What kind of crowd will there be heading into the holiday weekend?

[858booyah]

I would assume not great if the previous 3 games were not well attended. Heat, humidity and almost .500 baseball don’t bring out the fair weather BFIB fan base.

Last day to put guys on waivers. Gibson, Kitridge Pham all on watch today.

[bicyclemike]

Gray needs to step up and keep us in the game today.

Ivan the Terrible behind the dish today

Winn
Burly
Nado
Baker DH
Donovan
Goldy
Noot
Ivan
VS2

Watch out for Boegarts, Machado and Profar today.

[bicyclemike]

After last night, Ivan will probably be an upgrade over Pedro.

He will be “Ivan the Tolerable”.

Plenty of tickets behind the plate under $10 crazy.

And right behind the Commissioner Box $7.

I think Mo and Bloom swap jobs this winter.

If they would pan the stands slowly you can count the actual attendance.

[Albert de Morcerf]

Burly & Baker channeling Coleman & McGee?

[1toughdominican]

Yeah, they’ve chased away an awful lot of customers which is always bad for business. Maybe the boss will wake up and chase away the clowns that are responsible for costing him so much money.

[blingboy]

Game cast says Baker stole second.

[Ratsbuddy]

Merrill just homered.

It’s now 2-1 St. Louis in the 5th.

I wonder what the temperature is at the ballpark?

[blingboy]

Bases loaded, one out, Noot and Herrera can’t drive in any. Off with their heads. Or option them out.

[bicyclemike]

Yeah, we pop up with the bases full, and homer with the sacks vacant. We have the NL’s worst average with the bases loaded. It is one of the stories of our season.

[blingboy]

Nice outing by Gray. I guess 90 pitches in the heat is enough.

Kid Kerosene Fernandez gets bailed out

Last 15 IP he’s issues 14 free passes and 12 hits.

Nice in̈ning Lib.

@katiejwoo
The Cardinals are placing Tommy Pham on waivers, sources tell The Athletic.

[mudville]

FWIW, in his last 7 games Victor Scott is batting .248 with and OPS of .872. And those stats have to be slightly higher than that after he just got his second hit for today.

[blingboy]

That’s a wiener.

[858booyah]

I guess Shildt didn’t put his foot on the throat of the Cardinals enough to take the season series.

[jj-cf-stl]

I missed it. Who gets the Game Ball?

[858booyah]

Oli because according to some any game we win under his managing is a miracle.
