He's been 93-95 for awhile now...

Nice play by Robert. Usually you see guys get stuck in the ground and then they lose their focus on the ball, very smooth there.

Byrd vs. Contreras. And Jose was pretty much the best pitcher in baseball taking the mound that night, had a long streak of not losing a game that extended into May, 2006, when he got hurt coming off the mound to cover 1st and hurt his Achilles' tendon in Cincinnati.

Civale?

This is the polar opposite of that early-season series in 2006 when we just completely destroyed the Cardinals....already dreading the Field of Dreams but seems we won't have Central again, so no idea who the logical opponent would be in 2021.

Now we're relegated to hoping and praying for a second game rainout so we don't get swept again in a DH. 2-6 at home, looking easily like 2-7. How do you manage that?

What's embarassing is how Badler was hustling so much (after 3 weeks off) when Anderson took his time and almost gifted them yet another run....NO SENSE OF IMMEDIACY. YET AGAIN, here we are, coming out completely flat as a pancake.

Good question...f'in Renteria sucks ass in managing a team, plain and simple.

Hadn't had a lead in a series since July 26th. Were wiped out by the Twins the following series, never had a lead the entire time.

"This is a great great inning for the Cardinals." Great analysis, Jim Edmonds.

We have no choice but to add pitching this offseason, if we ever want to be a legitimate playoff contender....meaning aspirations to actually win a series rather than just being merely sastified to get there.

Amazing. Yet another 0-2 mistake in this inning already.

MLB Debut for Dylan Carlson...dangerous pitch up in the zone. Got him to expand the strike zone, thankfully. Just get the hell out of this inning, you've already screwed my WHIP rate for the rest of the day, lol.

This is just a ridiculous way to start a day/night doubleheader.

Guess we get BAD/TERRIBLE Giolito today. How many days' rest is he on again?

Of course, Cardinals' broadcast playing the Yelich inside-the-park homer...and then the video where he fell over and just sat down in the first row.

How can there be SO MANY freakin' plays that Jimenez is involved with the LF line netting already?

So much for the theory the Cardinals were just going to be completely out of synch. 0-2 pitches for singles, UGH.

Alternative. Giolito, let's try to get through this first inning with 0-1 runs surrendered. Hate walks leading off the game for the opposition.

Yes, I'm WELL aware of that. Just didn't realize he was outside of the United States until I looked him up, so no ethical debate regardless.

If they were willing to send $8-10 million per year for two years + $1 million buyout, of course he'd be an option. For example, they need a 2B if Profar can't hold the position down...ultimately, they'd like to swap out Myers for Taylor Trammell if everything goes as predicted, or they would have to play Josh Naylor or Olivares everyday in the OF (assuming a Myers trade happens, which is 50/50 at best). How much are we realistically willing to pay Springer or Joc Pederson? It's going to be more or less than $10-12 million per season, yes?

Conversely, he's broken almost every record in baseball for the first 100 games of a big league career, age 20/21 numbers, first MLB SS to hit 30 homers in his first 100 games, first player to record 30 homers and 20 stolen bases in first 100 career games...the only comparable names that are up there are going to be Griffey, Jr. and A-Rod.
