Excellent Dean Martin serenades all night. Thanks to 12xu for kicking it off.

Seems that when the Cards win the first two games of a three game set, Oli puts out the weirdest, wildest lineup he can think of. Sweeps are hard.

With Pallante starting the lineup may not matter.

How's that old song go again?
When the baseball appears like a big pizza pie - that's Pallante!

I normally don't dig up old posts but you made this GDT. Thanks.

Hey 3-0 Walker. And strike 3…

[Mort Gage]

When you can't hit the ball
And you flail away at it all ..
That's the Cardinals

Strike 2 was clearly a ball

Home plate ump as bad at his job as Pallante.-

Ump blows. Fermin should have had a walk and at least one more run.
Can’t wait for these stiffs to get replaced by robots!

If you think all these missed ball/strike calls are going to be reversed, you will be disappointed next year.
Remember , your team gets 2 challenges per game.
Yes, if you challenge and it overturned in your favor you do get to retain that challenge. However, when tested during spring training just 617 of the 1,182 pitches were overturned.. 52.2%
So about half the time , you will burn that challenge losing it.
So let’s say you challenge in 3rd inning and are wrong.
You have just one remaining. Let’s say a 2nd challenge is made in 5th and wrong again.
Now no more challenges and you are 100 % at thr mercy of home plate ump for the final 4 innings.
Since 48% of calls won’t be overturned, catchers, pitchers, and hitters the ONLY three who can call for the challenge immediately after the pitch Managers cannot .
I will guess after first blown challenge the team with one remaining will want to save that for later in game.
Yes, some crucial ones will be corrected but fans thinking s robot is gong to be calling the ball strikes correcting the missed ones will be quite disappointed.

When Oli came out to get the last pitcher, the whole infield came in. The collective talent and intelligence was something.

In years past, Mozeliak would scour the orchards for the dead fruit. Now that he's riding off, Johnny bow ties has gotten even lazier. No attempt at retrieving any help. What a lazy putz.

Guess he doesn't want to take the shine off his resume.

Apparently, that arrogant blowhard said he could have any number of baseball front office jobs. No lack of conceitedness with that one.

Very exciting to see Marlins 22 year old wonder (in 3rd game) crank one out and his family going nuts in the stands.

Sure wish our team had a youngster we could bring up to give our fans and his family something to cheer about.

Oh wait! Think I heard we do have a kid.. oh well !
Our FO rather have Memphis fans see his exciting play .
Too bad ! We can just watch the other teams debut their top guys !
