  1. Shocking that a Cardinals broadcaster is on ESPN 1000 and says that the Rangers are the best team in baseball
  2. Joe on the score said that Contreras will start tonight and might catch 2 or possibly 3 of the guys in the rotation on a regular basis Coghlan will lead off, Zobrist will hit 5th tonight. Almora will be in CF
  3. Apparently we're likely to have like apocalyptic conditions tomorrow afternoon so let's win this so we don't have to dwell on a loss during an off day again.
  4. Yesterday, one of the beat writers said on Twitter that Soler would be eligible to come off the DL this week but La Stella is ahead of him. Both would have to go on a rehab assignment. yeah I think they will be very careful with Soler, I wouldn't be surprised if its another 3 weeks before he's back.
  5. Between Strops over the top celebrations, the addition of Willson's energy/swagger and even Miggy has been fist bumping after big outs, we are going to piss off a ton of meatballs. I love it.
  6. Joe wants a 2nd lefty in the pen and don't feel like they have a better option available. Also Joe probably sees this.. OPS against vs. LHB: 08 - .650 09 - .645 10 - .574 11 - .639 12 - .591 13 - .639 15 - .534 16 - .924 I agree he probably feels like there is no better options so he has to keep coming out there, but also he probably also thinks that based on his history, his lack of success against LHB this year is an aberration and will eventually regress to his career numbers.
  7. I am not sure why Joe is extending this many opportunities to turn it around. I mean he was pretty good last year but even at last year's value, he's not exactly invaluable. All that said, let Joe do whatever he wants with the large lead we have. I highly doubt he's putting Richard in during a tied playoff game.
  8. What does it mean? Yes please do share, I am intrigued
  9. Wada went on the DL a couple of times because of arm injuries when he was starting, but yeah your premise seems true overall.
  10. [tweet] [/tweet] Jeez. Thought we were just getting another good player. Didn't realize we were also getting yet another great personality
  11. Hard to fault Almora for that, he read the ball was getting by Molina, didn't anticipate it bouncing off the ump's leg right back to him. Yeah. Seeing the replay, Almora made the right read. Still have no idea what Coghlan was doing. I know, my first thought after Almora was called out was "oh damn well at least we still have a RISP"
  12. Wainwright has been a lot better over his last 6-7 starts but we will have to turn that right around tomorrow night. Cubs win 8-3
  13. Lackey is 1-2 against the Cardinals this year and Heyward is 3-27. Secret agents confirmed
  14. Losing to these mediocre slime balls feels like 2 losses
  15. Heyward was showing signs of going into a streak but the last 5-6 games he's stopped driving the ball with authority again. I'm still convinced he will get out of this funk and be solid offensively but I'm quite frustrated watching him at the plate in the meantime
  16. 4-3 against this horsefeathers team this year.
  17. Probably SSS given his career numbers but he's hit a lot better against lefties this year than righties
  18. Come on Heyward. Show me how awesome you really are.
  19. horsefeathers cogs didn't even get to second.
  20. when is Russell going to stop striking out so much
  21. Strikeout, walk, walk, double. That's how you get a scoreless inning!
  22. Maddon playing "Screw (the Cardinals) Closer." How many runs goes he have to give up to be DFA'd? Is it worth rooting for a loss to the Cardinals and loss of RD?
