    Ugh, Carpenter. I would have gone with Miller, but then he was nothing to shout about the last couple of weeks either. How bad is our offense you ask?

    It is so bad, our cleanup hitter had an OPS+ of 66, and a -.1 WAR. It is so bad our #5 guy protects the #4 guy with an OPS+ of 81, and a whopping .1 WAR (hey, at least it is positive). Our #6 guy…well, you get the picture.

    But it’s a new day. Carlson was trending up at the end of the year, so let’s just see.

    wRC+ the last 7 days of the season:

    Bader 203
    Carlson 145
    Wong 119
    Carp 115
    Goldy 110
    Yadi 109
    Edman 26
    Miller 25
    Fowler 6
    Dejong -5
    O’Neill -40

    Guessing that had something to do with the lineup today. When it’s do or die you have to try to get the hottest hands you have in the lineup.

    Yep – good numbers 25. Bader had some moments where he looked real good.

    After two exhausting long nights of burning the midnight oil, your’s truly has his selection. The Pads win games 1 & 3 to end our season. Now now now do not jump off the ledge yet. Though it seems as if my picks border on perfection, please allow me to remind you that I only hit on a documented 82.7% of ML baseball games(since 1996). Though not probable, I could miss on this and our Cards will prevail. Oh God I hope this is one of those rare occasions where I just flat out call it wrong. My thanks to the Esteemed Rat for his continued inspiration. Also, I would be terribly remiss in not giving a shout-out to our new esteemed friend, JLaf. Don’t be a stranger, JLaf!

    What’s on tap for din-din tonight you may ask? Though my lesser half is totally against having breakfast for dinner, tonight I get my way. How does three medium poached eggs over two pieces of white toast grab you? Make sure to sprinkle a healthy dose of melted butter over them, along with salt and pepper. Pancakes and bacon are also on the menu. Play ball!

    Looking like the Reds and the Cubs haven’t represented the NL Central well so far..gonna be up to the Cards and Brewers to save face.

    That was a really good first inning for the Cards offense. Now let’s see KK come out and have a nice 1-2-3.

    I don’t think I imagined the disdain in the pbp guy’s voice when he pointed out Carlson was “hitting just .200” right before he doubled.

    Try doing some homework and digging into those numbers.

    Leadoff walk…not ideal.
