Cardinals down 2-0 after 1
Dinner today will be a Huaraches, which is carne asada, queso fresco, cilantro, onion & avocado on fried masa dough. Seasoned with squeezed lime and green salsa.
PDJ’s $6 million salary this year shouldn’t be too sizable to force his way into the lineup, nor should his $9 million salary next year. It’s not like paying Carpenter $18 million per year, at all.
Knizner is playing better than Yadi and that aren’t going to trade him with this being Yadi’s final year.
I would presume they told Yadi when he signed his contract that Knizner will be playing much more than our backups have in prior years.
I would guess McGreevy & Gracefo will get promoted somewhere between their 5th & 10th starts. They’ve had three so far.
Agreed. Farm raised 🦐 is not the answer.
Let’s see if our bullpen can keep us in the game. Mr Lopez is @ 66 pitches, maybe we can run up his pitch count next inning.
Pugs & CIF are taking this dinner game a little seriously. Any other night, their choices would be hands down winners. Pugs threw down the gauntlet with SMOKED salmon and is backing it up with shrimp cocktail. CIFs rabbit cacciatore sounds amazing. I’ll have to give it to Pugs for adding the shrimp 🍤 cocktail to a wonderful entree.
I am going to settle with pepperoni pizza and martinis.
As for lineup construction, if Marmol was chosen because he is going to use stats, he needs to start paying attention to them and batting Edman at lead off and Carlson further down in the order while they are both in their respective streaks.
Coming into tonight, he’s had 5 plate appearances in three weeks. Hard to say he’s been “overmatched all year” when all year consists of 5 PAs.
Pugs, I believe Winn is a little too far away from the majors right now. Plus, they would have to add him to the 40 man and remove someone else.
Yes, with PDJ struggling, they need to start Sosa a couple of times per week.
And yes, with Carlson struggling and Edman hot, they need to be flipped in the order. Also need to start giving Nootbaar some starts.
Yes, it is time to flip Edman & Carlson in the order.
Dinner tonight was Arroz con Mariscos (Peruvian seafood paella), Choros a la Chalaca (steamed mussels in spicy lime sauce with onions, tomato & cilantro) and beef & chicken empanadas
Yes, that is my issue with MLB, they reward teams that act to the detriment of the league and cry poverty to line their pockets rather than reward teams who punch above their weight.
St. Louis’ market size did not grow, they are still around 20th out of 30 teams. What changed is their revenue from their local TV deal.
Oakland is in the fifth largest market, and they restored revenue sharing for them after finally phasing it out a couple of years ago. It’s disgusting.
I have not heard of changes to the formula, but allegedly, it looks at market size, record and revenue.
