StL 2026 Gm #123 thread – Sat, Aug15 at Cubs – “The Baez Game”

[bicyclemike]

What!???? Three!!! Incredible!!!

[AlbertTheMachine]

Wow Joshua Baez that is amazing. First time ever in MLB history

[AlbertTheMachine]

Baez has hit a HR to CF, LF, and now RF

[bicyclemike]

My wife walked in right after Baez hit #3, and I said “All the baseball I have watched or listened to and I just saw something that has never been done before.” Even she was impressed. Man, that is something else.

Now we need to finish this game off with a win and not let the Cubs back in it.

[bicyclemike]

…then she saw the Jordan homer and said, “Looks like everyone is doing it. “ 😁

[Cardinals27]

History!! Jordan also.

[blingboy]

In the old days he’d get plunked next time up.

[KeepComingBack]

I heard them say he has 30 family members there. What a party Joshua threw for them!

[KeepComingBack]

You aren’t wrong Bling

[gscottar]

That was the second time Herrera has been hit today. He didn’t seem to thrilled about it.

[TexasCard]

Oh my. What a debut. Never been done in the history of the game. Where can I get that Baez jersey. Let’s go.

[gscottar]

Burly Bomb. 8-3 good guys.

[gscottar]

Stanek seems determined to let the Cubs back in the game.

[bicyclemike]

I need to look for Josh Baez rookie cards.

[bicyclemike]

That Wetherholt-Winn combo really is good. They might be about as good as Herr-Smith.

[gscottar]

I agree Mike. Despite Winn’s offensive woes I hope the Cards lock him up long term. That would be a dynamic duo up the middle for the next several years.

[Cardinal in France]

Oh zoot! I stepped away for a bit to tend to Madame CiF (unwell today) and missed all the gorgeous fireworks. Guess I have to catch it tomorrow on replay.

[gscottar]

You are going to enjoy these highlights CIF.

[gscottar]

The way Wetherholt stands at the plate and holds the bat reminds me of Joc Pederson.

[bicyclemike]

Surprised OB is in with a 4 run cushion, but maybe no one else available. If he can get this done quick he could still come back on the morrow.

[bicyclemike]

Baez already in the groove with the post game jump shot.

[gscottar]

That was fun to watch. Even better than the Pujols 3HR game at Wrigley in 2004 and I saw that one in person.

[blingboy]

Somewhere I think I saw Baez needs to be held to under 130 PAs.

[Carter Le Grand]

Bling, I’m confused. I thought Bernie said something different. But bear in mind that he is a .250 hitter and these big league pitchers will figure out how to pitch to him at some point…they usually do

[858booyah]

I’m just waiting for the “what if we’d brought him up sooner” crowd to chime in.

People already worried Oli will sit him tomorrow.
