Great to see Whitey in the house. He was not able to come on the field with the other Hall of Famers, but waved from a box above.
April 4, 2024 at 3:05 pm #246523Glad to hear that the White Rat was there!
I am calling this one a 3-1 Cardinal win in those frigid conditions that cause little offense.
And Pugs, that’s quite a feast for din-din. My din-din today will be a ribeye steak in the air fryer, some french fries in the oven, an ice cold slushy Mt. Dew, and a big bowl of Turkey Hill Vanilla Bean ice cream. Then a couple of 7×50 Palma Real Presidente cigars while me and Whitey Herdog are on the couch for the game.
r/Esteemed Rat
p.s. I am sure Whitey Herdog will coax a few bites of the ribeye from me..:)
April 4, 2024 at 3:10 pm #246524Contreras and Donovan going down are tough breaks, Pages is more than a formidable backup catcher and Herrera will be more than fine.
Are there any reports of anything broken, etc?
April 4, 2024 at 3:19 pm #246526Look at how everyone is bundled up. 47 degrees is pretty darn warm. Oh my….I just saw a few fans in attendance wearing ear muffs…..wow! Up here in the frozen tundra we have 6 inches of snow on the ground right now and people are running around in shorts.
That’s a pretty fair din-din yourself, Rat. Don’t shortchange the HerDog!
April 4, 2024 at 3:23 pm #246527Siani is simply amazing with the leather. If he could hit just .270 with 15 homers a year, you’d never get him out of a starting lineup.
April 4, 2024 at 3:27 pm #246528Did you see Jazz Chisholm with a full face mask like it is 20 below? Maybe the cold will get in his head.
April 4, 2024 at 3:27 pm #246529Lynn is sporting quite the belly. And his beard is just starting to turn gray. At this pace, he’ll make a great mall Santa by the winter of 2025.
April 4, 2024 at 3:33 pm #246530For some odd reason it feels a lot colder than 47 degrees today. There’s not even a lot of wind. It’s overcast, but that’s about it. Must be some damp air.
April 4, 2024 at 3:36 pm #246531In my view LL takes on too much of a Sasquatch look to ever be a mall Santa. He’d scare the poor little kids half to death. I wouldn’t let my baby granddaughter anywhere near him…Haha!
April 4, 2024 at 3:37 pm #246532Never mind on my Chisholm criticism. Arenado has one, too…
April 4, 2024 at 3:40 pm #246533Jazz has a good excuse. Brian. He’s from the Bahamas.
April 4, 2024 at 3:41 pm #246534Siani is simply amazing with the leather. If he could hit just .270 with 15 homers a year, you’d never get him out of a starting lineup.
Ha! Keep dreaming Pugs. He might hit .220 with 5 home runs. But he will walk over 10% of the time so there’s that.

jj-cf-stlParticipantHerrera sure driving the ball well.
April 4, 2024 at 3:42 pm #246536Herrera launches a moon shot to left that eclipses the wall…..with ease. Guess he likes hitting cleanup.
I confess to being a hopeless dreamer….and a hopeless romantic too, Jnevel.
April 4, 2024 at 3:45 pm #246537Boy our first 3 batters hit it about 1000 combined feet. Not bad.
April 4, 2024 at 3:46 pm #246538Yeah, I thought Walker really got it. Nice play by the Marlin CF’er.
April 4, 2024 at 3:47 pm #246539Herrera making a continued case for regular playing time either at catcher or as a DH. Seems like the time is now for this kid.
April 4, 2024 at 3:49 pm #246540Ivan should get plenty chances. I’m going to guess a bit upwards of 250 PA’s.
April 4, 2024 at 3:53 pm #246541Burleson hit a bullet to the opposite field that almost carried out. Good to see Burly take that kind of a swing against the lefty.
April 4, 2024 at 3:58 pm #246542Shady with his first game thread post…..after starting a Cardinal Nation rookie record 33 new threads. Looks like you’re going to make it, kid.
April 4, 2024 at 4:01 pm #246543Be careful here…..these guys have to be starving for their first “W”.
April 4, 2024 at 4:05 pm #246545And Jake Burger leads off with a homer to left to tie matters up at a run apiece.
April 4, 2024 at 4:09 pm #246546A bunt and a bleeder puts runners at the corners.
April 4, 2024 at 4:12 pm #246547Haha…LL’s mad at them eggs!
April 4, 2024 at 4:12 pm #246548Lance gets a big strikeout. He’s racking them up against maybe the worst offense in the majors.
