1:15 p.m.
RHP John Gant (0-2, 3.21) vs. LHP Wade Miley (2-1, 2.25)
BSM // KMOX // WIJR
Also BSSW+ in Oklahoma and Arkansas and BSSO in TN, KY and MSApril 24, 2021 at 12:31 am #159014Will be in the house for this one. Hope they get it in. Got a room and tickets for Saturday and Sunday.
April 24, 2021 at 7:35 am #159020The combination of a cold wet day and Gant pitching at a snail’s pace will be pretty tough booyah. Maybe pack a flask like you’re going to Arrowhead for a Chiefs game. Sunday should be a nice day though.
If you can, post a thing or two about your experience at the ballpark with the distancing and what not. And what ballpark village is like now days if you get over there at all. Have a fun weekend.
April 24, 2021 at 10:06 am #159031After watching Kim pitch last night, this one with Gant will be like watching the average filibuster on the floor of the U.S. Senate. I may tune in a good two hours after the game starts and pick it up in the bottom of the third, thinking Gant will either be out or will only go another inning.
Hopefully our pitching depth gets the hairy one back to the bullpen, where he only throws an inning here or there. Shildt’s quick hook will never let him go more than that, even if he carves up the opposition in his inning of work.
April 24, 2021 at 11:05 am #159040If you look at the Doppler Radar there is no way this one gets in. Unless they postpone it until later tonight. Green stuff all around St. Louis.

April 24, 2021 at 11:08 am #159041And last night’s debacle with Hicks and Reyes wont be the last time that happens this season. Neither one of them can be trusted to throw strikes. It’s about like having two Trevor Rosenthal’s in the pen. And Carlos Martinez is the same way. You just never know what you are going to get from any of these three.
Reyes and Martinez need to be starters. If the Redbirds continue to run Hicks and Reyes out there in late inning situations you may as well brace yourself for some late inning drama in alot of games.

April 24, 2021 at 11:36 am #1590441. Tommy Edman (S) 2B
2. Dylan Carlson (S) CF
3. Paul Goldschmidt (R) 1B
4. Nolan Arenado (R) 3B
5. Paul DeJong (R) SS
6. Tyler O’Neill (R) LF
7. Andrew Knizner (R) C
8. Justin Williams (L) RF
9. John Gant (R) P5 righties in a row. Not a lot of choice I realize. Poor roster construction.
April 24, 2021 at 11:46 am #159045What’s the news on Yadi’s ailing foot?
April 24, 2021 at 12:03 pm #159047P-D says game will not start until at least 2 pm per Cards.
April 24, 2021 at 12:27 pm #1590495 righties in a row. Not a lot of choice I realize. Poor roster construction.
I think we are facing a LH pitcher, hence all of the righties. I am surprised Williams is starting over Dean.
April 24, 2021 at 12:30 pm #1590511982 willieParticipantLate start seems reasonable, lot of wetness over here in indiana. I don’t mind all the righties, in the end you still have to hit the ball. Carpenters out and that’s a great thing in my book. Doesn’t mean we are going to take off but it puts carpenter in best place. A late inning option when we might need a blast.
April 24, 2021 at 12:32 pm #1590531982 willieParticipantWilliams has been hitting the ball lately at least a little bit. I’m not a big fan of his but he has some pop.
April 24, 2021 at 12:33 pm #159054I like Dean better against the LH pitcher. Dean has pop also.
April 24, 2021 at 12:47 pm #1590581982 willieParticipantYea I can see your point, I guess schildt chose what he felt was the hotter hand.
April 24, 2021 at 1:06 pm #159060Nobody having din-din tonight??
April 24, 2021 at 1:18 pm #159062My din-din was a ribeye steak in the air fryer along with some crinkle cut seasoned french fries and a MinuteMaid lemonade. Now for dessert a piece of that strawberry cake with extra glaze. Once first pitch rolls around me and Whitey Herdog will be on the couch with a big cigar.
And speaking of first pitch, anybody have any idea when that will be?
r/Esteemed Rat
April 24, 2021 at 1:18 pm #159063Just finished din-din, Pugs, thanks for asking. Nothing extraordinary tonight – filet steak with french fries and a green salad, washed down with a nice Cotes du Rhone and finished off with some fresh strawberries and cream.
I’m eager to see what this rearranged lineup can do, and looking forward to a nice night from Knizner.
Rah Cardinals!
April 24, 2021 at 1:44 pm #1590641982 willieParticipantThe tarp was still on the field just a few minutes ago so its gonna be a while.
April 24, 2021 at 2:27 pm #159067#Cardinals are hoping for a 3:35 p.m. start, weather permitting.

April 24, 2021 at 2:39 pm #159068Ribeye steak in the Air Fryer??!? That is a clear cut case of animal abuse! Got some kids-in-law over so I’m trying to keep sane while munching on oreos and following the game online.
April 24, 2021 at 2:50 pm #159070Grandkids over. Grilled cheese sandwiches with some tomato soup to dip it in. Grape Nehi.
April 24, 2021 at 2:57 pm #159071335 is not happening. It hasn’t even stopped raining by the stadium. My guess is 430 at the earliest.
Issue become that the Reds haven’t had BP or warmups due to rain.
April 24, 2021 at 3:03 pm #159072Bling? Every time you mention Grape Nehi it makes me realize I need to get some. When I worked for the govt at a naval base their little gas station/store had bottled Nehi Grape. I’d go and get me some every so often. Of course I would usually buy Robin a couple of bottles too since she was smoking hot!

The Doppler Radar shows the rain is just about out of the St. Louis area. It does appear that this game will at least be played sometime today.
BallySportsOhio, the Reds station, just said the first pitch will indeed be about 4:35 eastern.

April 24, 2021 at 3:28 pm #159075Rat I used to ride my bike to the gas station to get a bottle and pop off the cap with the opener on the wall above a trash can for the cap to fall into. Now it comes in cans. Haven’t seen a bottle in ages.
