In other words folks……what we got for May/Romero and Nootbaar was pretty much nothing.
More prospects – PROSPECTS – that will more than likely never really amount to anything. Most prospects don’t. Sometimes they turn out to be fair players but that’s about it. If they were projected to be outstanding big leaguers they would never have been traded in the first place.
Like I keep saying…….free agency is our only hope to be in contention in 27 or 28. And in the meantime we will wait for these prospects to develop. Good luck with that.
If it comes down between Burleson or Nootbaar I sure hope and pray it’s Nudie Bar that leaves and not Burleson.
Yep, the Doyers got Skubal.
I bet Liberatore was their 2nd choice if they didn’t get Skubal.
Still wondering about Luis Arraez.
That’s even worse.
I didn’t see the game but I assume our hitters were once again swinging like maniacs, trying to slug it out there instead of just trying to make contact when the situations called for it.
FYI here,
After getting hit alot with the Red Sox this year Wilson Contreras got buzzed up near the head last night at Doyer Stadium. He spun around and went down. Two pitches later he got beaned in the head. The Red Sox took him out of the game after the half inning was over.Nothing happened, no benches cleared, no retaliation.
Not sure I’d want to trade for Paul Skenes right now.
He was ineffective again tonight. His start was in Cincinnati.
I wonder if Tommy John surgery is looming for him?
Once again this team can’t score any runs.
How many games this week did they only score a run or two?
It would help if they had somebody – anybody – that could hit the ball.
Taking a early gander at the Friday out-of-town scoreboard:
The aforementioned Flubs lost to the Yankees today at Wrigley Field. Rosario and Jones homered for the Bronx Bombers. 2-0 Yankers your final.
The Brewers are out west tonight to face the Angels at Anaheim.
Reds and Pirates about to square off at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati.
And in case anyone is wondering, yes indeed today was a CCFF. Cardinals Catfish Fiddlers Friday. Had a couple out at the Amish restaurant north of town that sits on the lake.

If we have the #1 catching prospect in all of MLB I’d be willing to trade him and, of course, get something in return.
And Blaze pops out with the bases loaded and two outs to end the 6th.
Still 0-0 after six.
What really hurt was Winn swinging like a maniac when they had runners at the corners and only one out. Of course he struck out instead of just trying to put the ball in play.
Weather wise all looks clear in the midwest tonight. Which means the Cubs will be in prime position to win another one at Busch.
Me and Whitey Herdog will be on the couch for the first 2-3 innings of the Indians and Reds from Riverfront Stadium.
Later tonight we will tune in to the Seattle Mariners and the Los Angeles Doyers from Doyer Stadium. Boy, the Doyers sure blew one last night.
We won’t get a good return for anyone we trade.
Then whomever we do get we will have to wait another 2-3 years for them to develop.
And in the meantime we will be like the Pirates and Reds have been for years – last place material.
We’ve got enough support players now. All we need is a big bat in the lineup and a frontline starter. And the only way those are going to get here is free agency. And for the record, I never considered Wilson Contreras a big bat in the lineup.
What do we have to sell that anybody would want???
And what on earth would anybody give us for anybody we have???
Before long we will be battling the Reds for last place in the NL Central.
If we aren’t already there, that is.
The storm cell that was in central Missouri has apparently drifted south of the greater metropolitan St. Louis area and will not impact tonight’s game. And according to the Doppler Radar all clear in the midwest about an hour before first pitch.
But, as I’ve said before, when it’s this hot and humid those little popup thunderstorms can occur in a hurry. And trust me, it’s hot and humid out. I know because I just got done jogging outside.

There appears to be a storm cell that is in central Missouri as I am typing this. Hard to tell yet whether it will impact the greater metropolitan St. Louis area later today. Stay tuned for further developments.
And din-din today will be a Subway BMT with lettuce, onions, mayo, mustard, some mashed potatoes, an ice cold Faygo Grape drink, and a big bowl of Turkey Hill Vanilla Bean ice cream. All of this whilst me and Whitey Herdog are on the couch watching the Indians and Reds in Game One of their DH today from Riverfront Stadium.
I doubt the rain delay will last very long.
However, Cleveland is in a rain delay at Cincinnati. From the looks of the Doppler Radar it looks like Riverfront Stadium could be in for quite a bit of wet stuff tonight. They will be fortunate to get that game in.
According to the Doppler Radar there is a small cell about to hit St. Louis in the next hour or so. Not sure how this will impact the game or if it even will.
Stay tuned……
I assume Liberatore is feeling the pressure heading into this one. Let’s hope he can come through and turn in a solid performance.
And meteorological conditions look favorable for this one tonight according to the Doppler Radar. All clear through the midwest. Chicago, however, appears to be getting a big dose of rain and storms as I type this.
Din-din today is a couple of baked potatoes, some Allen Cut Italian Green Beans, an ice cold slushy Mt. Dew, and a big bowl of Turkey Hill Vanilla Bean ice cream.
And I am hungry too. I just took all my trash down to the dump/landfill in Montgomery. It’s about 90 degrees here today and humid and it wore me out loading them up and then throwing them out at the dump. It’s A/C time the rest of the day.
