3:05 p.m.
RHP Michael McGreevy (0-1, 2.53) vs. RHP Miles Mikolas (0-2, 14.46)
Cards/TV // KMOXApril 8, 2026 at 8:05 am #304248If we don’t light Miles up I’m going to be very disappointed.
I’d like to chase him with 1 out in the top of the third with 5 runs across and 2 on base waiting for whoever get the early call to the pen.
April 8, 2026 at 8:52 am #304250Looking for JJ to have a breakout game. 3-4 hits, couple of stolen bases.
And…can King Kong Walker hit his third of the series?
April 8, 2026 at 9:04 am #304252Everybody in the lineup should go yard Mikolas if he gets through the lineup twice.
April 8, 2026 at 10:28 am #304260Great comeback win last night. We are all hoping we are seeing a maturing Jordan Walker. Time will tell.
The Cardinals have been wearing the classic navy blue hats on the road against teams with red as their primary color. Wonder if that has changed, although Washington has a variety of uni styles and not always featuring red. Kind of like their former team now in the Dallas, TX area that will wear red uni’s one night and blue the next.
April 8, 2026 at 11:53 am #304267It wouldn’t surprise me if Mikolas pitched a 4-hit shutout against us today.

Agreed…he’s a bum
BTW everyone: I have been going thru TV, internet, telephone and modem issues all at once since the 1st week of the season. I can only get my Cards MLB highlights on you tube.
But It’s working today!
April 8, 2026 at 1:39 pm #304277Those sorts of problems will make you say a lot of bad words…Glad to hear all that stuff’s back up to speed, LeGrand.
April 8, 2026 at 1:41 pm #304278Could we be haunted today?
We’ll see. He is at home. So Im not expecting a shutout or a 10 run outburst. A nice 5-4 thriller due to the pen.
April 8, 2026 at 1:42 pm #304279Mikolas’ ’26 pitching line looks nice. You can really tell he likes working his magic in DC. Change is good…For everyone!
April 8, 2026 at 1:51 pm #304281If you place Mikolas’ and Dustin Mays’ pitching line for the ’26 season side by side, they look like one and the same guy. Claire Bloom had the vision and foresight to wheel and deal in order to fill the void created when Miles took his talents to DC… I’m left with a very distinct impression that we’re all going to absolutely adore the duo of the one known as Bloom and his little general.
April 8, 2026 at 3:03 pm #304282Mikolas’ ’26 pitching line looks nice
Well that’s bad news, Dommie! I don’t like seeing ex Cards on the mound or at the plate. They rerrorize us until they get back off the PED’s that made them good ’till got their big contract with us
BTW my tech issues are not resolved. Just lucky today I think
April 8, 2026 at 3:11 pm #304283Looked like Walker checked his swing on the K.
April 8, 2026 at 3:13 pm #304284Well, I guess I’d rather be lucky than resolved…
April 8, 2026 at 3:14 pm #304285Tino Martinez is helping to sell Carshield. Is that anything similar to a windshield?
April 8, 2026 at 3:26 pm #304286That check swing earlier by Walker didn’t even look close to him going.
Good job by McGreevy to work out of some trouble. He needs to get ahead more in the next innings though to keep the pitch count down.
April 8, 2026 at 3:37 pm #304287Burleson delivers the 2 out, 2 RBI base hit.
April 8, 2026 at 3:37 pm #304288Burly with a single to score 2. Mikolas allowing a lot of traffic like he did with STL. Hopefully the Nats are looking for some bulk innings out of him today and leave him in for a while.
April 8, 2026 at 3:48 pm #304290Nice to have a 1-2-3 inning. Any sense of who is available out of the pen? Graceffo and Soriano both threw two yesterday. They used Romero, Bruihl, and Stanek both Sunday and Monday. O’Brien, Svanson, and Shuster are available, but which of the other five? I’d hate to rely on Svanson and Shuster to hold a lead. We need McGreevy to go deep.
April 8, 2026 at 3:49 pm #304291The one area that you can’t hardly fault Mikolas is the ability to take on a workload, Albert. He’s averaged a bit over 175 IP’ed for the last four seasons. That’s a lot these days.
April 8, 2026 at 4:09 pm #304292I’m more than a little surprised that the DC manager didn’t allow Mikolas to continue working after only 55 pitches. He’s pitched ino some trouble but managed to work around most of it to keep it a close 2-1 game. I wish he were allowed to stay in there until the exploding bolts detonated and he self destructed…
April 8, 2026 at 4:10 pm #304293Yup. It’s not like the Nats’ bullpen has been rested and great.
April 8, 2026 at 4:16 pm #304294We chased Mikolas. Good job boys!
Why was he pulled early?
April 8, 2026 at 4:17 pm #304295He must be saving Miles’ arm strength for that all important NL pennant race in Sept. Good idea…
