Now that’s quite the lineup there. Here’s to hoping Lynn throws a shutout as that’s about the only way we are going to win this one.

We just HAVE to avoid a sweep in this series. If we get swept, we may as well try and improve the roster for next year.
Pirates just tied Milwaukee 2-2 in the bottom of the 9th. Milwaukee is in a tail spin and the Cubs are hot. By this time next week the Cubs will probably have a 3-4 game lead. The NL Central is history folks.

Brian,
Any scuttlebutt being tossed around in the Big Apple about Stanton? He yanked #30 today.r/Rat
Stanton #30 today. He is on a homer hot streak. This one in the bottom of the 1st. Who knows, might be another one before the day is out. Would love to see those at Busch!

What do you posters think about the Cubs at this point? Are they about to make their run? I’ve been waiting for this all season from them. They have now won five in a row? I don’t think we can afford another sweep at Wrigley this coming weekend but its starting to look like a definite possibility.
It would sure help if we can steal one from DeGrom and the Mets tonight. Me and Whitey Herdog will be tuned in.

Brian,
Have you tested the vibe in New York yet regarding Stanton? From looking at his career stats it appears if he can ever play in 150+ games he could hit 40-45 dingers, maybe more. This year he has appeared in 90 of the Marlins 91 games and is on pace for 50+ homeruns.I’d sure like to see him in our lineup. As gscottar says, in a few years and with the new billion dollar TV deal looming, Stanton’s contract might not be all that bad.

The way Fowler catches flyballs it was pretty much inevitable that he would drop one. Nowadays outfielders have to make the “cool” catch instead of the way catching flyballs was taught a generation or two ago.
Same way with SOOOOOO many runners not running to 1stbase, but just sort of jogging once they figure they will be out.
At times baseball is sickening these days.

Lets wait until later in the year until we give DeJong and everyday job. Remember Brian Jordan in 1992? Everybody thought he was great when he was hot early, but he ended up hitting .227.
Besides, in my mind, DeJong is not a TRUE EVERYDAY shortstop.

Piscotty, Grichuk, and Weaver for Stanton.
There’s your offer Miami. Now send Stanton to the Big Apple asap.

Brian,
I respect your opinion so I am wondering what you think the chances are that the Redbirds trade for Stanton? All you usually get on threads like this are opinions.
Anyway, what are the odds, more or less than a 50% chance? I am going to assume about a 10% chance myself.
r/Rat
Inconsistency is our problem. You cant depend on anybody. Cecil coughs it up with some bad pitches. DeJong could have made that play if he would have been an everyday SS.
Cubs are about to go on their first run of the season as they sweep Baltimore. Mets seem to be playing better so we will probably lose 3 of 4 in New York. Then most likely another sweep at the hands of the Cubs.
By late next Sunday night we might very well be in the Sell mode.

High ERA, WHIP not very good, too many walks, too many homeruns, all of this in 2017. Career stats are good but not great. In my mind this is a very questionable move by the Cubs. Guess time will tell how it works out.
Glad the game is over and we can get back to the business of baseball now.
Any chance Miami starts to shed payroll now that the ASG is over with? Stanton to St. Louis would be fine with me.
And I didn’t know the practice of giving home field advantage in the World Series to the league that wins the ASG is now over? When did that stop?
Forsch31,
A couple of years ago I would have thought you were crazy if you had said that. Now I totally agree. I just don’t see what good he is doing. Poor defense, low average, that doesn’t cut it. But then again, everybody has a bad year so maybe he can right the ship either in the 2nd half or 2018.

Update: 10-0 Pittsburgh heading to the bottom of the 1st.
And I just saw where the Brewers hit the Yankees with a four spot in the first. 4-0 Milwaukee in the 2nd.
Hope we get out of the top of the 1st unscathed against the Mets.
I saw that Logan. AND the Pirates are still batting.
Man, them Flubs aint what they are last year. They might eventually get it together but they are about to be two games UNDER .500 at the All Star Break.

How much longer are the Cardinals going to tolerate Martinez and his antics if he doesn’t start to pitch better? That goofing around all the time is all well and good – if you are performing and the team is doing well. But that act gets old in a hurry if things aren’t going well. Case in point, Brandon Phillips and the Reds.
r/Rat
Voit having a good game so far. He has homered and doubled, knocking in three runs, and the Redbirds lead 3-2 in the 5th.
Milwaukee leading the Cubs 5-0 in the 3rd at Wrigley in a makeup game.
r/Rat
Well, two errors by the Cardinals (Carpenter and Voit) and two homeruns by Stanton and this one is just about over.
6-0 Miami in the top of the 2nd. I tell ya, watching this team play is about sickening anymore. Carpenter cant hit and he cant play defense. Although it was sort of a tough hop on the ball hit to him.
