Seriously

Is this team really going to lose another game today 1-0 and get SHUTOUT for Pittsburgh?

Brilliant outing by Pallante---wasted

Brilliant outing by Gray---thus far wasted

I know people like to blame Oil for a lot of things that go wrong, and he's not blameless, but he has very few options with this team. You have Donovan and Burly hitting for average and your DH, fourth and fifth hitters are out of commission, that doesn't leave you with much. The rest of the guys, minus Winn, are marginal major leaugers. We are just woefully short on offensive talent and that's not Oli's fault. Hopefully we jettison Gorman and Noot soon as it's obvious they are a black hole offensively.

They look done. Between the heat, the ineptitude, the lack of talent, they look and act beaten. MO’s handiwork will show how bad they are, probably sooner then later.

we have a lot of injuries. When that happens, you see the strength of your team. Lack of major talent to carry us through the injury times...that's what we're seeing.

Road game Spring Training lineup...3 or 4 starters with a bunch of AAA guys

Jeez, 7 pitch inning. Gray should be able to go 8 today.

Looks like another gem for Sonny today. Too bad the poor guy gets no run support...

It’s time for Noot and Gorman to join Bader, Oneil,Carlson, et al and get on the bus out of St Louis.

Sonny backed up his previous CGSO with a really good start today.

Tip the Cap to our Ace. Offense should thank him with some runs

1/3 of Cardinal starting lineup out of action… Herrera, Contreras, and Nado,

It shows as 2 of the 3 are primary middle order of bat types.

Pittsburgh, most likely.
We couldn’t get a hit in tee-ball.

What was that, Pages? Taking 2 FBs for strikes 2 and 3?

Lightning Rod · Post by **Lightning Rod** » 02 Jul 2025 13:04 pm

Shorten your stroke, protect the plate with two strikes. Today's players have never heard that.

if this was GABP, that's a HR, Victor....but it's not
