  1. Heyward getting COVID would be a terrible capper to this few weeks of suck.
  2. The most interesting thing about these stretches of incompetence is that you can almost tell if they don't score for like 2 innings then they're not scoring the rest of the game
  3. This ump has called at least 5 STL pitches off the plate as strikes.
  4. I'm not sure why "essentially buying" a draft pick was fine when the Browns traded for Brock Osweiler but not here. I guess it's more blatant, but still.
  5. St. Louis never ever losing doubleheaders and often sweeping them could be a problem They got swept by the Pirates 9 days ago. I knew someone would find one
  6. St. Louis never ever losing doubleheaders and often sweeping them could be a problem
  7. Win the damn game please
  8. BS strike 2 call to Vic, although if Nico had hit that ball with him on base it's probably a DP I guess.
  9. It's kind of incredible that we're somewhat comfortably in first place with Bryant, Rizzo and Javy all being aggressively horsefeathering useless
  10. And naturally STL tries to help us and we won't take it.
  11. This is ridiculous. And did I hear Len say STL is batting .500 with the bases loaded? Least surprising thing ever.
  12. He's alright. Still a downgrade from just Len and JD (although I might just hate 3 man booths on principle), but I can deal with him being in there.
  13. I would say it's insane to consider since the season has technically started already but I guess that didn't stop MLB. I don't think it's happening this year, though.
  14. SMU vs TCU, scheduled for next Friday, has been postponed because of positive COVID tests in the TCU program.
  15. The Pac-12 has a deal with a company called Quidel to provide rapid-response COVID tests and are hopeful this means they can return to sports action before Jan. 1. Anecdotally, it sort of feels like things like this are why the B1G and Pac-12 should've postponed a few weeks like the SEC did. If we've learned anything in 2020, it's that things can change on a dime.
  16. I keep hearing about how good a hitter Jose Martinez is and yet he keeps directing ground balls directly to the shortstop. I'm officially on Miles/Descalso Former STL Double Agent Watch
  17. was he? i think maybe the cubs were so good that it just took us a while to realize joe is just a typical baseball manager I would say he definitely wasn’t bad in the beginning. Not saying he was good necessarily though. You could be right though that the Cubs were good enough to cover up his flaws. He butchered Game 7 but he also out thought Bochy in Game 4 against SF to get the better hitter to the plate during the rally (can’t remember which one). Contreras was the guy he outfoxed Bochy to get up, after burning Coghlan. Occurs to me moves like that aren't really going to happen much anymore in the 3 batter age.
  18. The only gentleman's move is to call the game.
  19. Don't forget he took Kershaw deep to give us an early lead in Game 1 of the 17 NLCS. I thought for all the world we were repeating when that happened.
  20. Jed said Almora's going to South Bend to make room for Maybin.
  21. I might just be wrong here, but it's possible LA didn't want to deal him to someone they might face in the playoffs. I saw a Tweet earlier today about how they were going to be looking at dealing from their depth for farm-system purposes.
  22. I was just about to say the only reason to do this is if you're ditching Almora.
  23. do you and UM realize you're talking about a sample of 6 innings? I can't speak for UM but I wasn't just referring to this year re: walk rate.
  24. His FIP is below 4, so fine, but the walk rate seems uncomfortably high in a bullpen that already features too much of that.
