Speaking of Goldschmidt…….
He’s not doing much with the Yankers this year. Only appeared in about ten games with only one dong. Plus he’s hitting under .200.
I wonder if he would be DFA’d in the near future? If so, and we happen to still be in the wild card hunt, any chance we might bring him back and perhaps catch lightning in a bottle?
April 28, 2026 at 7:49 pm #306083Wetherholt and Herrera are HBP machines
April 28, 2026 at 7:50 pm #306084Herrera drills a double down the line in left with JJ slapping on the brakes at 3rd with 1 out.
They sure are, Albert…..Herrera also being a base on balls machine.
April 28, 2026 at 7:51 pm #306085That was a rocket off of Burly’s bat
April 28, 2026 at 7:52 pm #306086My only soft drinks now are Dr. Pepper on road trips and ginger ale on planes. Shifted to fruit for a lot more of my snacks. I’m waiting for cherries to be in season.
Bikemike-
Are you talking removing Dotel last night? His other two appearances this year he only went 1 and 1.2 innings. Barco going to long tonight means their pen, other than Dotel, should be good to go tomorrow. We might see a position player soon. Those last two games are gonna be hard. Dobbins drawing Skenes for his first Cards game is a rude welcome.
I’m really looking forward to watching Winn and Weatherholt up the middle for a long while to go…
April 28, 2026 at 7:52 pm #306087Barco tossing batting practice out here in the 8th. 11-3 Cards in a true laugher.
April 28, 2026 at 7:53 pm #306088Now it’s the old Don Meredith time back in his MNF days – “turn out the lights, the party’s over.”

ParticipantWooster here checking in Pugs! Saw the end of the game last night. Tieing run a the plate bottom of 9 th had me a bit concerned but we pulled it out! Had to watch it in 3 games at once live look in. Hard to see for me. Leahy looks like he’s getting better every game. Weatherholt with a power surge is nice too. Bottom of lineup missing at the plate again. Had pizza hut tonight. Limited carbs-protein and non surgery drinks is the way to go if you can.
April 28, 2026 at 7:55 pm #306090Ain’t this fun!
April 28, 2026 at 7:57 pm #306091Rats-
About Goldy…I think with the old management that would be more likely. My sense is that they want to let the kids play this year. But I wouldn’t mind letting Pozo go and having a righty 1B to sub for Burly now and then. And it would likely get us a hall of famer on the roster this year.
April 28, 2026 at 7:58 pm #306092Yeah Gags, I understand the whole “bullpen game” thing, but the way Dotel was going you have to adjust. He was warmed up and throwing strikes. You take advantage of that and let him go until he struggles a bit. Playing push button manager rather than managing by what is actually going is not the best way to run things in my opinion.
April 28, 2026 at 7:59 pm #306093Wooster in the house…..sweet! Nice pizza din-din, Wooster. Thanks for all of the anti-sugary drink talk, gang…..I may never have a soft drink again ……but I will indulge in a hard drink or two with my beloved Wild Turkey.

ParticipantTurkeys don’t count Pugs just don’t let one spur ya!
April 28, 2026 at 8:04 pm #306095Bruihl not impressing anyone, unless you are a Buc fan or hitter.
April 28, 2026 at 8:04 pm #306096These games against the Pirates don’t make sense. Does anybody understand what’s really going on?
Pugs. Please explain this.
April 28, 2026 at 8:06 pm #306097It is brutal to watch Bruihl pitch
April 28, 2026 at 8:12 pm #306098I’d love to explain the Cards-Pirates mystic, Mudville, but I just now cracked open the Wild Turkey. I should have a reasonable response to your question in about 30 minutes or 3 drinks from now, whichever one comes first.

ParticipantMy game got cancelled tonight because of rain but im still out here cleaning up. Nice to see the pirates are still the pirates. You would think a team losing as much as they have just by odds would at some point have a good team. Nice to see they can even screw the odds up.
April 28, 2026 at 8:14 pm #306100I have walked across the Clemente bridge to a Pirate-Cardinal game. Skenes pitched and we beat him 2-1.
April 28, 2026 at 8:17 pm #306101This Pirate team is better than they have shown tonight ‘82. They will be above .500 this year if their rotation stays healthy.
April 28, 2026 at 8:18 pm #306102Glad Griffin didn’t do that in the ninth last night.
April 28, 2026 at 8:24 pm #306103Svanson whiffs Mangum and our old pal Ozuna……one more out to go….Cards up 11-7.
April 28, 2026 at 8:26 pm #306104Ballgame……11-7 your lovely final from The Steel City in beautiful western Pennsylvania.
April 28, 2026 at 8:27 pm #306105An untidy ending but enjoyable game nonetheless.
It’s late here. Gnite.April 28, 2026 at 8:28 pm #306106I see I missed a fun one tonight! Traveling for work plus meetings cost me a good Cardinals over the Pirates butt kicking. Kudos to Rats for predicting the big win!
