RHP Lance Lynn (1-0, 2.81) vs. LHP Jose Quintana (1-2, 4.21)

Also BS Southeast and Southwest ExtraThanks for putting these up Brian. It makes it easy to come right here for game time and starting pitchers. And thanks to Blinger for getting the lineups in.
We are at the 1/6 point of the 2024 season. And……
Arenado – 1 homerun. On pace for 6 for the year.
Goldschmidt – 2 homeruns. On pace for 12 for the year.
What is wrong with these two peapickers?

You have to be excited with LL taking a turn in NY today. You just know Lance destroyed a couple dozen Bavarian Bismarks for Sunday morning breakfast. Probably washed them down with frosted mugs of ice cold root beer.
Bless their pea-pickin’ hearts. I bet Rat listened to a little Tennessee Ernie Ford back in the day.
You can book this one in the “L” column as it is real tough to sweep a .500 team in their park, plus our old buddy “Q” will want to come at us with his best stuff.
As for the two “peapickers”, I believe Roger Maris did not hit his first home run of 1961 until May 1st. Now the season started later in those days, and the Yankees had a lot of lousy weather early on in ’61. But no need to dwell too much on numbers right now as players do not usually hit homers at a steady pace all season. They will hit ’em in bunches for awhile, then have a drought.
Recently I’ve liked how Oli used his best relievers. We need wins. Without them we are sellers.
These same relievers, and the concern over IP totals, may be playing for someone else the 2nd half.
Forget the “get away day” lineup. Get the win Oli.
Din-din today will be a Ribeye steak in the air fryer and some jumbo crinkle cut french fries. Along with an ice cold slushy Mt. Dew. Then a big bowl of Turkey Hill Vanilla Bean ice cream for dessert. Then a 7×50 Palma Real Presidente cigar while me and Whitey Herdog are on the couch, tuning in.
I hope the guy shows up today that is going to help me get the skunk out from underneath my 3-car garage with the 1,000 sq foot finished apartment above it for my rental property. I had a skunk dig under the garage and I want to get it out.

First off, Jojo, Kittredge and Helsley have been dominate. It’s been great to have a backend BP that you aren’t terrified of!
That being said, after back to back nights for the trio, I’d have to believe all 3 are off limits for today’s matinee? It’s a long season and we don’t want to see the burnout that we have witnessed all to often in past seasons.
Gallegos, Fernandez and Libby should take over those roles for the day. Or Lynn could just throw a CG?
LF B. Donovan L
DH W. Contreras R
3B N. Arenado R
1B P. Goldschmidt R
C Ivan Herrera R
RF L. Nootbaar L
SS Masyn Winn R
2B Nolan Gorman L
CF Mike Siani LThat’s really something that Roger didn’t connect for his first of 61 HR’s until the month of May. It only serves to better illustrate the sort of rampage he displayed for the remainder of that ’61 season. I also recall being a bit mystified the first time I ever noticed that Maris didn’t receive a solitary IBB during that 1961 season. Then I thought about the ominous sight of Mantle looming on deck…Haha!
I think this lineup is about the best we can do with what we’ve got. Sometimes the algo finds an acorn. We’ve got the B team in the pen, so we better score some runs.
LL’s done pretty well to this point, but he’s prone to serve up too many taters. He’d better be careful or Alonso could rip a month’s worth today.
Yep we will be relying on the bullpen B team today so hopefully Lynn is sharp and the bats are alive.
Much of the #STLCards recent success has been because their bullpen has been solid. JoJo Romero, Andrew Kittredge and Ryan Helsley closed out wins on Fri and Sat. However, they won’t be available today, opening chances for Matthew Liberatore, Ryan Fernandez & Giovanny Gallegos.
