It was Busch’s fault. Swanson was trying to catch it, Nico covering 2b, Busch needs to be hovering around the pitchers mound in that scenario. Another learning experience for him.
-
Mastro and Busch have been fantastic lately. We expect Nico and Swanson to do their thing but the defense has really turned a corner with Mastro handling 3b and Busch making plays at 1b.
-
Royals desperately needed bullpen help. He'll help them next year as well.
-
I can't wait until PCA gets a bunt single off of him and he has a complete mental breakdown on the mound
-
Good W. What’s the moves for tomorrow’s game? Assad for Little? Which pitcher get’s called up for the extra roster spot?
-
Bote is such a fantastic pinch hitter
-
Mastro and Amaya stepping up tonight. Love to see it
-
Morel has looked horrible today
-
Mastro bloop single > PCA bunt hit > Amaya sacrifice > Hoerner RBI ground out.

Good horsefeathers Dansby

Good hustle/throw Seiya

I still find it funny that it was Gray's turn in the rotation to throw Weds and the Cardinals chose to hold him back to go against us on extra days rest. They ended up losing both games on Weds. Lost 2 of 3 against the Royals when they didn't have to go against Ragans/Lugo. I would feel pretty good about splitting with them all things considered - especially with them luckily missing Steele/Imanaga for the second series in a row...

Bowden also saying the Braves have shown interest in Bellinger - Phillies and Braves battling it out for him would be interesting.
-
They don't have a choice with the DH tomorrow. If there wasn't a DH, they could of went Assad/Wes/Taillon. Someone has to pitch the extra game.
-
He has done better picking lately. It was a difficult spot for him to be in learning 1b, while also experimenting with Morel at 3b and like you mentioned, Swanson having some uncharacteristic throws to 1b. The range and athleticism was apparent from day one. One thing I will say that he also has seemed to get better at is understanding when and when not to move to far to his right. Early in the season, he got caught venturing out too far on plays Nico had under control and then they didn't have anyone covering 1b. Little adjustments like that have helped.
-
Hendricks might absolutely get rocked tonight, but he's been a Cardinal killer his entire career. Not sure Drew is a better option. Against the Cardinals: Career - 172 IP 2.62 ERA 2023 1GP 7 IP 2 Runs 2024 1GP 4.1 IP 2 Hits 0 Runs (Wicks injury game when Hendricks was horrible and coming out of the BP) And unless I missed a recent update, Assad was trending as the starter tomorrow.

2024 MLB Draft Thread
KCCub replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I could get on board with Brecht. I'm a sucker for a good splitter though, so I'm hoping Yesavage is there. In my limited knowledge of our minor league pitching development, it seems like we haven't been able to successfully add a realiable 3rd pitch to our higher end arms that didn't have one to begin with (Brown, Wes, etc), yet anways. You can absolutely make a 2 pitch pitcher work and we've done that successfully with multiple guys with different fastball shapes and breaking ball shapes. I still dream of Brown showing up next year with a devastating split or much improved change. -
Mikolas isn't great but he's owned us over his career. 110 IP 2.62 ERA 3.13 FIP. We're due.

Mastro has been an absolute treat to watch at 3b these last couple weeks. Consider me impressed.
-
This is fun. I wish the entire season was this fun.

I’d much rather go with Chapman than trying to play musical chairs with our defense. What’s stopping Bellinger from just playing CF next year? Why force him to 1b? There’s a couple different ways they can approach next year (If Belli’s still on the team) - Go elite defense across the board with Happ/PCA/Belli with Suzuki at DH, Chapman at 3b and Jansen at catcher. Or go with more offense with Happ/Belli/Suzuki and your new bat at DH(or RF), and still sign/trade for a 3b and Jansen. PCA is your late inning base runner/defensive replacement. Still try like hell to land Soto and then move a guy afterwards if you are fortunate enough to land him.
