I saw that Piscotty is going to be able to play before the end of the season. I feel like he really won't but Missouri is the perfect kind of place for Russell Wilson's miracle bubble water to take off and the Cardinals are just way into the hype.
The wind effect has been negligible the last 2 nights. There was only like 2-3 games this home stand where the wind was a significant factor against the hitters. They are just struggling right now. They will get it together before next week It's concerning that the offense sucked the first 3 months with the wind blowing in, got hot with the wind blowing out, and is struggling again with the wind blowing in. Show your work. Because I recall about 5 games with the wind blowing out.
This has to be the first inter league game where both teams have already clinched playoff spots thus having a legit shot at being a WS preview There are interleague matchups everyday now so I bet in the last few years there have been a couple.
Just an FYI to my fellow MLB.tv watchers. They done fucked up their blackouts today. If we hadn't clinched last night I would drive over to MLBAM headquarters and throw rocks through the windows here in Austin.
Actually, it was one guy twice. nope. HBP: Wong (by Cahill), Wong (by Rodney), Garcia (by Rondon) yea, two of their guys. Not when you asked the question
I'm the first in line to rip on umpires but that was handled ok in my book. 3rd batter hit after yesterday's shenanigans even though it wasn't on purpose I get it. An ump show would've been ripping the mask off and theatrically throwing him out and the cards would've got themselves a case of the redass if that happened.
