That’s a kick to the balls…. 1 out for qualifying for the W

They battled.... not much else to say. This BP is a joke, starting pitching has dug some deep holes early, however it wouldn't matter if the starters were given the team QS's, if you don't have a 4 run lead, at minimum, there is 1-2 guys that would have the ability to hold and close.... that's being generous. Get Culpeper up, Jeffers back and hope Royce is still playable at that point and they could be entertaining.

Not so sure guys with the cardinal hats are looking for a rally, just a thought.

If only they could figure out how to build the easiest part of a team we might have 5-6 more wins which would have them setting around.500. …. although we are not done dancing yet.

Well that just about ended any comeback hopes, trying to pull a ball about a foot off the plate.

Yep, BP’s are easy to piece together.

We were robbed…. these cash consideration acquisitions never materialize. Just like keeping Culpepper in the minors they will keep running him out.

Pretty sure there was a thread promoting sending him down…. he is near the bottom of this teams issues. Like Preliepp, Bradley let him play and try to figure it out, you will know by the end of the season if these are guys that will be part of the future.

And he will come back to earth. That will definitely define if he’s part of the team moving forward.

I was skeptical of Lewis getting his sh** together at AAA, he definitely has more confidence and has been smoking the ball and doesn’t appear to be mopey from the move to first, kudos to him…. now get Cullpepper up, watching Arcia and Gray is frustrating.

And there are Cardinal fans there…..

I believe that they need to keep going with Matthews, he has the arsenal to be a serviceable starter. There's two ways for him to get there, better command of the strike zone or an uptick in velocity. I don't have the numbers/data, but it seems when he is pitching effectively he is hitting 97-98, when he's getting torched his four seamer seems to be in the 94-95 range, huge difference in missing bats if he could maintain the higher velocity, it makes his offspeed pitches more effective. If he's just filling the strike zone with 94 mph fastballs he will continue to struggle unless he develops better command. Big year for him, hopefully he takes the next step.

Especially if there’s a spot for them to play We currently have 3, maybe 4 underperforming 30 y.o. plus utility players that could be swapped out.

You might get get me to make the drive over with 4 tickets for $40 and 16 beer tickets.
