You gotta love “Lucky” LeBlanc. He seemingly always puts his team in a position to win. Nuts to inking him to a one year deal …. I’d go three.
Lucky goes just one out short of a quality start. That slow, sweeping curve is mesmerizing and tantalizing, but I’m not sure I’d want to be 60 feet away from a big league hitter when they swing at it.
I wonder if Lucky is the only pitcher in MLB history whose last name ends in “eBlanc”?
Leblanc isn’t bad. I agree with signing him to a deal. I don’t know about 3 given his age. I’m thinking two at most.
Who is the other pitcher whose name ends in “x”? I can only think of “x-lax”?
I’m sure they’re talking about Danny Cox. 😉
Picking up Happ and Lester today it looks like they are shopping for experience right now and not young arms for the future.
Wooster, that one turned into a joke and I was guessing you were playing along with the x-lax comment — good one. But in case you don’t know, Chip Caray made the ridiculous comment about Hendrix. Some others are Koufax and the Maddux brothers.
Well I was about to get all over edman cause he swung at two obvious balls before he hit that double.
Yep that was a good inning Willie. I was really thinking Edman was about due. Bader with a good hit again. Getting worried about him going cold. DeJungs been hitting under the ball and shooting at the moon. Never paid much attention to skip Carey Euro but I vaguely remember Sandy Koufax. Think I had his baseball card as a kid.
Wooster, we must be about the same age. Koufax retired about the time I started watching baseball as a young kid. I can’t say that I remember seeing him pitch, but I probably did.
I wouldn’t worry about bader going cold. If you expect him to hit 360 the rest of the way, then it may happen but that’s too high of expectations for him, for anybody on the team for that matter. He’s had a good night. He has a hit and a sacrifice fly for an rbi which is actually a better sign for him than the hit. He’s struggled at getting runs in from third with less than 2 outs in the past.
Yeah Willie if you remember him about this time last year many folks were talking about whether we would be keeping him. Been at pro level a couple years now and its beginning to pay off. Edman was a question mark for awhile too. And Hey- we’ve got a real outfield this year. Nice game Go Cardinals!
Kind of a tough night for the Twinkies. When you lose players at the deadline makes for a dejected bunch. At least those that are competitors.
Shocked……and I must say a smidgen disappointed that you gentlemen neglected to give ex-Redbird 20 game winner, Harvey Haddix, his just due.
Well we will be playing against some AAA clubs the rest of the way as many have thrown in the towel.
Cards should finish at least 10 games over but based on the competition not sure what it will mean….
OK, so that’s one in a row. Its a start. Let’s hope the two new seniors can step up. Not out of the question. PDJ is now below the Mendoza line. Off with his head.
