6:45 p.m.
RHP Sonny Gray (7-4, 3.21) vs. LHP Bailey Falter (3-3, 3.69)
BSM // KMOX // WIJR
Also BS Southeast and Southwest ExtraDin-din today will be the weekly trip to the Gasthof, the Amish restaurant. Fried chicken, roast beef, mashed potatoes/gravy, green beans, noodles, sweet potatoes?, dressing, sweet iced tea, cherry cobbler, and some vanilla soft serve ice cream for dessert. Then a cigar out on the porch afterwards.
We’ve got to face a lefty tonight. Carlson will be in CF. This team is starting to flounder again. Sometimes I think the only hope for this team is another 17 game winning streak that got us into the wild card game back in 2021.

Maybe the manager would get fired afterwards again!
I still think it’s amusing that with a W in tonight’s game the Cardinals can not only hoist themselves out of last place, but also take over a post-season berth. Must be another one of those modern world miracles.

CF Mike Siani LGorman is a guy I really like though. As he matures he should make more consistent contact, and his power is something else.
But I touted O’Neill for several years as a future MVP and he would show flashes, then regress, then get hurt. So we will see on NG.
Din-din here is homemade individual pizzas me and Lady Bike will put together, and a big tossed salad. That’s it – simple and tasty.
Leading the team in home runs (more than Arenado and Goldschmidt combined) and RBIs makes up for a lot of sins. Gorman is second on the team in strike outs, behind Goldy.
“ Burly out of the field tonight after beefing the game in RF in the 9th”
Looked like a catchable ball, but Helsley was the prime goat in last night’s game. Had Helsley been his usual self we would have taken a 1-0 thriller on Gorman’s jack, all else equal.
Falter has a season game score of 54. He has 4 of his 12 starts in the 70’s. Our SP’s have 6 (all). His last start was a forgettable 30. His handedness splits are close to neutral this season.
I’m entirely aware that Burleson’s not the best mitt you can place in the OF, but I don’t think you can lay much fault on him for not running down that slicing line drive hit by Gonzalez for a double in the 8th which didn’t result in any Pirate runs. That was a tough chance, but Clemente may have had it…
Speaking of mitts, I’ve been missing Scott Rolen lately, but Arenado reminded me last night why he’s been awarded 10 GG’s at 3B. He completed two spectacular plays over on the left corner of the IF last night.
Burly has mostly looked good on defense. Not great range, but he has a good arm and handles the defensive aspect pretty well.
Yeah, Nado looked like I remember him from his days out here in the Wild West. He was almost a nightly highlight reel when wearing the purple. Plus he has the best approach at the plate of anyone I can recall. Always balanced and head right down on the ball. Wish he could teach Jordan Walker that approach.
Yeah, it’s hard to believe he’s been around for 16 seasons. He’s been an excellent player in all areas of the game, but I’ll always maintain that the NL MVP that he was awarded in ’13 should have gone to Paul Goldschmidt. If you look at numbers from that season, Goldschmidt clearly deserved the award.
I know I don’t have any friends around here on this one-but we gotta get Goldy out of those mob positions. Nothing personal. I love the guy.
