Yoan having great ABs against Clevinger tonight.

Cordell probably throws out Reyes by 6 feet though.

It would have been a great play if he came up with it, it wasn't hit that far away from him but it was just a rocket off the bat.

So substract one of his RBI's and he is still +100. #gregmath

Cease's fastball is great tonight, but he is getting underneath the slider too much.

You are basing this on a sample size of 11 innings, this is just statistical noise.

That's probably just a statistical oddity, the sample size is miniscule. 1st inning ERA is the highest across baseball IIRC, but not by that much..

I really hope the changes Collins made stick because by god do we need someone who knows the strike zone on this team.

You'd think Cease gave up 7 runs in the first

Yeah the lack of courage and creativity irks me the most. The Cardinals always give guys who produced in the upper minors extensive looks even when they are competing . That’s how they ended up with guys who had some good years in the majors like Allen Craig, Jose Martinez Paul Dejong and Matt Adams.

Aquino was also kinda bad in his last two minor league seasons. I don't think you can fault them/or any other team for not jumping at the chance to sign a guy who had a .700ish OPS in his last two seasons. He never had much prospect pedigree either.

How. many of his errant throws would be forgotten if we had a competent 1B though?

Dickerson has averaged an OPS+ north of 120 the last three years, to me he is the ideal candidate.

It's easy! Forum poster fathom can do it in his sleep!

lol How do you come up with this stuff? ?

Please reserve terminology like mental midgets for the major league game threads. Thank you.

Stealing 3rd base with two outs with your best hitter up from a guy that will score on any single is a pretty great idea.

People on WSI were always mad about the Sox being to reliant on the long ball, they must be elated. ?

Matt Skole the first bat off the bench, sporting a .222./295./259 line, I think at this point they are trolling us.

They should walk Freeman

Or does it? ?

I don’t know, this is entering some weird conspiracy theory territory. I don’t doubt that people in this org can be petty, but that is quite the stretch.

Jay was slow before the injury. Check out his statcast numbers, he had a lower sprint speed than Abreu last year.

To spin signing Gio and Moncada to extensions into something negative is quite the feat, keep up the good work!
