StL 2024 Game #45 thread – Friday, May 17 vs. Red Sox

[bicyclemike]

Man, Herrera looking for the walk – strike three pitch right down central, to quote Mike Shannon.

[AlbertTheMachine]

That is exactly what I want to see Burly doing. Pulling the ball in the air on an inside pitch. Those will squeak out of the park and tally onto the HR count.

[1toughdominican]

He’s framed up like a guy who could hit 30. I’m with you, Albert…I’d like to see him turn it loose more often.

[1toughdominican]

Gibson’s turning in another journeyman performance thru 5. You almost have to be at least satisfied so far with all 3 additions to the rotation.

[Albert de Morcerf]

Gotta give it to Burleson. He’s having a great May.

[jj-cf-stl]

If Siani develops the oppo stroke of Donovan, he will stick. Donnie doubles at it again.

[AlbertTheMachine]

The bats are really starting to warm up. Donny and Noot with over 700 OPS now. League average and on the way up as of late

[bicyclemike]

Nice piece of hitting there by Goldy. Didn’t try to do too much – went with the pitch and got the run home with two outs.

[KeepComingBack]

Yea Goldy. That beats a garbage time Homer any day.

[jj-cf-stl]

Bronze busts chipping in too.

[1toughdominican]

I thought Tyler got it.

[bicyclemike]

O’Neill has hit a couple of shots – just missed.

[1toughdominican]

Quick inning of work for Gibson.

[bicyclemike]

Four homers??? Who are these guys and what did they do to the real Cardinals?

[1toughdominican]

Masyn reached down and got that 2 run tater!

[AlbertTheMachine]

Winn with his 1st HR of the season!

[Jnevel]

Cardinals WRC+ since the beginning of the Brewers series on May 10:

Pages: 226
Gorman: 215
Burleson: 213
Herrera: 199
Winn: 151
Nootbaar: 142
Donovan: 133
Goldschmidt: 128
Carpenter: 97
Siani: 60
Carlson: 33
Arenado: -20

[KeepComingBack]

Sure glad Siani is playing respectably. Scott can’t hit aaa not going to be ready any time soon. I don’t expect Tommy either.

[jj-cf-stl]

When Gorman gets streaky he’ll give you multi-HR games. Slugger profile to date.

[jj-cf-stl]

Good point KCB. Does Winn have a RH hitting Edman, look to you?

[jj-cf-stl]

BOS not slowing this lineup down.

[Jnevel]

Burleson now flirting with an .800 OPS. 2nd on the team to Contreras.

[jj-cf-stl]

How are our DH numbers within mlb? Seems like they should be real good.

[Jnevel]

3rd most WAR, 7th best in WRC+

So yeah. Good with the DH.

[jj-cf-stl]

2nd half Nootbaar may be showing up early.
