Nope but the strikeout with the bases loaded and the double play, yep! It’s what we do!

jj-cf-stlParticipantWe might have a risp issue 👀
August 12, 2024 at 6:54 pm #264003lol, ya think! It has been so bad all year we have just gotten used to it! For me, if it’s not Winn or Burleson up with RISP I just basically give up! I think back to 2012, 13, 14 when we hit with RISP! It was a beautiful thing!
August 12, 2024 at 6:57 pm #264005This season’s standings illustrate the degree of overall mediocrity in both leagues in the sense that not a solitary division leader features a W/L pct. of .600 or above. After those six division leaders, there’s an extensive collection of teams that could aptly be described by shrugging your shoulders and muttering something like, “I guess they’re kinda’ good”…There’s really not a lot to get too excited about in the baseball world in 2024. I’d say we need someone who knows how to inject a little fun and excitement back into the game of baseball. I miss guys like Bill Veeck.

Reds are rollin’
If we can hang around a few more weeks, the NFL will kick in.
August 12, 2024 at 7:09 pm #264008Man that guy Steer is really beefing up the Redleg offense. He is making hamburger out of our hurler.
August 12, 2024 at 7:11 pm #264009Using OPS+ we are 29th out of 30 in hitting with RISP! Thank his for the CWS’s! It’s just pitiful!

jj-cf-stlParticipantI’m probably the only Chiefs fan here, but give em’ a try sometime 😉
August 12, 2024 at 7:16 pm #264012Have we ever thrown out a runner at 2nd trying to steal? Asking for a friend.

I grew up 2 miles from Arrowhead in Independence.

August 12, 2024 at 7:29 pm #264017Never a good thing when you don’t have anything close to resembling an Ace on your staff.
August 12, 2024 at 7:36 pm #264018Marshmallow. All of eM.
August 12, 2024 at 7:42 pm #264019Just checking in on the game. Everything is fine I see. How does Walker look? Plate,field.
August 12, 2024 at 7:52 pm #264020They should let Armstrong finish the game. This is why we traded for him, isn’t it?
August 12, 2024 at 7:54 pm #264021Ahh…We’re in the bottom of the 8th. Armstrong will indeed finish the game.
August 12, 2024 at 7:59 pm #264023I hate this game. Lately, I kind of hate this team. I had some hope at the beginning of the season. I had a little more hope after the team played far better in May and June. But then it became apparent that we weren’t good enough and I advocated for trading Helsley and possibly Kittredge and keeping Carlson. Instead we trade Edman away right before he’s finally ready to return. That wasn’t terrible. But it wasn’t great either. Then we traded Carlson for a player who is not good and hurts our ability to call up pitchers because he has no options. It’s like having Carpenter. Another useless spot on the roster clogged up with someone who is redundant. And while I’m angry this team is playing so poorly this game, I’m also kind of hoping we lose 25 games in a row to get a better draft pick and truly wake up and stop playing entitled.
August 12, 2024 at 8:06 pm #264024Well, Tommy Pham was their 3 slot hitter tonight and I’m of the mindset that they’ll never win anything worthwhile under the current leadership, but it’s my guess that they probably won’t lose 25 in a row.
August 12, 2024 at 8:06 pm #264025
jj-cf-stlParticipantI’ve figured it out.
We do better when we don’t play.August 12, 2024 at 8:06 pm #264026Cardinals are making a strong playoff push! One game over .500 ought to fill the stands…
August 12, 2024 at 8:30 pm #264030It’s been clear to me they aren’t going anywhere since the allstar break. Tears me up. It really got to me when I realized that not only do the Royals have a better record than the Cardinals and beat them 3 out of 4 games, but they are a better organization in every way. It’s going to take a lot to exite me until they clean house.
August 12, 2024 at 8:32 pm #264031After tonight we are about as close the basement of the NL Central and we are to a playoff spot! If I had to bet which one of the two we might get, it ain’t gonna be the playoffs! lol!
August 12, 2024 at 8:38 pm #264032Playing platoon baseball again. Benched three lefty hitters (burleson, Gorman and Nootbar). Same result as usual when benching more than one regular
