A sweep would be nice but the odds say might not happen. Hard to sweep a team on the road.
I think WC will be sat tomorrow. Might have a Burleson sighting.
Bummer, planning on finishing my buddy’s winter firewood today. He’s got 9 yrs on me and the chainsaw is out of his wheelhouse now, but he gets outside w/me and helps load and stack. Helps him keep his lifestyle and adult dignity intact, but we WILL have the game on the radio.
Can we try that sweep thing? Bring it home TCN!
Good to get the series, but storm clouds are on the horizon in the form of our poor offense.
We need at least two more guys to get going with the bats or the wins will be few and far between. Walker seems to be better in the outfield, but has not progressed as a hitter to this point. Gorman is streaky, Goldschmidt looks old, Scott is overmatched. Both catchers are doing okay, but that is a bit awkward trying to play both. Arenado is coming along and should be fine.
But we need to find at least two of the under-performers to figure it out soon. Maybe Carlson will finally fulfill some of his original potential when he returns.
It think we’ve lost all the last games of series this year. Didn’t we have that issue a few years back? Maybe it was last year, even. Seems like a focus issue. Gotta get a W here to keep pace against the last place As.

Nice observation, stlcard25 and albeit a relatively small body of work, it’s a rather telling stat. Oli has to teach these guys how to close under various situations…..unless Oli is a little inefficient himself on effectively closing matters. All the winning teams are good or great closers.
Especially when you have the opponent on the mat, you cannot continually allow him to rise and punch you in the face. Winners in baseball, as in life, are adept closers. I’ll be very disappointed if we can’t complete the sweep on this lower rung squad today. I’m mired in work down here in the ole’ salt mines today, but hope to get these guys running out ALL their ground balls, so I can get out of here early to catch at least some of today’s action.Gotta get that offense going. Desperately need Edman & Carlson back. I know Carlson is not a favorite, but he’s always hit better than Siani or Scott.
LF B. Donovan L
1B P. Goldschmidt R
RF L. Nootbaar L
3B N. Arenado R
DH W. Contreras R
2B Nolan Gorman L
C Ivan Herrera R
SS Masyn Winn R
CF Mike Siani LPeople pretty much know my lineup by now, but just to make it official using that same group I would have gone:
Donovan
Winn
Nootbaar
Arenado
Contreras
Goldschmidt
Gorman
Herrera
SianiAnd really would prefer Herrera at 6 and Goldy at 8, but that is a little drastic even though Goldy’s production is not on par with the young backstop to this point.
Okay, wont be watching the first part of this one as I am getting out on the bike for awhile. Will have the KMOX broadcast dialed in though while riding. Would be nice to sweep, but I think it will take more than 3 runs to do that this time.
Blackburn settles in by striking out the side in the top 2nd, 0-0. I don’t think they will go quietly.
