Bum back Bam Bam in LF, KB in CF and Zobrist in RF

So long as Lester doesn't let the ball leave in the infield, nothing to fret about here

Edit: Zobrist scratched with neck stiffness, so Happ in CF and KB in RF

Speaking TJS....White Sox phenom Michael Kopech has a "significant" UCL tear and will likely have TJS and miss all of 2019.  That sucks.

Where do you find peripheral numbers for pitchers in the minor leagues? I'm just curious because I see them mentioned in articles all the time.

doubt lester will be returning at this point...

we may see a j.garcia debut when they decide to re-start the game.

Just heard Michael Kopech has a torn UCL, will miss all of 2019. Odd that he was in so many rain delay games and brought him back after a longer delay his next to last time out. Last outing was bad w drop in velocity. Not a Sox fan but still sad.

i hope this game goes 20 innings once they re-start it...i wanna see the sun come up over DC

7pm EST game (6pm central) tomorrow, btw.

These long delays, even if the game is ultimately postponed, must be hell on players--especially the road team. Sitting around for 3 hours to hear whether you have to go back to work at midnight sounds awful. Do they do team movie time? Charades? Video games? Naps?

    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.

    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.
