The question is becoming not “Do I dare start DeJong over Turner or Correa,” but rather “which one of Turner/Correa gets to play MI behind DeJong”
-
…hopefully Naylor is up for good.
-
that’s right!

Hate the pitches, not the pitcher...

hate pitchers - that is all haha

The Cardinals manager needs to throw a couple more OFs under the bus to make room for Walker. It's all part of the plan.
-
…heard his defenses was horrible?!
-
yes me too!! He hit too many grounders but c'mon they need something. They actually wanted Willson Contreras in the OF over him for a bit???
-
I'm honestly confused what's happened to Jordan Walker. Made the starting lineup out of camp, 12-game hit streak, cooled off but still looked fine (better wOBA than Carlson, Burleson, Yepez), got banished to AAA and hasn't been called back. ???
-
Oooh, I HATE it when that happens...

Downside of playing platoon games with cheap outfielders — second time this week a guy hit 2 HRs… on my bench :(
-
That was a good read, Saint. Interesting to follow up by looking up the Black Aces.

Worth the time, especially if Blue's legendary 1971 season & eventful subsequent career are ancient history for you.

Let’s Go!
-
News broke Thursday of Mervis' impending promotion and the move is now official. The Cubs have received very little production from Eric Hosmer and Trey Mancini in the first base/designated hitter spots, so they've now turned to their top prospect in hopes that he can provide a boost.
-
Seeing a guy go for $9 who I cut for $1 sure feels like a missed trade opportunity :(
-
Kinda like Hank and Tommie Aaron...

we are #teamAcuna, Saint!

That strategy has worked for me, Cutch.

anyone with a surname of Acuna, I’m all in… haha
-
thanks brother @rime - the stars aligned for one day! my next day dropped a few points as expected so hopefully today will be an increase! hey, buccos have the 2nd best record in baseball behind the Rays haha
-
Yeah that was quite the Saturday surge Cutch! I was surprised to see myself in 2nd when my stat line hadn't been bad at all. Have a day Adolis!
-
thanks Saint! usually (for me anyways), after a big points day in the positive direction the pendulum swings the other direction the following day, so hoping to reverse that trend, starting now!!! also, shhhhg Bucs remain enfuego (fingers-crossed) it continues!!!
-
You won a lot today, though, Cutch; like a 10 game winning streak. Maybe Wisdom is a bad clubhouse influence...

… man, I guess when I cut Wisdom, that really wasn’t a good idea - thought he would K a ton! o-well! win some and lose some!!!

This is Rickey calling on behalf of Rickey to say that Rickey is still the greatest...

@Cutch yeah but to be fair 3 games of that win streak were vs the Rockies. I was telling my friends "I can't believe Pittsburgh won 14-3 twice in Denver and neither of those games involved the Broncos" :P
-
@Mateo did you tell Olerud "I used to know another guy who wore his batting helmet all the time" and he said "Yeah Rickey, that was me?"
-
Challenge trade between 1st and 2nd place!
-
… holy shizzzzzz El Niño is back and the buccos are 13-7… better put this blunt done on 4/20 #blacknyellow #wizkalifia #miakalifa

@Ink was their perhaps a Tiger and Mike Tyson… ohh wait, nm.
-
@rime def metal!!!
-
@Roar just a self-made biz man!

In 1989, I ran into John Olerud during a spring break fete at Lake Havasu. He consumed far too much grain alcohol and I ended up crashing on the chaise longue in his hotel room. He awoke in the middle of the night and was violently ill. I fed him grapes and rubbed his tummy. In the morning we got room service. It was a magical evening. He wore a hard hat the entire time.
-
I don't have a direct connection to him, but I have friends who went to Golden High School (Colorado) a few miles from mine with Mark Melancon. He graduated a year after me.
-
Alwx Killoff sounds so much more metal than his real name...
-
…also my other buddy Carl Volmer who I also played ball with and who played at Pitt was the head coach at Plum HS the year Alwx Killoff got drafted by the Twins…
-
Mason Miller played baseball at Waynesburg University DIII in PA (where I grew up) and my buddy who I played adult baseball in college with coaches at Waynesburg… great kid!

It would seem they are kindred spirits on the naming side, but, no, The Baddoo lives on in another league these days...

is baddoo disguised as bedlam err I mean scoreboard?!

Bedlam, you are now "Scoreboard Porch 1" ?
-
Silly Patriots Day with that early start. At least I was awake before it started here in the West this year, which isn't always the case.
-
Boo don't take away my 2 hits and run for Ohtani (plus 3 K's and 0.5 WHIP... the ER isn't bad)! Hunter Renfroe's team would be even sadder.
-
who has Bello?! pray for this: If a game does not reach it's legal point and the game cannot be completed that same day, it is considered “no game” at all and all stats and scores from that game are null and void. The game is then made up at a later date and the game is started from the first inning with a 0–0 score.
-
We've got Kerry Carpenter! We've got Matt Carpenter! (turns chair backwards) You know who else was a Carpenter and became the savior of His flock in the outfield...

Inkosi going through shortstops like Spinal Tap through drummers...

Inkosi, I strongly refute and deny any unjust accusations that I somehow AJ Preller'd you. I can assure you all of Mr. Seager's medical reports were accurate, whole and provided to you well in advance of the contract signing yesterday. However, I would be remiss if I failed to mention perhaps the baseball gods have spoken. And done so rather harshly. We forge on, sir. Amor Fati.
-
…actually went to the game today (sans Cruz) Thank goodness they sell beer there!!!
-
Saint, it's April '23; everyone's pitching staff is an open tire fire.
