I was at that game and left early because the kids were bored and they were losing by a ton. I got what I deserved.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

remember when MLB.com ranked him #1 over KB lol

 

Was it BP who ranked Buxton over KB on their list of best players under 25 last year, during KB's MVP season?

More bad defense drops the Cards to 2-6 after they get their ugly faces stomped in by Washington

[We Got The Whole 9]

Springer has hit his 4th leadoff blast in the seasons first 8 games

[CubInOK]

Predict when the Reds fall back under .500.

Henceforth, they should be referred to as the Last Place Cardinals (until we're given a reason not to).

Have the Cardinals lost yet today?

Have the Cardinals lost yet today?

They're sitting Molina and Diaz with an of day tomorrow, and starting Matt horsefeathering Adams in LF again, so yes.

I hope they never fire Matheny.

Against the guy with heterochromia.

Dylan Covey is making his big league debut today for the White Sox. No one else cares but he works out at my gym in the offseason. He also went to Kris Bryant's wedding since they were college teammates and showed me pics when he found out I was a Cubs fan.

Kershaw is about to complete a Maddux. 87 pitches through 8 shutout innings. He's pretty good when he doesn't have to face the World Series champions.

Now that I know that I have these powers, I'm going to wait until the NLCS to use them again.

Carlos Martinez has faced 12 batters in the first two innings. None of them have put the ball in play. 6 BB and 6 K.

Carlos Martinez' final line: 5.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 8 BB, 11 K, 118-71 pitches strikes. So he threw 47 balls, 32 of them were on walks and he scattered 15 to the rest of the guys he faced.

That is very strange.

Cards are now 3-8 on the year. Cubs didn't lose their 8th game last year until May 11.

 

I'd feel bad for Dex if he wasn't making 85 million over the next 5 years.

Second time in three starts with 115 or more pitches this season per Keith Law. What is Matheny doing?

In the bottom of the ninth of Nats-Braves, CB Bucknor ruled that a pitch that the batter missed by 6 inches was a foul ball. Would have been a strikeout to end the game. It ended up not mattering but the Braves were only down 2 and had the bases loaded so it easily could have. The players were shaking hands and some of the grounds crew had come onto the field.
