When you need 7 runs to win….
Yah, I’m a broken record, but there is a definite line there at allowing 6 runs or more, and when we do, we lose (1-19 W/L).
5 runs allowed or less? 40-15 W/L
It’s feels like we are wasting our position players efforts.
And our ugly middle relief issues return. Disappointing. 3 IP starts can lead to this.
I agree GS, Flaherty to the IL seems likely. Woodford is stretched out.Coming into today, Wittgren has faced 40 June (2022) batters, allowing a 60 ops+.

-100 Sosa, 5
-100 Herrera, 7Goldy’s gone off again with Donovan and Arenado as his support group.
Carlson with a nice two weeks and regardless of Yepez D, he still hits, classic DH.
Gorman, Bader and Edman holding par and being competitive. Shame to lose O’Neill’s June of 150 ops+, but Nootbaar is filling in nicely in a sss.
Same bottom five, I’ll leave it at that.

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere.
Yep, I stumped for Chafin and Tyler Anderson all winter, but our club wouldn’t cough up 6.5mil and 8.5mil on one year deals. Instead they threw 44mil at Mutz and another 6 or 7mil on DH’s to block Yepez.

And that’s exactly what Marmol has penciled in tonight. Well done Cards 667. I’ve noticed your lineup construction is frequently spot on.
Or you could look at his actual results when pitching on zero days rest and realize over those 26 games “horrid” is an apt description.
No reason to guess, we count everything in baseball.
When Yepez sits vs a RHP, and AP starts, it’s a travesty. Yepez is a 145 ops+ vs righties. Our only player better this season is Goldy. Pujols is a 46, bottom of the barrel.
We know Yepez wasn’t hurt because he had a pinch hit HR. As horrible as we’ve been pitching, we can not afford to give away outs at the expense of our second best bat vs righties.
Herrera sighting!
Outfield intact, Edman / Donovan up the middle.
Yepez, Gorman, Sosa and Knizner bench.The lineups are fine with me as is. I like Marmols lineups better than Schildts, but with Yepez, Gorman and Donovan debuting, Marmol has more to work with.
There is the little thing of Bader behind Yadi that annoys me but Yadi gets on so very little it rarely comes into play.

Since May 1st the lineup is averaging 5.21 RS/G.Knizner needed tonight, couple walks and double. Hopefully a springboard.
Thompson couldn’t have been better, low leverage or not. 9 up 9 down with 4 K’s. How good would it be to have 4 relievers we could count on.
Edman is a better SS than PDJ, much better. We can put that Edman at SS discussion to rest imo, hes outstanding there just like 2B.
