    Before the season I kept telling myself "don't be disappointed if they win fewer than the 97 from the 2015 team, it's very hard to win 97 games and they could be an even better team and win fewer games." But I kept looking at the roster and thinking, damn, this team is just too damn talented. It's got to be better than last years. And, well, how right I was.

    bummer we lost this but I think we've seen enough encouraging things from Montgomery as a starter that makes him a legitimate contender for being the 5th starter next year

    the two weeks plus between clinching and the beginning of the playoffs will be excruciating

    Lester starting last year with like 5 flukily bad starts because of terrible BABIP luck really soured people on him for the year and its unfortunate because he's been been nothing short of fantastic these entire 2 years

    I was gonna offer this. That season BABIP of .251 is so ludicrously out of step with decades of history... are we *that* good on defense and *that* good at getting weak contact? (Perhaps pitchers who induce weak contact synergize exceptionally well with great defenders, both improving each other?) If it was just luck though, and we were that much of an outlier, you would have expected the half season BABIP to start regressing, and it really hasn't, over thousands of batted balls. I dunno.

    The randos are flooding onto the boards and its only going to get worse as the playoffs near

    The Mets, Giants or Cardinals are an awful trifecta but I will be happy if the Even Year [expletive] does avoid the postseason because I think the second they hit the postseason in a year thats divisible by 2 and they are guaranteed a World Series appearance

    ahhhh Baseball is good my friends
  9. BigSlick
    Nice.

    Huh? Rondon was up in the pen during that inning. Soler is batting for Lester. That wasn't what the radio cast said but clearly they were wrong! Pat was saying all confidently and assuredly "NOBODY throwing in the bullpen"
  11. BigSlick
    alright - good
  12. BigSlick
    ....nobody throwing in the bullpen? I'm sorry Joe, but thats idiotic. Jon is over 100 pitches and we have a plethora of bullpen guys to work with. Just let them work
  13. BigSlick
    Bravo Jon, Bravo
  14. BigSlick
    All of the Cardinals players are bad, and all of ours are good Amazing
  15. BigSlick
    Wow Bryant isn't getting any sort of luck today
  16. BigSlick
    Really glad to see Dex and Zobrist getting it going

    You better take out Carlos Martinez if you know whats good for you, fools
  19. BigSlick
    Nice. Nice.

    Death to the Cardinals - do not steal my beloved Javier Baez slide strategies
  21. BigSlick
    What a game for Ross he's had like 3 games like this this season
  22. BigSlick
    He's listening to me
  23. BigSlick
    That would have been really swell
  24. BigSlick
    :-|
  25. BigSlick
    Well if Carlos Martinez wants to throw a big fit because he gave up a homer and then get on tilt and suck, I'm ok with that
