Looking like all four series next week are division opponents. Padres executing the bullpen game pretty easily.

If you’re watching Cardinals/Padres, I know you’re loving more Jessica Mendoza this week. Just can’t get enough.

The Cubs got a ring in their run. That was the goal. They did it. Now the run is over.

Later, Cubs. If the Cardinals win, it’ll be 1vs5, 2vs6 in both leagues. Regardless, I’ll be rooting for the 1s and 2s, and may the best teams win.

STFU Bote.

Lead off double. On ESPN. Weird.

Contreras cannot help himself from being a hothead.

Sox stayed overnight in California. They just landed, so maybe tomorrow they’ll check him out.

I don’t know, but stop signing guys that have been suspended for PEDs while in the union. I like Benintendi. Calhoun would be interesting to trade for. Vaughn and Abreu should be DH/1B pretty much all season.

2-0 Marlins, 7th inning Hope this leads to the other 2-0 Marlins.

Rodon should be non-tendered regardless. Can’t trust him in any role, and there are better pitchers than him anyway. He can go to Pittsburgh, Colorado, or Baltimore. I like the Odorizzi idea for free agency.

They’ll give this staff another year.

Tatis 3-run hr just for fun

You’re right. Knee jerk was a poor choice of words. The planned quick hook is what I meant.

If any pitcher throws 100+ and has never been under the knife, I just assume he’ll miss a year at some point. This is just an inevitability.

It is hindsight, but Dunning should have been allowed to go three innings or give up three runs- whichever came first. I just think the knee jerk move that did work for the first inning, bit them in the end. You have to try to make postseason games as close to regular season games, even though they clearly are more urgent. The rest of the pen saw that move in the first, and all of their heads started swimming about when their time was coming.

Exactly. Cardinals always have a horseshoe up their asses. But they are a good organization.

In hindsight, you have to stick with your starter. If you lose, oh well. Pulling the plug early usually gets you in trouble.

Learning experience. Fire Renteria. Keep making good roster moves. 2021 and beyond will be better.
