in the field, he can still run and steal bases.  Don't want to hear it, if he can do that, he can play in the field.  Last 15 games is batting a whopping .111 with 21 K's in 45 AB's. 

Kepler, 5th. Time to move on from him as well, but FO sure won't give up on $8.5MM defensive skill set with horrific offensive skills.  Read a stat that said the shift ban has helped lefty batters by about 10-15% success rate.  Kepler must not have listened to that stat as his career avg is .231 and he is .204 after being at .180 and some change over a week ago.

Stewart to the IL. Yikes! That hurts!

One less reliable reliever available in an already subpar bullpen.

Losing Stewart for any amount of time, is going to be a real killer for this team. He was pitching great. It probably means more of Pagan too. That's like a double dagger.

Dreaded "pitching elbow soreness",

I remember when guys like Jim Perry, Dave Boswell, Brade Radke, etc. would have 'elbow soreness" and still take their turn or maybe miss a start.  Probably not the smartest thing to do, but they still went out and performed.

Bob Gibson in his autobiography said he never got a full nights sleep, throughout his career, because of the pain in his arm.

Why is Kepler hitting ahead of Royce?!

Because Kepler was the first guy in the clubhouse and asked rocco.  First come, first served.

Joe, we don’t need another CG shutout.

But it would be nice. 

Jinxed. On the first pitch. Will we never learn?
