6:45 p.m.
RHP Dustin May (5-7, 4.59) vs. LHP Matthew Boyd (6-1, 3.81)
Cards.TV // KMOX // WIJRJuly 29, 2026 at 8:01 am #314454Dusty’s last start for us? We will see.
July 29, 2026 at 8:04 am #314455I think it will be.
Likely an asset dump incoming; hopefully Bloom gets a good future MLB player back for each one traded.

stlcard25ParticipantNow would be a great time for May to throw 7 shutout innings with no walks and 10+ Ks.
July 29, 2026 at 10:27 am #314459This will no doubt be May’s last start for the Cards. I hope we can get a good return for him.
July 29, 2026 at 11:50 am #314464We won’t get a good return for anyone we trade.
Then whomever we do get we will have to wait another 2-3 years for them to develop.
And in the meantime we will be like the Pirates and Reds have been for years – last place material.
We’ve got enough support players now. All we need is a big bat in the lineup and a frontline starter. And the only way those are going to get here is free agency. And for the record, I never considered Wilson Contreras a big bat in the lineup.

ParticipantI expect may to bring us a decent prospect. Hes pitched pretty well. If he doesnt,i wouldnt trade him.
July 29, 2026 at 3:29 pm #314478Despite his team finally sinking to a game below sea level, I expect that teams around the league are lining up to procure the services of the Redbird manager. He’s a white hot commodity at the moment and I expect him to ditch StL. before too very long…With his unmatched baseball managerial instincts he’ll probably end up on the top step of the Yankee or Dodger dugout or, at the very least, nudge Skippy out of the picture down in Arlington…
July 29, 2026 at 3:34 pm #314481Weather wise all looks clear in the midwest tonight. Which means the Cubs will be in prime position to win another one at Busch.
Me and Whitey Herdog will be on the couch for the first 2-3 innings of the Indians and Reds from Riverfront Stadium.
Later tonight we will tune in to the Seattle Mariners and the Los Angeles Doyers from Doyer Stadium. Boy, the Doyers sure blew one last night.

ParticipantIn a league made up of a lot of lefty hitters, its odd we have only one lefty relief pitcher.
July 29, 2026 at 5:11 pm #314495Seems like one year recently we were loaded with lefty starters and had 2-3 more in the pen.
we got ONE lefty in the pen now?
Svanson…..

ParticipantJust looking at those offensive numbers tells you a lot. Even jj the whiz kid is only hitting 254

Baseball in 2026 is different from the game you are fond of.
There are only 4 batters in ALL of MLB hitting above .301.

July 29, 2026 at 7:46 pm #314507Yeah, batting average is so 1980s. SLG, OBP, OPS, wOBA, WAR, etc, is where it’s at.
July 29, 2026 at 8:05 pm #314509May throws a one-hit shutout over five innings to finish what may be his final start as a Cardinal. Of course, the offense hasn’t scored yet, either, so he gets a no-decision.

July 29, 2026 at 8:06 pm #314511It is well known that the easiest way to achieve success is to define success so as to encompass whatever it is you can do. If they can’t hit for average, stop using BA as a defining measure. Genius.
July 29, 2026 at 8:07 pm #314512Pulled May after 70 pitches. I guess quit while they are ahead. I wish him well.
July 29, 2026 at 8:08 pm #314513It is also well known that BA measures the number of hits and not the quality of hits.
July 29, 2026 at 8:09 pm #314514So you think that other metrics have surpassed BA because of lower player BAs? That seems quite the stretch.
July 29, 2026 at 8:13 pm #314515Either way you look at it we don’t have anybody that can hit.
July 29, 2026 at 8:19 pm #314516They only have one lefty because Romero is injured and they jettisoned what’s his name a couple times. Naughton got hurt and I think they wanted him up at some point. It’s been my main complaint all season.
We’ll get one back soon enough. Liberatore will be banished after his next crummy start.
July 29, 2026 at 8:23 pm #314517And Blaze pops out with the bases loaded and two outs to end the 6th.
Still 0-0 after six.
What really hurt was Winn swinging like a maniac when they had runners at the corners and only one out. Of course he struck out instead of just trying to put the ball in play.
July 29, 2026 at 8:29 pm #314518He was trying for a quality hit.
July 29, 2026 at 8:33 pm #314519No, he was trying to slug it out there and hit it over the Arch.
That way he can add a homerun to his stats and maybe if he gets just a few more homeruns he will be able to get an extra 2-3 million on his next contract. That’s really all that matters.
