Arenado hit it hard at least. Far better than getting his 3rd K. Need Matz to get through another inning – unscathed this time.
Goldie slows down for only a double this time. Someone else besides him is going to have to earn a Paul batted in.
Euro, Matz gets ahead of lots of hitters. And then he throws pitch after pitch out of the zone hoping they’ll chase and they usually don’t and that runs up his pitch count.
All of our minor league clubs won today as well. Just laying the groundwork for the Senior Circuit guys.
2 singles, a double, and 2 homers through our first 3 innings. Pretty good. Too bad sequencing held us to just the 2 runs. Matz will just have to keep taking care of business.
We need a lineup of all Goldschmidt’s tonight! He’s going to be gunning for Mark Whiten’s Cardinals record.
Yeah Cards667, O’Neill is tough to like. He goes into long cold spells, his body language often looks like he doesn’t care, and he swings and misses at sliders again and again and again. But maybe tonight he’s going to turn back the clock and look like confident Tyler from 2019.
I’ve noticed we’re seeing a ton of sliders and read that slider useage is up in general across the league. But man do we see a lot of them.
You may be right or wrong 1TD. I’m not sure. The computer models basically say it doesn’t matter as long as your 5 best hitters hit in the top 5. But computers don’t really know the first thing about playing actual real baseball so I think there’s some truth both ways. My belief is that you never really know what the exact situation is going to be at any point in the game so the randomness just is always going to throw any plan you had at the beginning out of whack and so you just need to be flexible and adapt. And that’s one thing I love about this year’s version of the team – there’s tons of flexibility built in. But I understand the other side of the argument that some people really like structure and consistency and having lots of moving parts takes away from their focus. So for some it’s good and others it’s bad. But tonight it just isn’t going to matter. We will win regardless.
TexasCard – it doesn’t matter what the lineup is tonight. We’re winning either way. Besides, lineup’s don’t make a lot of difference as long as your best hitters hit more.
He was definitely # 1 on TCN and MLB.com. I’m not sure about everywhere else. But maybe since he’s only 24, the better way to say it Bling is that he hasn’t lived up to it yet. But he may still get there. At least that’s the positive approach for tonight! After all, Nootbaar is older and I don’t see anyone thinking that he has no more growth in him yet. We’d be foolish to be too hard on Dylan.
Carlson was our number 1 about the same time that Arozarena was like number 12. And honestly, I’m still not sure which will be better. Arozarena has been worth 1.5 more WAR than Carlson over the past 2 seasons total so call it one win per season better at best. But Arozarena is now 30 and Carlson is just 24. Carlson is still one of the youngest outfielders in baseball.
