I see bad defense isn't helping him either.

So I just got home and see that the score is 5-0. Did Volstad actually walk a bunch of people and give up a bomb or two or did the BABIP dragon get him again.

Allowed a 2 out 2 run double to Capuano was the killer. Allowed couple of Sac Fly. He just not very good lol. Will be an inning eater for a bad teams in MLB for his career

I see the strikezone is just as bad as yesterday, and the umps have just as short as fuse...

That was the 1st bad DEF play of game. Sorry but my theory on him is cause he 6'8 his sinker start on chest and moves straight to hitting zone. Very hittable in my opinion

Just like LaHair and Campana aren't going to hit nearly .400 the whole year, I don't think Stewart, Soto, and Volstad will be this bad all year. It works both ways.

I agree it all evens out but Stewart never really done anything in his career. Volstad had 1 good year and i think its cause batters saw 6'8 and expected to see 95 MPH + and when they realized he low 90's and pitches come across there belt to thighs he became bad. Soto i could see bouncing back still. Yes LaHair wont hit the way he been all year. Dont make fun of my boy Campanan :p

See that is what I don't get with you and others of your ilk about Stewart. You don't want to look at the advanced stats that point to players been unlucky, and at the same time don't want to look at the fact that Stewart has been hitting the ball hard right at people for weeks. I just don't get it.

I want to say Capuano has done this more often than not, but I would have to check the career stats to know for certain. I just remember being annoyed anytime he pitched for the Brewers against us with how those games seemed to go.

Tim Timmons is having a really bad day. And I really want to know what Lilly said because apparently it made his teammates in the dugout chuckle :lol:

Kevin Goldstein‏@Kevin_Goldstein

At some point, it's time to give up on the Ian Stewart as every day 3B thing.

Kevin Goldstein‏@Kevin_Goldstein

That's adorable. RT @BrandonDMilla: @Kevin_Goldstein He actually hasn't been nearly as bad as his #'s indicate.


There a reason why he has a bad slash line in his career. Il make argument that you can find numbers to make any player look good somewhere.

8-3 with a 3.65 ERA and a sparkling 1.165 WHIP.

He seems to do really well against Cubs. Brenly and Kasper talked earlier its cause Cubs hitters are never patient with him.

That is my point though. You want to ignore the numbers, but you also want to ignore the actual at bats he has been taking.

Yeah that seems to be the case since they really don't strikeout that much against him 6.9 K/9 but his K/BB is over 3!
