    Hopefully Matz pitches a great game.

    How long has Helsley been on the bench?

    Seems like you need to get him an inning every 3-4 days no matter what?

    On or before May 10th. To do otherwise would be telling your baseball savy followers that you’re already waving the white towel of surrender on 2025.

    Our 1-10 road record puts us with some pretty uninspiring company…..those with one win or less away from their friendly confines. First off there’s the darlings (ChiSox) of the AL Central, sitting at 1-9. Then over in the NL West you have the mighty Colorado Rockies checking in at 1-11. Then over in the AL East we actually have a win less road team. Tampa Bay is 0-3….0-3? How does a team have 19 of their first 22 games scheduled at home? I’ll have to check their schedule, but if this continues, they may not be seeing much of Florida after the all star break. And while on the topic, how effective and economical for all concerned would it be for half the teams playing their first 81 games at home and then hitting the road for their final 81? I’ll have to ponder this further, but maybe there’s some hidden logic to this idea.

    And what’s for din-din one may ask? I think a trip over to Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse is in the cards. As is my culinary ritual, as soon as I exit Johnny’s, I’ll be making my way over to the drive-thru lane at Popeye’s to snag 3 scrumptious apple cinnamon pies.

    Until we end this losing streak, a two inning save from Helsley should be on the table.

    We only win road games when we face Paul Skenes.

    I wonder how many little weak ground balls Arenado will hit in this one tonight? Or how many little weak pop flys or flyballs?

    Sort of like he did to end the game last night. Then again, Aaron Judge struck out to end the game last night in Cleveland. And he was the tying run.

    I love that post, Jnevel! As crazy as that seems, there certainly is some merit to Jnevel’s words. Even with Kyle Hendricks’ advancing age, I’d almost rather face Skenes that the ex-cubs hurler.

    Tonight is a pivotal game for our Cardinals. A team like our 2025 Cardinals may have 4 or 5 pivotal regular season games. Stellar teams such as the Dodgers or Padres may not have a single pivotal regular season game all year. The same can be said about the lousy clubs like the Rockies or ChiSox. But your middle of the road teams could have several. If our Cardinals lose this pivotal game tonight, it unfortunately could be their final crucial game on the year……which would be a crying shame at this juncture.

    That’s true Pugs. Whether or not I go back to watching Cannon and The Streets Of San Francisco during the weeknights might depend on this game tonight. Or games in the very near future.

    Let us all pray that Rat will be not indulging full-board on a steady diet of Cannon, The Streets of San Francisco and of course the lovely Audra of The Big Valley fame, until this coming winter.

    Still toiling away down here at the salt mines, so I cannot give this game my full undivided attention just yet, but I just brought up the replay in Noot’s tater and boy did that Braves hurler blew-ett on that pitch…….I think even I could have gone yard on that pitch. 2-0 Good Guys.

    Dodgers lead the Cubs 3-0 on the heels of a first inning 3 run tater by…You guessed it, Little Eddie. That’s his 8th HR of season which gives him the Dodger team lead in that category. He also leads all other Dodgers with 18 RBI’s. This is getting silly. I hope he’s not hanging out with Canseco and McGwire out there in California…

    He really lost his command on back to back walks.

    Winn spits on a outer half strike and swings on two inside pitches off the plate. Ok then.

    Who’s watching the Dodgers-cubs game? Twins are tied 1-1 with the ChiSox in the 3rd.

    And what’s wrong with Baltimore? Cincinnati just harpooned them the other day 24-2 and now Washington is drilling them 6-0 in the 6th in our nation’s capital.

    The HR and double were both center cut mistakes. Andre is all over the place.

    Murphy goes downtown on us again…..this time a solo shot in the 4th slicing the Redbird lead in half…..2-1 with Atlanta looking for more.

    We saw Molina keep 10,001 of those in front of HP.
