  1. Schwarbs got lifted for defense that was Denorfia
  2. He did pretty darned good work today, actually. I'll give him a pass because he likely didn't look at the box score, but yeah, Richard was terrific. Grimm, on the other hand
  3. Even though the latter is unlikely, it's crazy that we could still potentially top 2008. Probably in large part because of how shitty we've been since then, I've built that team up in my head to be even more of an unstoppable dong-crushing monstrosity than they were, and this team is in the same stratosphere. So wild.
  4. This offense is so [expletive] sexy it's insane
  5. That Rizzo bomb was ridiculous. Not even a strike. Awesome.
  6. I don't love that Hendricks is struggling, but as regular-season games go, this one's pretty important as it could set us up to potentially surpass the Pirates next weekend. If Joe wants to go for it, with expanded rosters, let's do it.
  7. Schwarber has been striking out a bunch it seems like. Not particularly concerning, but would be nice if he got red hot again.
  8. We do have three good pitchers. We only have two great ones. I guess I should say 3 pitchers we had reason to feel confident in against playoff lineups. Hendricks scares me, even when he's pitching well it's just so hard for a guy without intimidating stuff to sustain.
  9. If we had 3 good pitchers instead of 2, with our dongsmen, I'd feel so much better about our chances in October.
  10. He definitely looked to be slowing down, but Snider played the ball so poorly Jones had no choice but to send him.
  11. I kiddin' Hendricks, I kiddin'. Hendricks is our 3rd best starter right now, if he gets hurt you're throwing Hammel, who's been bad for 2 months now, into hypothetical NLDS starts. No thanks. (I know, you're kidding. But Hendricks is more important than he might appear.)
  12. I like Williams and Coleman. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT I also like Mariota over Newton.
  13. Arrieta luckily doesn't care, gets out of it anyway
  14. I'd go Sankey over Stewart. Tennessee is playing Cleveland so should be in position to run a lot.
  15. "That's not a promotion" - Boston Red Sox
  16. [expletive] yeah Lester. That's a badass job to get that win.
  17. I freely concede, and I'm sure others feel the same way, that some of that philosophy is that I expect some STL [expletive] to aid them in the playoffs and I feel like there's a better chance of avoiding such [expletive] in a 1-game series than a 5-gamer. It's not at all logical. The logical POV is definitely the Cole/Arrieta one (and I'd gladly take that scenario too).
  18. Maybe we got burned by 1 (or 100) too many LaRussa suicide squeezes, but I felt like that would've been a better option there. I could be way off but I feel like Lester has been a good bunter lately.
  19. I want them to pass STL, and I want us to too. Unfortunately it seems ridiculously unlikely both can happen since we play Pittsburgh so much.
