    Atta-boy Carp. Twice now he’s tried to start a rally.

    The pen will be getting worn down because of all the short starts. Especially a 34 year old guy.

    I think it’s more just 3 guys who are worn down because 80% of our games are super close. The other guys are fresh enough.

    Fresh is good, but effective’s better.

    Fair enough J. At least we are getting a large pre-deadline IP from them. Who knows where they spend their second half.

    Fermin has to play the outfield now. No other options.

    Well, no other reasonable options. I can’t remember Fermin playing much outfield in Memphis.

    Donovan gives us a chance with the 1 out double.

    Man alive…Herrera hit it right on the screws, but right at the LF’er.

    Well people, that just about does it. Not going to win a home series from the lowly Rockies. Time for managementto be seriously discussing sell options. Wait ‘til next year.

    Pitiful, just pitiful! They tried everything they could to give it to us and we still can’t win!

    That’s, that…Meanwhile, the Reds win their 7th in a row and move into 2nd place in the NLC with a 4-3 W over the Cubs.

    Three observations. It won’t happen, but when Contreras gets back in the lineup, neither Goldschmidt or Arenado should bat higher than #6 in the lineup against RHP. Second, be careful about taking Burleson out of a close game with the lead late when he could bat again in a pressure situation late. Burly’s not that bad defensively and he’s a helluva a threat at the plate. And Roycroft is pitching his way into some high leverage relief opportunities.

    Well, the Cardinals managed only 3 RBI’s in today’s game and Goldschmidt and Arenado were responsible for 2 of them, Shady.

    Losing 2 of 3 at home to the Rockies, we deserve last place. If it goes to 3 of 4 tomorrow, just bulldoze Busch into the river.

    Lol. It’s just how mediocre teams go. They can be up for a week and then follow it up with a losing stretch that exceeds the short winning streak. They are what we thought they were.

    Yep we’ve crumpled again! I say trade anyone we can get a decent prospect for and move on! Anyone we put at 1st and 3rd can do as well as what we have there now! I know losing Helsley will hurt and I don’t like it but he would be our biggest chip! I’d trade Gray too if we got a top 25 prospect! We need to cut bait and move on!

    Dismal looking loss with the bats managing only 2 hits against a SP’er with and ERA a little under 6.00, but the worst part is, as Steve60 mentioned, the Rockies played like the lousy team that they are and handed the Cardinals 4 unearned runs and we still couldn’t walk away with a W.

    With the Pirates and Reds winning, the Cardinals are once again in last place.

    I think we can maintain last place with a bunch of youngsters! Let’s get busy finding out!

    Hated it from the first time I walked in. Stopped walking for a moment to take a look around and within seconds some smart azz usher came up and told me to keep moving. It wasn’t crowded and I wasn’t blocking anyone. As soon as you leave your seats and walk to the concession area, you are done watching baseball. You are trapped like a rat in their other money making adventures, souvenirs etc. I used to go to 1 game per series on the homestands. Not anymore.

    Yeah, it’s horrible. Less than zero character or flavor. Too many drawbacks to mention here, but a couple at the top of the list are that the music blaring from the PA system between innings is not only loud enough to give a woodpecker a headache, but is also of the variety that would make one wish he were never born with ears…The seat police are everywhere and seem to be intent on being as inhospitable as is allowed by law. In my view the entire experience is not anything close to what I would call a pleasant one.
