I think generally the decision making has been good today (maybe not on that two point attempt....). I know the accuracy has left a lot to be desired, but I'm not nearly as worried about that long term as I am about the between the ears stuff.

Oh that's beautiful. You know the Cards fans started to believe after the Molina single.

It feels almost inevitable that the Mets are going to blow this tonight

Even if they don't come back to win this game, this might be huge for the Mariners to burn Romano today. The Jays pen outside of him is not very intimidating
-
Fields looking pretty bust-y now doesn't mean we have to apply revisionist history back to his draft. That was viewed as an exceptionally strong QB draft, and as recently as April general consensus was that Fields would have been QB1 this year and gone in the top 2-3 picks.

I'd love to see Mervis' L/R splits from like August 1st onwards

Guardians-Yankees might be really fun. Youngest team in MLB vs. a Yankees team who I don't know where they rank age-wise but are definitely very veteran-heavy

A little more on Leigh That's a really unique profile. Two distinct breaking balls at ~2800 rpms, plus a fastball at ~2500. Looking at a leaderboard for this year I only see a couple of guys in that neighborhood, https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/pitch-arsenals?year=2022&min=100&type=avg_spin&hand=&sort=6&sortDir=desc Ironically though they're all bad? Trevor Megill, Lucas Sims, Luke Bard, Drew Smith. It's a quick and dirty comparison (literally just RPMs and MPH), but interesting considering how impressive each of the individual underlying skills are.

Citi Field seems really horsefeathering loud. This is fun

Fun fact: Aaron Nola led all pitchers this year in fWAR

Oh boy the fans streaming out of the park there is going to lead to some wonderful content from the Best Fans Stl Twitter account

Of course the Cards are going to win this game on the backs of Jose Quintana and Juan Yepez. Of course.

Really good rundown from Bryan Smith. I'd quibble with his choices at the end (I'd keep Mckinstry and Wick instead of Marquez and Uelmen) but the decisions definitely aren't clear cut on several of these guys.

I think people are really sleeping on the Mets chances of winning this whole thing because of last weekend's embarrassment. If they take care of the Padres in 2, they'll be able to get two deGrom starts and a Scherzer start in a five game series against the Dodgers, and as scary as the Dodgers are give me the Mets in that series. Oh, and they'd still have Scherzer ready to start game 1 of the NLCS. I also think the Phillies and Mariners are a bit underrated. Everyone's like "aww good for you buddy you snapped the drought" but these are good teams with fearsome front of the rotation starters who could horsefeathers you up in a short series.
