O’Brien losing value

Then regained it with backed up sinkers painting the outside. C’mon somebody give up a haul for him!

[82birds]

if interested scouts were watching, Stanek and O'Brien are probably gone.

Nice to get a win in Canada for a change. Thanx to the Blue Jays for the E in the 9th, and big kudos to Liberatore for a great 6 IP 1 hit performance!

[RunSup]

Well, that was fun.

Winning is so much better than losing.

Also +1 on Winn's arm.

C’mon, Bloom, trade II and III!

Also +1 on Winn's arm.

He could have been a very successful pitcher. Then again he could have been Tink Hence. And that would have been a shame.

[MIDMOBIRDTWO]

C’mon, Bloom, trade II and III!

They have veto powers my friend!

Thx CK

and Thx Oli for giving JJW a day off.

The kid is obviously running down in his rookie season and needs more days off so he can stave off
S. Stewart (23 HR/84 RBI/.810 OPS and yes I have a fear too many voters are going to look at the traditional counting stats over JJW"s superior fWAR) for ROY!

C'mon, Rock. Don't tell me you are another one who blows off the traditional stats?

Nope, why I brought up Stewart's stats that I've been watching now for a long time

But

If you listen to those who do "blow them off", then they'd swear JJW's a "lock" given his superior fWAR that values his all round game (hitting, fielding, baserunning) over Stewarts back of the baseball card stats.

But baring a BIG Aug/Sept from JJ or a complete collapse from Stewart, I think JJW's ROY chances are slipping away.

They probably are. The reason I had asked was because of the debate ive been in on another thread. I do not understand the current philosophies of the game. Claiming rbi's aren't important because they aren't "measurable" makes no sense to me.

Clearly

Again, a conversation between me and another poster. Butt out.

Forgot what you just said?

No, just telling you to butt out of the conversations I was having with other posters.

[MIDMOBIRDTWO]

Run scoring hits. Highlights so rare Rod Serling may have had a hand in their evolution.

[82birds]

I believe Shulman said this breaks an 8-game winning streak BJs over Stl dating back to 2024

[cardstatman]

Salvaged a win in Toronto. Will be a very different looking team tomorrow in NY.

The 2026 Trade Deadline will fall on Aug. 3 at 6 p.m. ET.

Probably will be shorthanded Monday since all the trades will be last minute.

Other teams' best options to acquire are not Cardinals but after they lose out on their preferred targets maybe they will turn to Cardinals.

Maybe the Cards will have some Memphis pitchers travel to St Louis just in case they need to promote them just before the game.

I'm glad he chose SS

All I was asking for is an owner to be named later.

100% true

True, because all the big dogs will be shopping at the Super Center and the Cardinals have Dollar General type players. Last minute impulse buys.

Not an unreasonable request!
