The thing is...with the way that kids forget things all the time, it's easy to insist that they just misplaced the appendage when they were focused on their Pokemons Go and Leagues of Minecraft. That said, I am not willing to admit "in the mix" at this point. Last season was okay until the wheels came off in the second half. And then the rims went. The axles snapped. The oxen got dysentery and died. Ervin died of cholera. The ferry that we hired to take us across the river sunk and Phil drowned. It was a rough year. We did shoot a lot of bison.

His natural food source is the soft, pink flesh of his enemies. He will have his fill of that the next time he faces the Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argonath Diver Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 This season continues to be the least compelling season of Cardinals baseball since the Lankford Era for me. I don't think we have much of a chance for a wild card spot, nor am I all that keen on our mid-to-long-term future. I have a hard time watching games when I fully expect the bullpen to blow any lead. (ps, our bullpen is now 0-9 in its last nine decisions. Whoof.) Among a slew of other issues. At least the Cubs are under-performing as well. Though I fully expect them to go about 40-15 soon enough.

DMC Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Grrr...By my drunken count the Yanks are now 11-13 in games decided by 2 runs or less. 7 of those losses have come since May 29 (17 games played, 8 total losses, only 1 in of the sort in the timeframe). This. Is. Frustrating. So, those mad about Yank fans cluttering the thread - rejoice! Anyway, just skimmed the last page, but I think exit velocity, at least for those at the elite levels, is a reliable indicator that helps explain why certain hitters have consistently and disproportionately high BABIPs.

It's honestly like those rumors of Safeco (which will be renamed after the 2018 season since I guess Safeco/Liberty Mutual have decided not to re-up their naming rights deal) being built on a Native American burial ground, and as a result the team is cursed, are true, because literally every time they get some momentum and win some games, the cruel hand of fate swoops in and reminds us not to feel any hope by injuring someone. Still a fun team to watch, I love our young outfield, and Haniger alone was worth getting rid of Taijaun Walker, as much as I liked the kid. And Gamel and Heredia have both put up 1.5 WAR each. Even Dyson had put up 2 WAR. With Haniger's 2.3 WAR, that's a 7 WAR outfield. Pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how come they didn't go with Warren to close out the game? Was there a reason mentioned or was Girardi just being weird? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as you probably know by now Warren (shoulder inflammation) is on the DL. Just hoping Sanchez (abductor) and Hicks (achilles) don't follow him - the lineup tonight is ugly. Judge has already homered, gonna probably need a couple more from him because Severino picked the worst time to give up 4 runs for the first time since May 1. Chapman pitched in Trenton tonight - 0.2 innings, 2 walks, 2 strikeouts, and 1 run on two wild pitches. He was supposed to join the Yanks on Sunday if his outing went fine. Not sure if that qualifies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
