I still like to see Eddie in lineup every day. Although he’s been mired in a batting slump, he still places 6th in the NL in runs scored. I believe his bat will improve. When he’s seeing it well he’s a way above average hitter and you need his near flawless glove and can always use the SB threat he provides. Call me crazy, but I think he’s a key component of this Redbird ballclub.
I was wondering the same thing. Pretty certain he’ll share some DH time with AP. He makes me skittish when he has a glove on his left hand…
Well, even though I hate off days, I’m sure our favorite team can use a break after sweeping the Yankees in the three games that must have felt like they were being played in purgatory. I went to the night game on Fri. and was miserable in the jungle-like humidity. I sure was glad to see Carpenter tap out for the final out in the visitor half of the 9th so that the thing didn’t go to bonus baseball in extras. I was actually thinking that the blasphemous ghost runner rule may not be so bad of an idea after all if it did indeed go to extras. No, not really!
You’re not joking. My son and I went to the game on Fri. night. Cardinals out and out stole that ballgame after being out hit 10-5. Yankees had plenty of chances. You could seen Boones’ frustrations today when he got the heave-ho.
Dem dang Dodgers are looking pretty good. Bring ’em on when the leaves turn brown in the fall! I’m looking for the Redbirds to pick their deep pockets this Oct. GO REDBIRDS!
Just saw Betts make a nice play in RF at Dodger Stadium. He’s pretty good…I’d almost swap out Nootz for Mookie…
Yeah, I did take a look. I just signed up so, it’ll take me a while to learn the ropes. I guess when the next Redbird game starts in Denver on Tues, someone starts a thread for that game? In any event, thanks for the reply, Bling!
Hey Pugs…Thanks for the reply! Heck yeah, I’m interested! I’m just starting to try to navigate this thing, but I should be able to catch on before too long. I used to be on the Cardinal MLB.com game threads for virtually every Redbird ballgame. Were you ever on those? My call sign was Yadi06. At any rate, they were a lot of fun before they shut them down in 2018. Take care, man!
Eddie hasn’t been getting the job done for a couple of weeks now, but I still like him at the top of the order. I’m hoping he’ll come around soon. You have to like his glove and his wheels, and in my estimation his overall baseball acumen is off the charts. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him make a mental mistake on the field of play. I also feel he’s above average in the batter’s box. At any rate, he has to improve his OBP and I think he will before too very long. Let’s hope so. GO REDBIRDS!
Yeah, me too. Hey, I’m new on here. Are the game threads pretty active once the ballgame is underway? I was on the MLB.com forums for approx. 7 year before they shut them down. I sure do miss them.
I look for Arenado to rip it up in Denver. He’s swinging it nicely at the moment and I expect him to ramp it up another notch or two vs. the Rockies. You never know…when they’re done playing 162 games, Nolan could very well be neck and neck with his fellow infield corner team mate over on the right side at 1B for NL MVP honors. He’s certainly capable of going on an extended rampage with both the bat and the nice glove.
GO REDBIRDS!
