    Brandon Crawford with seven hits in tonight's game versus the Marlins.

    Out of the 4 teams seriously vying for an NL wild card, I'd prefer the Cards and Marlins to any other permutation. I'd most like Marlins/Pirates, but I feel like I've nearly written Pittsburgh off. I agree Cards and Marlins are the 2 worst of the realistic candidates but the difference between the Cardinals and another team is not worth the emotional risk of another Cards-Cubs series. I prefer smooth sailing and saving my emotions for winning the World Series I suppose you have a point, but I have have zero fear of the Cardinals right now. Though the playoffs are the playoffs, and if by some act of satanic intervention they were to eliminate us, that would be crushing. But otoh, bouncing their asses for a second straight year would be oh so gratifying.

    Why? I'd much rather the Marlins take that spot. I can't handle another Cardinals Cubs series. The Cubs are the clear better team but as discussed ad nauseum the advantage is like 55-45 Out of the 4 teams seriously vying for an NL wild card, I'd prefer the Cards and Marlins to any other permutation. I'd most like Marlins/Pirates, but I feel like I've nearly written Pittsburgh off.

    I'd rather see the Cards in the playoffs than the Mets.

    Nah, they're rebuilding, and their pen just did what their pen has done all year. Price probably needs to be fired after the season, though. He's terribad.
  6. Thusly Boned
    How charitable of the Reds.
  7. Thusly Boned
    Haha, in the ninth the Reds remember that they're the Reds.

    It's not shocking that the Cards have fallen well off their 2015 pace, given that they had an historic outlier pitching wise, and being that they lost their best position player (by WAR) and pitcher from last year. Mozeliak gambled on guys like Grichuk, Wong, etc., and that gamble has failed. Of course Aledmys Diaz has been pretty great, but he's the exception. Their defense is horrific, and that has impacted their pitching staff. And Rosenthal turned into a pumpkin. And I think that the Cards FO greatly underestimated the effect age would have on guys like Wainwright and Holliday (he's healthy and not hitting, I was assured that was something that did not happen). The Cardinals are getting old, and just aren't all that talented. Oh, and Mike Matheny is a dunce. Pittsburgh is a more curious case to me, and a huge part of their disappointing season stems from Andrew McCutchen suddenly and inexplicably turning into a near replacement level player. And Liriano turning into Mr. Hyde. That team should be better than it is.

    I don't know about a monster, but lots of people have given up on him way too early. As long as he can be disciplined at the plate, I expect very good things.
  10. Thusly Boned
    Rizzo should/could have had like five more homers over the past week or so.
  11. Thusly Boned
    Hey Man, I somehow read Braves as A's at first and thought Chad Bradford. Long day, I guess. Is Brad Clontz who you're thinking of?

    In the first three games of a four game series against the Twins, the Indians have allowed 35 runs. The SP in these games have been Salazar (who is now on the DL), Carrasco and Bauer. The Twins have set a record for the most XBH tallied against the Indians in a four game series, and there's one game left to go. This is all remarkable because the Indians' staff is the one of the best in the game, and the Twins' offense is pretty average.
  13. Thusly Boned
    I found this mildly surprising since he isn't exactly tearing up AA. He hasn't been bad by any stretch, just so so well that you jump him a level to get him to the majors.
  14. Thusly Boned
    To be fair, Gordon did it to him first. But Contreras has a little Carlos Gomez in him. As long as it's just a little, I like it.
  15. Thusly Boned
    Huge, huge game from Hendricks.
  16. Thusly Boned
    Apparently I'm behind, lol
  17. Thusly Boned
    Of course Hendricks is up now
  18. Thusly Boned
    Yeah, two of the strongest non-pitcher arms in the game.
  19. Thusly Boned
    It's making up for being so shaky in the first three innings.
  20. Thusly Boned
    Heyward-Baez is the wrong relay combo to run on.
  21. Thusly Boned
    This game should at least be 5-0 or 6-0 by now.
  22. Thusly Boned
    Jesus our defense is making Hendrick's life difficult tonight
  23. Thusly Boned
    Yeah, that was terrible. He was clearly safe.
  24. Thusly Boned
    So apparently the Dodgers told Yasiel Puig that he'd either be traded or demoted. Since the former didn't happen, the latter will soon.
  25. Thusly Boned
    Apparently Aledmys Diaz's bruised thumb is actually fractured, and he'll likely miss a few weeks. In case you missed it, he was HBP yesterday by Cashner.
