8:40 p.m.
RHP Johan Oviedo (0-2, 5.74) vs. LHP Madison Bumgarner (4-4, 4.53)
BSM // KMOX
Also BSSW+ in Oklahoma and Arkansas and BSSO in TN, KY and MSMay 28, 2021 at 6:36 am #162571We were fortunate last night. Blew a 4-0 lead in the late innings only to hang on for a 5-4 victory. Had chances to put the DBacks away but couldnt capitalize.
With the main weapons in the pen having pitched two days in a row we need Oviedo to give us about seven innings tonight. And the odds of that happening arent very good. Hopefully we can extend the DBacks losing streak to a dirty dozen tonight.

May 28, 2021 at 7:54 am #162576bccranParticipantNeed to rough up Bum and get a big lead early.
May 28, 2021 at 9:40 am #162589Wainwright last pitched on the 23rd. So he has had 4 days rest. That doesn’t work any more for some reason?
May 28, 2021 at 10:17 am #162595That isn’t new. All season to date, the Cardinals have been giving their starters five days of rest, rather than pitching them every fifth day. This is because of 2020. They are trying to keep everyone healthy all season long.
May 28, 2021 at 11:18 am #162598What’s that hot breath I’m feeling on the back of my neck? Holy moly mouseketeers it’s the Cubs, and they all have exceedingly serious looks on their faces! Well, maybe with the exception of Javier Baez, who appears to be grinning.
I’m ashamed to say tonight is leftovers night (can’t just throw that stuff away). I think the Snakes are going to extend their streak.
Rah Cardinals!
May 28, 2021 at 11:45 am #162601I had to take Whitey Herdog to the Vet early this morning for her routine yearly stuff and a Dental. I am picking her back up around 2:30 so she will be on the couch with me tonight for this one. Along with a couple of cigars.
Would like to see the Reds sweep the Cubs this weekend in Wrigley but we will be fortunate if the Big Red Machine wins one of the three.
Bumgarner has been pitching much better lately. We can only hope that there will be some ill-timed luck that goes against the Dbacks in this one that will help extend their streak to a dozen games.
I’ll be having a very late lunch today, around 5:00 or so. Reason is because after I dropped Whitey Herdog off at the Vet’s I stopped at the Corner Cafe and got me some biscuits & gravy and hash browns. This place absolutely has the best B&G in the entire state, if not the entire Midwest. Yum yum! And my late din-din tonight will be a center cut rib chop in the air fryer, some baked beans, a glass of water, and either a bowl of homemade ice cream or a piece of Strawberry cream pie.

May 28, 2021 at 12:22 pm #162605Hopefully Oviedo can give us 5 or 6 innings tonight since the good part of the pen was pretty much used up last night. Tonight we are probably going to see Webb, Woodford, Whitley, and Fernandez, which doesn’t bode well unless the offense has a surprising outburst.
Friday night is pizza night at my house. I will be having an organic cheese pizza from the local health food store, a big glass of diet mountain dew, and a small chocolate brownie for dessert.
May 28, 2021 at 2:13 pm #162615Not sure what’s on tap for us for din-din. Now and then we hit a local craft brew pub on Friday night, the exact one depending on which food truck we prefer.
Pitching-wise tonight’s match-up looks to favor the Phoenix Rattlesnakes. And you figure they are due for a win. I am going to have to predict a Cardinal “L” tonight, but a recovery to take the next 2 and 3 of 4 for the series.
May 28, 2021 at 2:48 pm #1626171982 willieParticipantWell I don’t believe giving extra rest saves guys from injuries. In fact it might lead them to more injuries. In fact our whole team seems china fragile.
May 28, 2021 at 4:48 pm #162622D-Bs have Cardinals reject Carson Kelly hitting 2nd tonight with his 1.000+ OPS and Cardinals reject David Peralta batting clean up.
May 28, 2021 at 5:08 pm #162625Hope Oviedo can do well. Mikolas to be re-evaluated in 4 to 6 weeks.
May 28, 2021 at 5:14 pm #162626bccranParticipantMikolas is paid $17 million a year in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. MLB can be a tough industry to project with any assurance cost vs. value.
May 28, 2021 at 5:42 pm #162628After being pretty good in Japan he had the monster 2018 with us, signed the big contract and went 9-14. Then missed last year and probably most of this year at best. Not as spectacular of a post cashing in crash as Carpenter, but potentially more just as costly if we eat the whole contract.
May 28, 2021 at 5:43 pm #1626291. Tommy Edman (S) 2B
2. Dylan Carlson (S) CF
3. Paul Goldschmidt (R) 1B
4. Nolan Arenado (R) 3B
5. Yadier Molina (R) C
6. Tyler O’Neill (R) LF
7. Edmundo Sosa (R) SS
8. Lane Thomas (R) RF
9. Johan Oviedo (R) PMay 28, 2021 at 6:10 pm #162630It’s kind of sad that with our depth our lineup is just as dangerous, if not more dangerous, with a pitcher rather than a DH haha
May 28, 2021 at 7:01 pm #162633GACard, Williams produces some eye popping exit velocities, what more do you want?
May 28, 2021 at 7:26 pm #162634As I type this we are currently tied with the Cubs for first place. They down the Reds today at Wrigley by the score of 1-0. A Bote homerun the only tally of the game. Wind was blowing in today and it was an experience in the outfield. Plus the wind knocked down 2-3 homeruns as well. Anyway, tonight’s game sees 1st place on the line again.
Whitey Herdog is back from the Vet’s and doing well. I am eating my late supper tonight of a center cut rib chop in the air fryer, some baked beans, and a piece of strawberry cream pie.
Be tough to handle Madison tonight but maybe somebody will surprise us. I sure hope Williams is not in the lineup tonight. Or tomorrow night, or the next night, or the next, etc, etc.

May 28, 2021 at 7:52 pm #162636For our din-din we had a vegetable curry dish picked up from an Indian restaurant. It was spicy and pretty good for something different. Wouldn’t have minded a couple meatballs sitting on top but I don’t think they have meatballs. Besides, I am on a diet. Some more back yard strawberries for desert.
May 28, 2021 at 7:54 pm #162637Still waiting for Carlson to get rolling. Hope he can make the proper readjustments….sooner rather than later. MadBum is usually pretty tough on us. But not tonight. I think we romp in this game to the tune of 9-3.
Biscuits & gravy, fried ribs, homemade ice cream and strawberry drizzled cake. Welcome home, Rat. Glad to see your din-dins are rounding back into form. Thumbs up to Scotty and BicycleMike’s din-dins tonight. Thumbs down for Bling’s
May 28, 2021 at 8:08 pm #162639We’ve been better vs LH pitchers so far, but I’m expecting Oviedo to give up 5, 7-5 final, and a W.
Meat lovers supreme was gooooood.
May 28, 2021 at 8:56 pm #162641We got the tools, we got the talent. 4-0
May 28, 2021 at 8:56 pm #162642Tyler O’Neill just loves series when he comes back from the DL. 10 dingers so far in only 113 plate appearances is a pretty solid start.
May 28, 2021 at 9:01 pm #162643But Johan has a 5.74 ERA so we better get some more runs.
May 28, 2021 at 9:06 pm #162644Horrible throw by Thomas. Should’ve been a gimme assist and put out for the final out of the inning and no runs.
