RHP Andre Pallante (6-15, 5.21 in 2025) vs. RHP Kodai Senga (7-6, 3.02 in 2025)
Cards.TV // KMOX // WIJRTheoretically, there should be a big difference between a $15 Million guy and a minimum wage guy. But it is possible the $15M guy is off and the min wage guy is on.

Where is the Reds game? Why isn’t it on TV???
Me and Whitey Herdog had just sat down with a cigar and a Mt. Dew to watch the first few innings of the Pirates and Reds and now we find out it’s not on TV anywhere.
Guess we will watch the first few innings of the WhiteSox and Marlins. See how Montgomery does, I guess.

A likely series loss with Pallante going, but that is what we have.
Still don’t get this lineup with Herrera and Winn at 2 and 4 instead of being reversed.
Oh, for din-din the Lovely Lady Bike and I put together nachos. I am having an ice cold cerveza with mine. Mexican food just calls for a beer to accompany it.
He’s trying to create an image of himself as the mad genius, Bikemike. He did that in the 2 most important games that he’s ever managed and all that ever happens is that he appears as someone who’s more than a bit silly.
Yeah, I guess that is it 1TD. To me it’s like the ’67 Cardinals hitting Cepeda at 2 and Flood at 4, or the ’85 bunch hitting Jack Clark at 2 and Willie McGee at 4.
Just a weird top of the order.
Although he was trying to lay one down for a hit, I can’t say I at all like the bunt attempt from Winn. It’s the 1st inning for goodness sake. I’d like to see a manager and coaching staff that will make it the first order of business to see to it that the players on this team know how to play the game of baseball.
Until Winn proves he is a better hitter than he showed last year he needs to be hitting in the 8th spot.
Bunting in that spot was tremendously stupid in my opinion.Yeah, he looks good over there on the right corner of the IF, Bikemike. I always like a left handed 1B’man. Once you’ve seen Hernandez man up at 1B, you almost demand that the guy at that position be a lefty. Old Keith was just plain slick.
I like lefty first sackers as well. Hernandez was something else – probably the gold standard at first. Another good one we had was Bill White.
Wow, Senga mows us down. I like that the Mets went back to the classic orange and blue uni’s. They had those black-based uniforms for awhile, which were awful. The orange and blue is classic New York – a tribute to the Giants and Dodgers after they took the last train for the coast.
Barring a significant injury, once his career is in the books Soto is going to have some very impressive numbers. Likely well over 3000 hits, maybe 500 homers, and lots of other stats that will stack up well with the all-time greats. Not a good defensive player though.
Bill White as a Cardinal was just a shade before my time, Bikemike, but I recall attending a game with my paternal grandfather when White was playing for the Phillies. During a key AB with RISP White took a real healthy rip at a fastball and fouled it straight back into the screen. He just missed it. I vividly recall my grandfather shaking his head before looking over at me and saying, “Shwew…That was too close for comfort”…He well remembered Bill White as a Cardinal and knew how utterly dangerous he could be…Haha. Funny how we recall little things like that from long ago and can’t find the car keys.
Great story, 1TD. I was a kid in Wyoming when White was our first sacker. Loved his baseball cards, but rarely saw him play on TV obviously. I have a similar memory though – White with the Phillies. My mom was from Georgia, and in 1966 we made a road trip to her family’s locale. My dad and uncle took me and my cousin to a Braves-Phillies game – the first year of the Braves in Atlanta.
The Phillies won 7-5, with White hitting a key 2-run double late. Richie (later “Dick”) Allen played left field that night, and my dad pointed out to me how he kept missing the cut off man, who was another former Cardinal, Dick Groat.
