    His BB% has been just barely below his career average. Despite missing half of the season, he's second on the team in walks. After this game, he should be right at his average.

    His ability to draw walks has been pretty much a constant throughout his career, whether he's in or out of a slump, including early this season.

    His OBP is low because he's not getting many hits and is striking out at a much higher rate than his career average.

    The sample size is still relatively small as he's only played in 19 games. A lot of his numbers will move closer to his career norms over the next several weeks and months assuming that he stays healthy.

    True but he hasn't been walking recently and with his struggles the squad needs him on base somehow.

    Brendan Ryan is having one of the most forgettable defensive efforts in a series that I can remember in recent history.

    He's like Dan Uggla at the AS game a couple years back.

    Keppinger with a clutch hit against a RHP. Impressive.

    DAM 5 more unearned runs, Stros have been living off miscues.

    Hopefully this is Lance heating up. This team needs his bat to get hot just to win 70+ games.

    Brendan Ryan is solely responsible for 9 unearned runs over the last 7 innings.

    He has 4 errors over the last 10 innings.

    I'm going to guess that he won't be in the lineup tomorrow.

    All from 1 player who has been the most hated athlete in STL over the last 24 hours.

    Kepp also bailing out Kepp's horrible error in the 1st. :grin:

    He owed one to Wandy.

    Keppinger! Cant believe Keppinger is hitting.483 in career with the bases loaded. What an inning.

    Even more impressive is that it was against a RHP.

    He's borderline elite against LHP over his career but quite the opposite against RHP which is why he has been unable to be a consistent starter.

    I hate ground-rule doubles sometimes.

    Berkman is one off the team lead in walks, behind only Bourn, despite missing so many games. That's more of a knock on the rest of the team than anything special for Berkman. This is the norm for him.
