GDT : Cardinals @ Padres (5/7) ~ 9:10pm CDT

[ramfandan]

important that you starter goes at least 6 IP....it takes guys like Stanek, Svanson and Graceffo out of the game. They're just not consistent enough to be in a close game.

Speaking of close games ..

Last night was the 8th win in 1 run games this season
That is Tied -2nd Most in MLB
Despite some hiccups from the pen , the job is getting done winning these nailbiters.

[hotrivets]

Walker made the safe play but I can’t help but feel like he could have had it.

Absolutely. Bad effort

He has to have lost sight of that ball- another step and it would have hit him in the head

[cosmo.kramer]

Church is just overmatched....everything in the zone...can't get the ball to the OF, or the right side of diamond

But but but he had 2 bunt hits this year and almost broke his ankle on one attempt.
JK.

Ball didn't hit his ankle. Do you even watch? Lol

Hit right above his ankle. But, naturally you missed the gist of it.
The reason I said he should have bunted on a particular ab, was the 3b man was over at short. See, I do watch. lol.

Ah, so instead of "he needs to learn how to bunt" it was more "i wish he bunted this at bat"

My point was the rate at which he's bunting has been a really good pace. I agree that he should utilize the skill. He probably had a great opportunity that at bat like you mentioned

[butsir01]

When it says Libby, Libby, Libby on the label
and the bullpen is ready, willing and able
The Cards got a win on the table ; ^)

Bard Bartleby!!!!

No. He needs to learn how to bunt when called for. I have also seen him make some miserable attempts at bunting. Not even counting getting hit in the back leg when bunting.

So the player who has successfully bunted at a league leading rate doesn't know how to bunt and should also increase the rate at which he bunts.

Okay.

Okay.

Your league leading bunt hits claim is bogus. He doesn’t even leave The Team. Victor Scott 2 does with 4.
As of May 8th Church has recorded 1 bunt single. So yeah, he needs to learn how to bunt when needed.
David Hamilton has 7
Tristan Peters has 5
The Scott II with 4.
So, remind me, what was you saying about league leading?

Sure, here is a reminder from earlier.

Church has two bunt hits this season while playing less than full time. Historically he would lead baseball in bunt hits at his current rate. You want him bunting even more than that? Interesting

Bunt hits each year (top 3):
2021: 7, 7, 6
2022: 10, 9, 9
2023: 17, 11, 7
2024: 11, 10, 9
2025: 11, 9, 9

Church 2026: 2 in 111 PA's --> 11.7 in 650 PA's

Being first or second in the entire league in bunt hits would be great. But I guess he still "needs to learn how"

Your claim is Bull in reality. Where are you seeing that he had two bunt hits? I could only find one bunt hit. A sacrifice attempt that turns into him being safe is still a sacrifice.
Keep on hypothesizing him leading the league. Thats just silly.
Jordan Walkers 10 homeruns would have lead the league somewhere sometime.
VS2 has 1 homerun. What’s that put him on pace for?

Your argument is just stupid

Cardinals are going to have to start doing some work to
Lose 90-100 games like golden and others were saying they will have to go 39-85 the rest of the way
