GDT: Cards vs. Brewers (4/26) ~ 1:15pm CDT

[rockondlouie]

Let’s get the series win and go for the sweep! Pleasantly surprised to see no Burly vs a RHP again

I'm as exasperated by Burly's limp bat as anyone, but right after the guy finally shows some signs of his 24 form going 5 for 9 over his last two games, you bench him 2 games in a row following an off day?

If he's not battling some sort of ailment then it's yet another prime example of why Oli is such a poor manager.

Bumbles sucks. 5 for 9...big deal

85 OPS+ no power

Bumbles as the DH: .250 slugging percentage and .575 OPS

One of a few rough SLG%’s on the team.

Contreras: .313
Winn: .291 (albeit he’s been a bit better over the last 11 games)
Walker: .281
Burleson: .316

Plus Pages has a .281 SLG% over his last 15 games and Arenado has a .345 SLG% over his last 15 games. And Noot has a .365 SLG% over his last 15 games. Amazingly with his .392 SLG% over his last 15 games, VS2 has been one of the best on the team in that category lately.

10 Hr's in their last 19 games

Big time power shortage.

[82birds]

let' go Gray and the D
start it off great

[rockondlouie]

Bye Bye Turang KO

[82birds]

Turange guessing wrong
that's a good start

[Futuregm2]

Sonny good in the first.

Let’s go bats!

[82birds]

Saggese can't get the speedy Yelich but if there had been a man on second that would have been a great play keeping it in the infield.

[dirtkicker]

Love the Saturday uniforms. The best imo

[rockondlouie]

Nice 12 pitch inning for Sonny

Let's get some early runs for him!

Noot set a MLB record for the most walks leading off a game in April last night breaking Davey Lopes record, we'll take another one!

[craviduce]

Lars Walkbaar

tied for 4th in the majors with TGKS

[Futuregm2]

Noot does what Noot does. Leadoff walk.

[rockondlouie]

Lars Walkbaar

Adds to his new MLB April record!

C'mon Willy

[82birds]

Lars Walkbaar

what a leadoff hitter is for
get on anyway you can

[craviduce]

take the bat out of the hand of a hot hitter, who is batting 3rd....with a bunt?

[rockondlouie]

Donny out but like the hit&run Oli put on w/him.

[craviduce]

Priester break down....19 pitches, 9 strikes....that's 10 balls thrown....and we didn't score, nor advanced any runner.



where was the hit-and-run when Nootbaar was on 1B???? Why didn't Noot try to steal?

We're stuck with Contreras at 1B

[Futuregm2]

Sigh, bats can’t move the runner from 1st base.
