  1. I know our bullpen has been good but man it makes a guy jealous when it's not even a close game and the other team can just pop out a guy I've never even heard of who strikes out a third of his opponents
  2. Sometimes I wish I had an online betting account so I could bet exclusively on completely obvious things like "Cam Smith will torch the Cubs in his first series against them."
  3. horsefeathers Alec Burleson has never had a better defensive week in his life, including when he was a 6-foot 180-pound 8-year-old dominating the kids' league.
  4. Please just stop hitting him 5th for a while. I know RISP isn't a repeatable skill or non skill but it's totally mental with him (and us, frankly) at this point
  5. He isn't hitting well anyway but he seems to turn into a total spaz with RISP
  6. I'm going to choose to believe PCA wouldn't have done that if the first pitch had been correctly called a ball
  7. But by the time it does they might be a lot closer. I would've been satisfied with a split so winning the next 2 still makes this at least OK for me, but Boyd and Shota will need to step up to make that happen.
  8. Much more fun top of the 3rd, but why do we have to hit missiles to get them out and every fly ball STL hits finds the bullpen?
  9. horsefeathers nut bar lights us up every single time it feels like
  10. Can't smoke everything at fielders all night, right? Right?
  11. I swear to Lucifer St. Louis purposely seeks out dudes with stupid names to annoy other fans when they perform well. Goes back to Skippy Schumaker. Lars Nootbaar and Mike McGreevy absolutely fit the bill.
  12. I am not nearly smart enough to understand why Brown is so wildly underperforming his advanced numbers, I just know I'm growing tired of seeing how good they are every time he gets shelled.
  13. You're correct, he was viewed as a big get.
  14. LOL I said aloud "Oh, just hit a home run" right before that swing. He's the goddamn MVP
  15. He did not just do that Holy horsefeathers
  16. Brown really walked the tightrope this game. But hey, we're still in it. Let's get a few in the air and get them out of the park.
  17. I believe ESPN showed this at some point during early COVID lockdowns. Very enjoyable.
  18. Civale asked for a trade after being told he was going to the pen. There were probably a few chuckles in the Milwaukee FO when they found the Sox made the best offer. "You want a trade, buddy? Here ya go. Enjoy total irrelevance."
  19. Something's going to have to give at some point on this whole "Brown's peripherals are outstanding while his actual results are largely bad" trend
  20. Not coincidentally, that was the last time I ever panicked about a bad stretch. If that team can go 5-15, then we can deal with teams not as good as them having rough times.
  21. Frustrating game but Detroit played awesome and the Cubs played slightly less than awesome. No more Skubals this weekend so this series is still there for the taking.
  22. It's a good thing Shaw got that hit. Skubal may not allow another one
  23. That play at first with Shaw is about as close as I've ever seen. Legitimately don't know if he was safe.
