Will be interesting to see how many hit-by-pitches and possible ejections happen in this game after the Contreras incidents today.
I would have expected an interesting afternoon twenty or thirty years ago, but they no longer allow the boys to conduct business among themselves like was once customary. I could certainly be wrong, but I don’t expect any spillover to result in anything that could be termed a genuine hardball sort of dustup amongst the kiddos. Now that I’ve said that, they may need to seek help from the Wisconsin National Guard to restore order on the field…Haha!

I like that top of the lineup and am eager to see how it pans out. The Gorman-Walker lump leaves me cold. Let’s hope the top end prevails.
Rah Cardinals! And eat a dog for me Pugs.I’d have to say that Father’s Day is the genuine official/unofficial special occasion day for the game of baseball so, Happy Father’s Day to all of my fellow dads!
Was a good Fathers Day. Took my Dad to a local BBQ place for the Sunday Brunch Buffet and found out that Fathers got to eat for free today.
Looks like the Cards are going to lose a close one. Down 3-2 in bottom of the 8th. Hoping for several runs in the ninth.3-2 Milwaukee your final.
Once again only two runs in a hitters park. Sound familiar?
And once again those last three batters all they wanted to do was slug, slug, slug. It would have helped if somebody would have just tried to make contact instead of trying to slug it out there.
Looks like Ivan the Great had a great game again. I’m guessing he did quite well behind the plate as well with Mikolas pitching a good game.
Gorman with another good game as well.
As long as the blinders keep running Walkers .587 ops out to RF, Gorman is a bench bat. It took a DFA of Oli’s project (Vilade), a bad big toe of Donny and a fall off the cliff by Noot to get Gorman any playing time.
He has taken advantage of the opportunity, leading the club in ops the last month, but he has his seat cushion already inflated.
2025, thru June 15th by ops+:
158 Herrera, 131 Donny
114 Burly, 110 Contreras, 102 Gorman, 100 Pozo
98 Winn, 94 Noot, 93 Arenado
82 Scott, 71 Pages, 65 Walker, 58 Siani
Season to date results can be a bit misleading regarding who deserves playing time right now, IMO.
Gorman should play as should Walker, who had been starting to hit better just before he was injured. On the other hand, Nootbaar was 0-for-18 last week and is batting just .114 in June. That should be where the extra at-bats come from.
Pugs?
If Front Row Amy is there today you know what to do!Sorry, nearly missed this post, Rat. Amy hasn’t been attending as many games as she usually does. Who knows why? A new romance in her life gobbling up her time? The Brewers not being quite the exciting team that they’ve been over the past decade or so?
And yes, Rat……..the next time I see Front Row Amy, I will indeed hand her your photo with accompanying phone number and your request to take her out for a Friday night Catfish Fiddler din-din. How could she say “no”?
