forsche…I had a friend back then who referred to LaPoint as “LaPortly.” Haha!
September 29, 2022 at 12:27 am #202783Just pretend this one didn’t happen, kinda like I did when I saw the lineup.
September 29, 2022 at 5:19 am #202785Of the 6 pitchers used, Woodford has the lowest ERA but is least used.
DeJong another Ofer, nothing new there. Carlson was Ofer 5. Ouch. Nice to see DeLuzio looking good in the box score.
September 29, 2022 at 7:54 am #202790Tryouts for the bullpen and the bench.
Last night was a good trial against a playoff quality starter.
September 29, 2022 at 8:29 am #202791I wish they would bring up Mason Winn, not sure about spelling, and let him have these last 6 games at ss! What could it hurt? Dejong should not be on a playoff roster!! Period! We can use Edman there, Donovan there, and maybe Winn! We as an organization have got to get past Paul Dejong! It is time for this to be over forever!
September 29, 2022 at 9:22 am #202793What could Winn possibly do worse than DeJong, at this point.
September 29, 2022 at 9:54 am #202794DeJong is a better defender at SS.
September 29, 2022 at 10:31 am #202795Winn is assigned to the Arizona Fall League.
DeJong is steady but Winn can be spectacular.
September 29, 2022 at 10:39 am #202797forsch31…That’s a legitimate question. The only answer I can come up with is a concern that the young middle IF’er could possibly experience an ill-timed episode of defensive yips or a mental lapse under the pressure that will certainly exist during a high stakes situation in a post-season game. He couldn’t hardly do any worse in the batter’s box.
September 29, 2022 at 10:42 am #202798BW…I’m not up to speed on this. So, Winn being assigned to the AZFL means he’s ineligible for the post-season roster? No way, no how? What about feigning some sort of malady? There has to be a way…Haha!
September 29, 2022 at 10:47 am #202799What could Winn possibly do worse than DeJong, at this point.
Winn is not as good at making money.
I checked…Dejong has a -5 wRC+ in 78 plate appearances since his initial hot streak ended. That’s almost impossible to accomplish. Most pitchers would probably be better as pinch hitters than Dejong. Corey Dickerson is about as bad lately.
September 29, 2022 at 10:52 am #202801I almost have to believe that at this point Paul DeJong experiences a genuine sense of relief when he sees that the line-up card does NOT contain his name…
September 29, 2022 at 11:01 am #202802Oh boy…the Phillies lost to the Cubs yesterday for their 4th consecutive loss. Fans in Philadelphia are busy tying noose knots in lengths of rope. I can’t count how many times I heard them boo Mike Schmidt when he played. Heck, they boo Santa Clause out there…
September 29, 2022 at 11:25 am #202803DeJong is steady but Winn can be spectacular.
Lots of guys can be spectacular in The Texas League. DeJong probably was too.
September 29, 2022 at 12:10 pm #202807I’ve can’t recall anyone saying DeJong is a better defender than Winn. He might be a steady defender at a higher level but I don’t think he’s a better overall defender.
September 29, 2022 at 12:27 pm #202808forsch31…I’ve never seen Winn play, so I don’t know how he compares to DeJong defensively. What I do know, is that the game of baseball features two fundamental ingredients that consist of offense and defense. DeJong is entirely devoid of the former.
September 29, 2022 at 3:04 pm #202814I thought Quintana featured another nice turn that bolstered his case for a start in the first round, but I still think the Redbirds chances hinge more on the performance of the big kids with the bats than on who gets the baseball for the starting assignments. If the Cardinals don’t hit, it’ll be an early departure from the play-offs. This edition doesn’t have a stopper type SP’er. The fellas are going to have to slug their way to an early lead and probably hand the baseball to the BP by the 5th or 6th inning.
September 29, 2022 at 3:21 pm #202815This is a mute conversation because Winn is playing in the AFL next week and Dejong is 100% going to be the backup SS. Hopefully, Eddie plays every inning of the play-off there except for as a late-inning defensive replacement.
September 29, 2022 at 3:28 pm #202816GameCard…Marmol may plan on placing Eddie at 2B and the superior arm of DeJong at SS…Haha!
September 29, 2022 at 4:03 pm #202817I was checking out some old comments on another thread and none other than fellow commenter and baseball friend “Pugsley Addams” predicted way back on March 31st that Pujols would get to HR #700…Haha! He also wrote, “Two very huge intangibles in his corner. Knowing that this is his last hurrah and returning home where 95% of his baseball magic took place.” The guy is a genuine fortune teller!
