for 2026 be a poor plan vs Crooks and Pages?

Crooks and Pages would be fine. Herrera DH, emergency catcher. Burleson in LF or RF depending on what transpires with Donovan, Nootbaar and Walker in the offseason.

The question becomes team speed and defense with a pitching staff that leans pitch to contact
and will again next season without big change. That's 5, Pages, Burleson, Herrera, Crooks, Contreras
with catcher speed and glove. Gorman, Donovan, NA too, a slow nonathletic team when
youth is the goal.

Agree with "depending on what transpires"

Are you saying they're not in
the same ballpark?

MO asks, "what do you mean? I worked hard to put this team together. I think it's fine"

I’ll take quality over quantity. Ya, got nothin.

Cards could easily get swept in this series.
Mariners scored 10 runs Saturday and 18 yesterday.

No worries, Mikolas going tonight.

Miles 6.79 away ERA. That is all.

If the Phillies sweep 4 from the Mets and the Cards sweep 3 from the Mariners, the Cards will be 1 game out of the last WC spot on Friday.

Odds of this happening are about 1 in 128... so there's a chance.

Now only 1 in 64 since the Phillies already won game 1.

Final:
Braves 4
Cubs 1

too bad they both couldn't lose but I'll take a Cubs loss.

this was Brian Snitker's 800th win as manager of the Braves.
since his first game as manager, only Dave Roberts has more wins.

Mariners are 16-6 at home since the ASG

and they're off

Noot 4-3
Ivan 6-3
Burly 6-3
