2021-09-05: Cardinals (Lester) at Brewers (Burnes) [Brewers win, 6-5 -- Vogelbach hits walk-off grand slam]

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Goldschmidt slam coming.

 

I get feeling pessimistic, but the sheer certainty in your "sky is falling" posts is actually kinda funny.

It's hysterical the amount of chicken little, sky is falling on the board in general and the IGTs in particular. I mean, I get the emotional fragility but the doomsday cheer leading is beyond absurd. You'd think some of these people have never paid any attention to a baseball season.

 

I had the feeling/hope that yourout was being sarcastic. As he said, it was an attempt at a reverse jinx. I hope that is the case.

[yourout]

6 walks and an error.

Tough to overcome.

Relax

Yep, especially when the bats aren't really doing much. Still a few innings to figure things out, but the Cardinals pen is pretty good compared to some others' they've faced lately. Not Giants good, but still solid.

[yourout]

Wonder how far that went on the bounce?

[TURBO]

Not a lot of needs on this team, but 1B will be one again in the offseason.

 

as usual...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I don't like Tyler O'Neil. He looks like the king of the bro's, and has been a thorn in the Brewers' side this year.

What’d Rowdy do now? I see he has a double in 3 at bats.

[82brewcrew82]

Relax

I am but perhaps you'd like a mirror?

[yourout]

Would not be shocked to see St Louis in the wild card game.

[TURBO]

ugly Jace...ugly.

[PinaMadness]

Yikes. We look like the Orioles today.

You pretty much have it.

[TURBO]

and of course it had to be neck tat that hit it...

When Thames was here the guy would be waiting at the plate for a urine sample after a blast like that.

Chill out dude. We all know nobody knows how to watch a game like you

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

You pretty much have it.

 

Rowdy has been fine I think. He's still relatively young, cheap and has some upside. His solid defense at 1B has been a pleasant surprise.

 

He's not Anthony Rizzo. Those guys are not easy to find.

I'm good. Maybe take your own advice?

[willie key]

Magic number dropped again

[BruisedCrew]

It wouldn’t be shocking. They do have a 7 game home stand coming up with 4 against the Dodgers and 3 with the Reds. Those games will have a significant bearing on the playoff races.

Question is, do we go into 2022 with Rowdy as our 1B, or do we go big and sign someone else that we know is our guy?

 

It's a tough situation really. Rowdy shows us just enough at times to think we are covered at 1B, but is he our answer?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Magic number dropped again

 

Sure did. Watching the Reds crap all over themselves over the last week has been nice.

[adambr2]

I didn't say Rowdy has had a bad day. I said 1B is still a need. That is all. Rowdy is what he is. He has a -0.6 WAR and 88 OPS+ for the season. He is one of the few areas on this team that could stand to be upgraded, and that is okay. It's good to address areas of the team that could be improved. It's why we aren't trotting Orlando Arcia out there anymore, and I think we can all agree that is a good thing.

The cardinals schedule is pretty tough

I'd say replacing Garcia in right will be the bigger issue.
