6/9 GDT: Cardinals(May) @ Mets(Peralta) 6:10 PM CT

[st.lewis11]

Ivan takes a pitch off the hand and is the first base runner of the game.

Doesn't he already lead the majors in HBP? Is he crowding the plate or do opposing pitchers really like pitching him inside?

He leads the NL with his now 14 HBP; one behind the ML lead held by White Sox Antonacci.

I don't think Ivan crowds the plate but he doesn't give ground either if they come inside.

I believe JJW is in double digits also
