Nice Scoot, kid is just a ball player..
-
Well so much for hoping for something positive from Weeks...
-
Davis seems to be settling in a bit. That was a good AB there against Benoit. A weeks ago he would have looked silly.
-
Off topic, but just another ho hum outing for Jimmy Nelson 7 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 0 R, 9 K.. 1.80 ERA so far.
-
While I agree with all the RRR hate they still got the W!! Let's enjoy this little ride while it last. I will say the lineup change RRR made swapping Scooter and Segura had a positive impact on the outcome. I see Scooter as a fixture in the 2 hole for a while against RHP with Segura there against LHP. Obviously, if/once Segura gets back on track he gets back there full time.

I love watching Thorny drop that first pitch curve in there for strikes.
-
Wow GoGO, *** was that. He needs to stop trying to run while he is bunting.
-
Exactly what I thought when I heard he was warming up. I like him, but not a good spot to bring him in imo.
-
I gotta give RRR props for starting Maldy. Once in a great while looking at a small sample size pays off.
-
I was wishing this would happen at the start of the year.
-
Wily is a stud, can't wait to see what he does over the course of the season.
-
That Mark Reynolds hot streak didn't last long. At least we have Overbay on the bench to turn to.
-
It's actually really easy, and everyone should do this: 1) Stop quoting him 2) Go to User Control panel (top right) 3) Go to Friends & Foes 4) Manage foes, and add his name there. Thanks, learned something new today. Thanks

PrinceFielderx1 you are going to be the reason I never visit another In Game Thread this season. Thanks for offering nothing of value to the thread, and making this a must NOT read thread.

What a stupid pitcher the Cards have. Why would he hit Gomez on purpose on an 0-2 count. So stupid
-
Pitches like that are mistakes. No way you groove a fastball belt high in an 0-1 count. It is hard to call it stupid pitching, it is just bad execution. Chill out, if it was as easy as a catcher setting up and hitting the glove everytime no one would score runs. Right now the Cards are taking advantage of mistakes while the Brewers are not. The Crads only made 1 mistake on pitching and that was it. Lol, okay dude. Let me guess, they didnt pitch outside and then fool them one time?

I hate that the Crew forgets how to play baseball when they play the Cards.
-
Lance Lynn 9ks, lol Brewers
-
Nice to see Segura going the other way today.
-
Yeah, they are missing it a lot. Luc swung right through it on a 3-2 count. That pitch might have well been on a tee.

No matter how good Estrada is doing it could make him expendable. I would do a packaged deal at mid-season and trade Estrada, Nelson, and HellWeg for a big time 3B man that is controlled for at least 3 years or longer. Estrada is about to get very expensive. Then I'd just move Thornburg into the rotation. In the off-season I'd trade Ramirez and a prospect for a top SP prospect for depth. Ramirez if Healthy will have a great year this year and will be worth a lot in the next off-season. Roache will fill 1B the year after and we will have zero holes to fill. Just re-sign Gallardo. He will sign a team friendly deal I'd bet. The way Lohse is pitching and the type of pitcher he is we could extend him 2 more years with an option and he will pitch just fine. We need a good 3B man, and have to think about replacing Ramirez. Not sure what you consider a big time 3B, but Estrada, Nelson, and Hellweg will not return anything "big-time." Let alone big time under team control for 3 years. I am with you though. We need to move him at some point and if he is doing well mid-season would be a good time to do that. I have no faith in Melvin to pull the trigger. Brewers typically hold players too long. See Hart and Casey Mcgehee. I also think you are assuming a lot to think ARam will return a top SP prospect, and assuming even more that Roache will progress enough to contribute in 2015. I sure hope he does, but his struggles with breaking pitches will only be amplified as he faces better pitching.
-
Until Estrada does something to deserve being pulled from the rotation you leave this thing as is for now. Thornburg is having early success this year in the pen. That doesn't mean he needs to be in the rotation. He has upside, but a lot of his success right now is due to the fact he doesn't have to hold back. He can unleash that 95-98mph fastball all he wants in relief, which makes his off speed stuff much better. Let him learn in the pen and be successful. The Cards have been doing this for years and it works. Lance Lynn, Joe Kelly, Carlos Martinez, and the list goes on.

Slider, change up, with mid 90s heat. We are seeing a glimpse of the future tonight folks. He can be scary good if his command is there.

Kintzler makes no sense here. RRR has Henderson and Wang who need work... Why not today in a blowout?
