Walks the pitcher
But then rolls up a GIDP

Stephenson's double has now been ruled an E8.
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
Stephenson saved by some DPs, walked a few too many tonight.
The walk to Neil Walker wasn't good, with Braun on deck should have come in. Maybe was nibbling, maybe overthrowing, maybe just a little wild.
Still, he's a very talented pitcher and I'm glad he's pitching better now. You hate to see stuff like that go to waste.
5 walks isn't ideal but hey, if you only give up 2 hits and strike out 7 it's an acceptable blip.

You can really see the talent there with Stephenson. He has these brain freezes and walks a few but man he really has good stuff.

I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.

2-0 Reds, Suarez RBI.
I'm guessing Stephenson comes out for the seventh, hope not, I'd remove him. Not on pitch count, on high leverage outing.
Brewers seem to mess up a lot of plays defensively for a team doing so well.
Yes, I'm totally sure Suarez was thinking there's no luck in LF when he was watching that pitch come in.
Nice 2-out RBI base hit to the opposite field, though.
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. -- Carl Sagan (Pale Blue Dot)
