It’s ok Musgrove. The pitcher was up next.

The pitching had really covered for the crap ass offense in Pittsburgh.

His hand is a mess

Do something Russell

Trevor Cahill with one hit in 7 innings. Some devil magic happening in Oakland.

Can't he develop a "shoulder issue" which forces him to the 60 day? He can take the rest of the year off and maybe Hickey can salvage something out of him next spring. Relying on Hickey to save Chatwood is like relying on Chatwood to give you 3 innings It is going to be interesting to see what happens with Hickey this offseason

I am really happy Maddon yanked his ass

It worked last time Have a good night guys. Chatwood is pitching tomorrow.

Was ball one right down the middle

Jesus. Don’t blow this.

Cole seems to have been Hickeyed

For those that have the Athletic, the bitter Dusty article is interesting. Still hates the Cubs and is still pissed about the dropped third strike call where Javy hit the catcher. The conversation about analytics is rich.

http://www.sportingnews.com/ca/mlb/news/can-st-louis-cardinals-mlb-harrison-bader-mike-trout/1ny6ddixlpa13zonjkq63jdk1 Nothing to say. Wow.

The only one who has really fooled me is Quintana. I did think he was going to turn it around, at least somewhat. I thought there were signs of progress. But I only thought there might be progress because of what he's done the rest of his career. If he had pitched like Eddie Butler before this season, my thinking would be a lot different. Anyway, I was wrong. If anything, he's gotten worse. I've since given up on him. I wasn't a big fan of Quintana. I didn't say anything when we traded for him last season because everyone was super excited about getting him. The Cubs did takeoff and play better in the second-half of last season and we absolutely needed to make a trade. I wanted us to get Verlander last season before the trade deadline, but I had no way of knowing that he'd be this dominant so I don't want to take credit for this version of Verlander. I also thought we could get Verlander without having to give up too much or our best prospects. I'm a big Eloy fan and I think he'll be really good for the White Sox. It sucks that we gave up Eloy to get Q because we could've flipped him for someone else. Opportunity cost is a very real thing and I'm pretty sure Eloy's value has only increased since we traded him. I didn't mind giving up Cease because I think he's a reliever all the way. Maybe he becomes a high-leverage guy/Closer, but I don't think he'll ever have a season over 3 WAR. Hopefully Quintana does better next year, but yeah I've pretty much given up on him this year as well. The optimal scenario is Darvish can get back and be one of the four in the playoff rotation. I actually wouldn’t mind Quintana to be the middle inning guy like Maeda was last year for the Dodgers. Q with just a couple innings here and there could be valuable.

I did the math. If we go 2 of 3 and the cards go two of three, we would be 4.5 up on Milwaukee and 5 on the Salsa Kings.

Hopefully the Cards pull 2 of three from the brewers and we do the same from the Buccos

Hey. Nice job Jon. Keep doing that. 1-0 wins are cool, but runs would be nice.

For those of you wanting to vomit but don’t like sticking your finger down your throat, tune into the Cardinals announcers.

I was going to include that exact gif.

Enjoy the rest of the day guys. Lester is pitching tomorrow.

Don't mess around Strop! Nice catch Ian.

Our starters are schizo

Or not. Braun LOL

This is where we get to hear Heyward scream the f word on the pop up
