Ugh, there goes the well rested bullpen.

That Javy at bat was so fantastic.

Szczur isn't that good. And Grimm had nothing to do with Szczur getting DFA'd.

Sure better be the last time Jay plays centerfield in a close game with Almora AND Heyward on the 25-man.

120 pitches in a May start with wind chills below 40. Cool cool cool.

horsefeathers, Zobrist would've played that better.

Yeesh, Jay.

Really appreciate seeing the horsefeathering broadcast crew split screened on that play.

I thought for sure when it was hit, Russell would beat the relay throw.

Impressed Hicks even got one ball in that at bat since he can't see.

After those last two hits, I want to know how Hicks caught Lester's liner.

Not only did he say it, he rambled on about how great he was for what seemed like an entire half inning Thank goodness for the mute button.

Aaron Boone said Cowboy Joe West was the best umpire in baseball? Yeesh.

I really didn't need Addison Russell's Pokémon collection taking up half the screen last week and I don't need Joe's RV taking up half He screen today. ESPN suuucks. Also Aaron Boone brings nothing.

He's not going to be worth the inflated price tag.

Ian Happ activated off the Iowa DL.

I know he's not on the 40-man but Harrison Bader is at AAA.

What are you doing, Cardinals? [tweet] [/tweet] Sierra is 21. His 81 at bats at high-A this season are his first 81 at bats above A-ball.

I'd rather have Montgomery start because I think he's the better pitcher and I want the better pitcher pitching more innings.

Leathersich is still in Mesa trying to get over a case of the yips. If they go with Montgomery in the rotation, I think they'll want to keep Zastryzny up. Send down Peña and bring up Johnson for now.

[tweet] [/tweet] Butler pitched for AAA today so he'd be on normal rest.

i mean, i'm pretty sure he wasn't trying to do this He just better not tweet out another excuse about the weather.

Now score 6 so Miggy can get the W.

Butler is pitching like he knows there's an opening in the big league rotation in 5 days.
