I never feel good about a Cardinals series....NEVER!

[wildcat83]

I never feel good about a Cardinals series....NEVER!

 

Usually how I feel too. Actually bet on Brewers today. Feeling good about Davies getting it turned around. Brewers in a pitchers duel, 2-1.

[wibadgers23]

Would be thrilled to come out of this series 2-2.

[adambr2]

Aguilar doesn't have a hit since April 11th and hasn't reached base since April 19th. I know he hasn't had regular playing time but he can't be far from playing himself out of a job.

[yfinn6]

Nice Villar. That was crushed.

 

I had a good feeling about this inning after Davies' hit.

[topper09er]

That was a bomb, if Shaw is the Mayor, Villar is at least on the town council of ding dong city

[adambr2]

Walked away figuring the inning was over when Davies comes up with 2 out, and wouldn't you know he gets in and Villar goes deep!

[yfinn6]

Looked like Broxton landed rough, but good catch. He had a long ways to go.

[adambr2]

Broxton has been really frustrating this year at the plate. Last year when he was off, he was just off, and when he was on, he was on. This year, he'll get you thinking he's finally starting to break out of it again and literally the same or next day it'll be right back to square one.

[homer]

Another lead...hope this holds up.

[adambr2]

Another lead...hope this holds up.

 

25 out of 27 games. Pretty remarkable in my opinion.

[adambr2]

I'll find it highly enjoyable in 2 years watching the Cardinals get half the production out of their 36 year old catcher as we'll get out of both of ours for 20 times the price of both combined.

[yfinn6]

Man, they're really worried about Piscotty stealing 2nd here.

[adambr2]

For some reason I've really come to hate Kolten Wong. No idea why.

[yfinn6]

That looked absolutely terrible for Pina.

[adambr2]

That looked absolutely terrible for Pina.

 

He ok? Just watching on Gameday .

[yfinn6]

That looked absolutely terrible for Pina.

 

He ok? Just watching on Gameday .

 

Yeah. He caught one flush in a bad area.

[wildcat83]

Pina now hitting .400 ..... In MAY.

[adambr2]

Getting it done with 2 out tonight.

[MrTPlush]

Pina now hitting .400 ..... In MAY.

 

And he has the amount of ABs like it is still mid April. Great start, but still small sample warning.

[MrTPlush]

Glad Villar has turned it around.

[yfinn6]

Glad Villar has turned it around.

 

Definitely.

[MrTPlush]

Glad Villar has turned it around.

 

Definitely.

 

Offensively and defensively for the record.

[adambr2]

A 4 run lead is pretty meaningless with this pitching staff.
