Have never been a Pallante fan but the dude is on tonight. Good outing.

great catch Church

Andre helped out with 2 defensive gems

Pallante is somehow the best pitcher on this staff and I'm still trading him at the deadline

I don’t know I think it might be more valuable to keep him. I get what you’re saying and certainly wouldn’t be opposed to it but I think all a team would want to give up is a lottery prospect which I think pallante is more valuable to the team than than only getting that kind of return

He won't be a FA until '29. Arb eligible next year but he won't be making huge bucks, I think they should keep him. I am so pleased that he has surprised me with the command and quality pitching he has achieved this season. I agree that what other teams would offer for him would not be sufficient.

Agree
First thing....anyone can be dealt for the right return.
Having said that I would keep Pallante unless bowled over.
Two years of control remaining and even if he’s a 4 or 5 he’s a huge bargain.

Nice piece of hitting Ivan

[82birds]

3 hits Burly...not surprising
2 hits Herrera...very surprising (pleasant surprise)

...Cards BP can relax now... The Cards have never blown a 7-run lead... Oh, wait...

3 hits Burly...not surprising

He smoked one to center also hopefully he’s turning the corner when he gets hot he gets very hot

[82birds]

Cubs beating Pirates 11-0

Brewers beating Rockies 7-2

both games in the 8th inning

[Cardinals1964]

I’m not sure the Cardinals deserve any credit in this game. The Reds idiot manager left the starter in too long. Stupid manager.

[82birds]

Pallante lowered his ERA to 3.77

...When your team has a 7-run lead, a BP pitcher should not walk the leadoff batter on 4 pitches. NO walks...just throw strikes...

[Voldemort]

How does it make sense to place the hitter who was tops in the NL in RBIs at the All-Star Break to 2nd in the lineup? Obviously, it isn't working and this team is not scoring runs.

2nd spot gives your best hitter more at bats. This is his third game batting 2nd all season

As it potentially gives a hitter more at bats which, most likely is one more, it also potentially gives a hitter fewer RBI chances.

And that hitter's extra at bats over the course of a season lead to more RBI chances for the team as a whole

Is there some source I could read that stat in? I believe that both the 3rd and 4th places in the order offer more opportunities than one more "probable" at bat.
