StL 2024 Game #57 thread – Friday, May 31 at Phillies

[Shady]

I was listening to some local sports radio personalities yesterday. They really like Burleson as a hitter. Some posters are still in denial. To each there own opinion, I guess.

[RBK]

Google “confirmation bias” . . .

[Shady]

RBK, do you still feel Burleson should be at Memphis? If so, why?

[Ratsbuddy]

The Reds lead the Cubs 4-3 in the top of the 8th at Wrigley. Hope the Reds can hang on.

And the White Sox and Brewers are scoreless in the top of the 1st at Miller Park in Milwaukee.

And in case anybody is interested…..I had three Catfish Fiddlers at the Amish Restaurant just a little while ago. And then a cigar out by the lake.

I’d hate to move Goldy or Arenado right now from 3rd and 5th; so Burly, Gorman, Carp at 2/4/6 kinda falls in place backfilling for Noot.

Please provide the post where I allegedly said “Burleson should be at Memphis.”

You have an unfortunate habit of misrepresenting other posters’ views.

I like it okay, JJ, but why is Winn, who’s 8 for his last 20, sitting on the couch after an off day?

[858booyah]

Play Winn Oli you idiot!!!! He had the day off yesterday.

Crawford is hitting .176 against Nola lifetime. Frustrating! Black hole 8-9

I hope 1TD is joking about Walker being called up June 6th.He doesn’t deserve and Fermin has shown more at both levels he’s played at.

[jj-cf-stl]

I guessed it was more about Crawfords days off. Maybe they have a matchup history? Where’s J, the booth statastician….

[jj-cf-stl]

Timely boo, well done.

[jj-cf-stl]

Gorman has a long-shot at a 4-digit ops in May, he’s at .975
A good line to be flirting with anyway.

[Ratsbuddy]

And the Reds hang on – barely – for a 5-4 win over the Cubs at Wrigley. Madrigal was thrown out at the plate in the last of the 9th – I think – after Suzuki had doubled. Then Bellinger flied out to end it.

White Sox and Brewers still scoreless in the top of the 1st at County Stadium in Milwaukee.

[858booyah]

Only weak excuse is that it’s lefty on righty.

[jj-cf-stl]

Lol, and we know Brandon will get a start a week, it’s just that we’re not looking forward to it.

[gscottar]

Donovan being scratched from the lineup due to neck stiffness. Updated lineup forthcoming.

[Jnevel]

Carlson replaces Donovan. We don’t need any more injuries.

DH M. Carpenter L
LF A. Burleson L
1B P. Goldschmidt R
2B Nolan Gorman L
3B N. Arenado R
C Ivan Herrera R
SS B. Crawford L
RF D. Carlson S
CF Mike Siani L

[Jnevel]

Phillies 2nd in batting average and third in OPS. That doesn’t coincide well with Mikolas who gives up lots of hits. He needs to be at his best tonight.

[Jnevel]

Phillies also number 2 in ERA.

[jj-cf-stl]

Goldy, Arenado and Gorman and a bunch of guys I did not think would start very often.

[Carter Le Grand]

Promised self I would not watch another game ’till Carpenter was shipped back out or we made it to .500

I have mixed emptions

[Jnevel]

2 weak grounders and a hard hit line drive as Nola shuts us down with 7 pitches.

[Jnevel]

Miles looked pretty sharp in the first. Missed up a few times. Some good late movement on several great pitches. We need him to keep that up through at least 6.

[Jnevel]

Gorman gets called out on strikes on a pitch well outside. No one needs to help Nola.

[jj-cf-stl]

Some doubles are ugly
