Well, let’s see. Montgomery’s career with the Redbirds now consists of 11 IP with 9K’s, 3 BB’s and an ERA of, well…nothing!
No question that Eddie needs to get going and that it wouldn’t at all be a bad idea for him to lay down a bunt when he’s scuffling. I continue to maintain that the Cardinals will be successful with him leading off. Redbirds have some winners on this ’22 edition and I believe that Eddie is one of them.
Yeah, I was surprised to see that out of Nootz. What bothered me about the play was that it looked to me like he would have been safe as milk if he would have busted it out of the batter’s box. As for Albert and Tony…Well, one is the great Pujols and the other is TLR… What else can you say?
BW…Ha ha! Possibly. It’s also Fri. night and I’m pretty certain the young guys on here are probably out chasing the cuties. At 64 yrs. I’m getting a bit long in the tooth to party like it’s 1999, but I was actually in attendance for last Fri. night’s Redbird/Yanks game with my 39 yr. old son and we enjoyed the late inning Redbird’s 4-3 come from behind win. Even though it was a night game, man was it hot and I have to say that I certainly had a bit of an excitement/heat hangover the following morning. I just don’t get down the line like I once did…At any rate, enjoy the game, BW! It’s a good one so far.
GO REDBIRDS!
Nice full slate of baseball in MLB tonight. Besides the Redbird’s game, I’ve got my eyes on Phillies/Mets and O’s/Rays. Everyone I talked to here in StL. were beginning to panic when the O’s took 2 of 3 from the Redbirds at Busch Stadium back in mid May. Well, turns out Baltimore may have a pretty solid ballclub as they now stand at 5 games over .500 in a pretty competitive AL East and only a half game back of the last AL WC spot. Earl would be smiling.
Man alive…I just noticed that the Dodgers have now reeled off 10 wins in a row and now have a W/L record of 77-33. That means they could play the remainder of their regular season games at a .500 clip and still win 103 games this year. They have too much money out there in LA…
Bike Mike…I like Nootz too, but what did you think about his AB in which he tapped a soft comebacker to the mound and the pitcher failed to glove it cleanly? I have to say that it looked to me that if he busts it out of the box and down the line, he’s safe at 1B.
BWalton…Yeah, that and a turn in Mil’s. rotation by a LHP. Still though, I saw TO’s AB’s yesterday afternoon and I’d play Donovan in LF and place him almost anywhere in the order before I’d pencil O’Neill into the 2 slot today. Don’t get me wrong, I’m okay with TO in the line-up, just not batting second. And there’s no way Eddie should occupy the 6 slot. Oh well, that’s why I’m keying this in on the sofa in front of the TV. We’ll see what happens…GO REDBIRDS!
O’Neill with an 0 for 4 game with 4 K’s in yesterday’s ballgame and he’s penciled into the 2 slot vs. Milwaukee? I’m not too sure that’s any sort of rational or logical way to make an attempt to set the table for the big kids with the bats hitting behind him. Maybe it’s a typo? And oh…Eddie in the 6 slot? In any event, not even I could have made this stuff up.
It’s a long ago and firmly establised consensus among all quality gypsy fortune tellers that it is utterly foolish to make any predictions whatsover concerning baseball, and the simple reason for this is that ‘youneverknow’… Besides, if I knew what was going to happen, I wouldn’t bother watching.
I’ve seen Cabrerra get touched up a time or two, but I can’t recall seeing him take a beating like he endured today. Man alive…4 ER’s on 4 hits of which 2 were HR’s without recording a solitary out. Ferdie “The Fight Doctor” Pacheco couldn’t have helped him today.
Hey Steve…Ha ha! Man, you’re going back to Torre/Jorgenson. Joe got a little better when Mariano showed up…
Hey, 64…Haha! Yeah, Molina’s not going to beat out an IF hit unless the entire opposing IF simutaneously suffers a case of spontaneous combustion. I once saw him attempt to score from 1B on a hit laced into the gap by Aaron Miles vs. the Phillies. Rarely have I heard the standing packed house so loud as old “Jetcalves” was motoring around 3B and heading toward HP. He was out, but it was fun to behold!
