GDT: Cards at Rays 8-24 11:30??

[Cusecards]

Can any pitcher on the Cards actually hold runners on base???

Marmol is the worst manager in the majors at this time.

It will be worth it to me not making the playoffs if we get that stool sample out of the dugout!
Pop also!!

Blake also

Probably.

and on the first pitch from Svanson, a grand slam

Day 1: DFA the entire major league roster.

Ah, the Shady strategy ... DFA all of'em and then bring up all AAA prospects .

[todd-parker]

Cards won't face Skenes in the upcoming Pirates series so they'll probably lose all 4.

good luck Chaim
you have a big mountain to climb

I would be willing to bet Svanson was not properly warmed up before he came in.

You may be correct as Blake called to pen for Matz to warm-up.
Pen says no Matz here., then get Maton going.. bullpen coach’He isn’t here either… Dusty , who gave those guys the day off ?
Next thing you will tell me Is that Helsley is missing too.
Yep, you got it, Dusty ! Better tell Oli bye !

Sadly, they only have two prospects at AAA. The best prospects are for the most part in AA at Springfield. Crooks and JJ are the best prospects at AAA and unfortunately they both hit left handed. JJ is really good though. He just looks like a player.

6 innings, one hit. If this was an anomoly it would be different, but this happens way more than it should, and against mediocre pitching. Not Oli's fault, although his lineup construction is sometimes confounding.

A tale of pathos in the visiting dugout.

Glad to be wrong, but I think we stole one.

Yep.

My lying eyes!

[todd-parker]

They threw out a runner! Pop the champagne! Extensions for everyone!

[ramfandan]

Did you see Gorman and Burley ‘sprinting full speed’ for thst blooper. Wow ! Saggesse was almost at 2nd base and he neatly beat them to ball.
So tough to watch these slow pokes play defense. Like watching an over 40 softball league team.

I wisely stepped out to fill the bird feeder when Svanson was coming in and then saw the score. I am so used to them losing now I expected to see a crooked number.
