Getting twinkied to death by 50 year old Joe Mauer - about doubled his season RBI total and its only the fourth inning.

Happy to chip in. Don't really care where the ticket takes him as long as it's out of Chicago. With Baez and Bryant out today, I really don't get starting Giminez and his sub-.400 OPS, particularly with Contreras heating up. Another Joe head-scratcher.

I wonder if a catcher who is good at framing and handling pitchers is on the deadline list. That seems to be what Gimenez is supposed to do, but they need someone who can hold his own at the dish a little too. Maybe something between what Revera and Avila offered last year. It's obviously a pretty minor, niche need--but it might be the only need on the team right now aside from healthy starting pitchers.

ZOBRIST! HR!

playing crap teams is neat.

cubs win!

...also, justin wilson seems to have regressed...4 out of his last 5 outings have resulted in runs. he was on a nice roll of great outings before this started. morrow picks up the cheapest of all saves with 1 pitch thrown to 1 batter for 1 out to protect a 4 run lead.

Dex is really struggling in STL -- in June, he is hitting .130 with a .383 OPS.  For the year, .273 OBP & .548 OPS with only 3 SB (and 2 CS).  His BA has been below .200 since April 17.  His last HR was (sob) the walk-off winner against the Cubs on May 6.  On the plus side, since Heyward returned from the concussion he suffered on that play, his BA has climbed from .227 to .281 and his OPS has gone from .665 to .775.

I feel sorry for Dex. He is stuck in St. Louis and cant hit a lick anymore. His bank account looks fine though.

JHey for June: 306/346/500 - 846 OPS. 10 doubles, 3 homers, including a walk off grand slam.  Previous best month as a Cub was Sept/Oct last year with a 798 OPS.  Currently slugging 434 on the year, higher than both Rizzo (422) and Happ (432)

    STL traded away a lot of minor league talent that went on to do nothing in the arenado + goldschmidt trades.  neither guy blocked any of their minor league talent in the pipeline, too.  that's ideal places to add talent.

    Natural cycle of baseball. Pitching makes adjustments in approach to counter a hot young rookie. Now it’s time for Busch and his coaches to counter those adjustments. Busch is very good and will figure it out, I think sooner than later.

    In 2020, the pandemic year and the year before they acquired Arenado, the Cardinals finished second and were a playoff team. Of the 12 batters with 100 plate appearances, 8 of them were home grown. Every member of the starting rotation (if you include Wainwright) and all but one of the significant relievers were home grown. While there have been a relative handful of very good trades interspersed which have been mentioned, player development had been their predominant pattern for decades - ever since I became an aware fan in the ‘70’s

    The Arenado deal was not a deal made out of dire need or desperation. It was a splashy, headline making deal for a perennial playoff team intended to be the one piece that brought the Cardinals from a very good team to a World Series contender. They have continued to wheel and deal and have been in a slide ever since. I stand by my supposition that that deal marked a notable turning point within the organization. They broke what had been a very successful formula for a very long time.

    busch is having a really intense k-filled mini slump.  he deserves better after coming back to wrigley after that hot road trip.

    i know alzolay isn't having a great time right now, but i trust hector "ball 4" neris even less than alzolay based on what i've seen coming out of their arms.

  • azbobbop (view)

    Neris reminds me of Don “Full Pack” Stanhouse.

  • Eric S (view)

    Happ, Busch, Dansby and Madrigal have a combined 25 runners left on base through 7 innings, with Busch accounting for 9 of those.  Seems like a lot.

    PCA finally gets a hit!  2r HR!!!

  • Charlie (view)

    They certainly could be coupled. It could also be the case that a team needs good players at the heart of the team and if they are not coming from one source (development) they have to be sought out elsewhere. I don't see the evidence needed to infer the cause.

    bases loaded for the cubs, 0 out...and no runs score.

    cubbery.
