I guess i missed that 1tough. I dont think ive ever seen him at their usual get togethers but that is great, he def deserved it. Thanks for letting me know.
I think team hofs are def different than regular hall. I dont have a problem with fan favorites getting in. Someone mentioned taguchi, my son would second that in a hearbeat. Id have zero problem with eckstein, herr, big george, or oberkfell. You should be able to have fun with the team hall,no one really cares what their stats were.
Side story, just saw where ben shelton hit a 158 mph serve at the us open. Thats crazy when you think of how fast baseballs go off the bats and they arent near that fast.
Well bling they were going to playoffs every year almost with no realistic of winning it all. So by your definition they had a winning culture. Enough fans finally figured out what i already knew, that that wasnt a winning culture. It was a culture of just getting by enough to fill the seats.
Well bling you must have been happy a few years ago whrn we were competing, grabbing low hanging fruit and hoping for a wild card birth. Fine for some, but not for me. I believe you play to win it all or none. No half measures.
A winning culture is nice but if it produces no championships then its really for nothing. The braves were once like that but they only won one.
The bullpen is what is it and has been the whole season. Some of the guys were great early but have struggled as the season has gone on. The team has brought some new players in with some success but with a lot of failure. Some of the newer players from the minors that are starters will eventually become relievers, hopefully good ones. Trusting in the process is the best strategy long term. Getting riled up over something thats been an issue all season isnt really worth it.
I thought both those guys were two of our better picks far as position players go so glad to see they did well.
Former cardinal general manager Joe Mcdonald died yesterday i believe. The cardinals won the 82 title under him.
To be honest i think mlb as a whole has been avg this year. Very few teams stand out and the ones that do recordwise have lots of issues. If the brewers ever want to win a world series, this year is their chance.
Well i was wrong about the cardinals far as won games go. I expected low 70s total, maybe less if a lot of injuries. They have exceeded that. But as far as general talent goes, i was about right. I feel the team won more games that they prob should have lost vs losing more games than they should have won. Yea we blew a lot but i knew we had a suspect relief core so thats not a surprise. I dont see us passing arizona which is the 3rd wild card right now. Could happen but i dont see it. Personally i would rather they dont, still lots of work to do with this team before they are ready for prime time.
I dont think pujols struggled too much in st louis. Quite a few others hit pretty good as well. Maybe refine your hitting for the ballpark you hit most in. Personally i wish they would move the fences back 25 more feet. A homerun should be an accomplushment and maybe we would invest in more speedy guys who plug the gaps.
I wasnt able to watch the game but heard about the umpire incident from my son today. The umpire should be suspended and fined. He cited unwritten rules. Its also an unwritten rule for no bat flips, showing up pitchers but we see that all the time anymore. I guess the batter called it out but maybe he should have told the batter that its the ball he should be concentrating on, not the guys hat. I guess you can see why guys cant hut anymore, they focus on the wrong stuff.
Well im def glad they sent crooks down. Not anything against him but 4 catchers is too much regardless of anything else. I agree with some that herrera shouldnt catch anymore. Give bernal his full shot.
I disagree wih the misses thing. I think you would find out more about your drafting skills by comparing the players you didnt take vs the subsequent player you did. I know sometimes there are specific and different reasons for taking this player over another, its not always best available but even then, that can tell you that maybe you should have. Some players are what they are and no amount of development is gonna change anything but you can learn to draft better.
Well kind of disappointing. While the pirates record is a little better than usual, i dont see much that the cardinals shouldnt have won at least 2 of these games at home even if the cardinals have issues themselves. On to face the dodgers, the dodgers offense is struggling so who knows what will happen.
Cardinals have had some chances. Still down 3-0. Still a long way to go though. Cardinals have made an error but pittsburghs defense looks just terrible even when making the plays. It just seems like there are a couple of big errors coming that will help the cardinals.
Pretty pathetic when you get hit by one of your own players batted balls when you can clearly see it coming
Cardinals up 3to 1here in 8th. The one isnt a surprise, pirates almost always suck against catdinals, i figured we might have more runs though. Anything less than a sweep of the pirates this weekend would be a disappountment.
Kittredge looks kind of amusing out there. He doesnt look like closer stuff to me. Also doesnt really have any pitching form.
