Interesting talk by Jim Edmonds about how he asked grounds crew to mow OF grass. Guessing he's against soccer games and rock concerts there.

The Cards with 10 hits tonight and only two runs to show for it. The Rockies haven’t done much but have kept it in reach. This is the exact kind of game that this team has found a way to lose over and over again this year. Really hoping the Cards can pull it out.
I don’t know this tweeter, but it is the same thing I have been saying for months.

Matt Bowman on pace to pitch in 81 games. That would tie Kevin Siegrist (2015) for 3rd-most in single-season in #stlcards team history.

Cards can’t take advantage of Arenado missing a play he usually makes. A pop-up and a double play…still tied. I’m afraid we have seen this game before and the way that it typically ends.
Brian, I agree. I tried to post something similar that wouldn’t go through. He’s a good guy to bring in for the double play and earlier than the 7th if needed but he doesn’t have the stuff to pitch the 8th.
Bader 37th Card to double in 1st game-last Carson Kelly 9/5/16–others Carpenter, Jordan, Lankford, Van Slyke, Musial, Marion, Slaughter

I’ve gotta admit…I was as excited about this win as any this year. Guys like Sierra, Dejong and Bader are just fun to watch. Maybe they won’t be stars long term but they (and someone like Pham) play with an edge and the speed is really enjoyable to see on the base paths. Who else scores on that lazy fly ball to right? Good win…I’ve gotten past expecting any type of spring board effect but just gonna enjoy seeing the kids play.
The thing about looking long term and waiting till the end of the season is basically like admitting that they have no problem with playing poorly and then at the end of the season we’ll make some stupid little trade, they’ll play it up, maybe a nobody free agent…then next season we’ll be right back where we are now, with our ceiling being just making the playoffs…we’re only in the race at all now because the other teams in the division aren’t playing too good, if this was last year we’d be like 20 games back…
