GDT : Cards vs. Cubs (8/10) ~ 6:10pm CDT

[Hoosier59]

Big hits by Walker and Gorman! This is exactly why I questioned Oli’s line up choices since the All-Star break. These two guys have to play nearly every day here on out. Players like Donovan, Contreras, and Nootbaar, do not need to play everyday, and Hampson doesn’t need to start at all.

You know UniKKKorn had a bad back during the ASB? And took awhile after that, for it to get better...

Yes I do, but he has sat a lot since returning, and probably wouldn’t be playing tonight if Donovan was healthy. Now, do you disagree with that?

[Mort Gage]

Norman and JoJo? Well done!

[MIDMOBIRDTWO]

Jo Jo is good to go!

With the exception Conteras, I pretty much agree.

Why, we know who he is! It wouldn’t hurt to sit him now and then, just so some of the younger guys can play.

We need a CFer.

Cards survive the lucky bloop hit.
Oli made the right % move but I was almost hoping he’d have left Riley in there to see how he responded.
Go Cards

...I agree...but Ollie would have been crucified if O'Brien gives up a hit and the Cubs score to tie or go ahead...Was the correct move, in hindsight...

[boulanger]

JoJo, O'Brien, Leahy, and Svanson all pitching well. fingers crossed.

rest of bullpen is bad

[spfldan]

We need a CFer.

Looked overmatched didn't he?

[Cusecards]

Scott ahead in the count 2-1 swings at ball 3, 4, and 5.
I like his potential but he needs to level off his swing and show more discipline.

The kid just isn't a hitter. You can't steal first.

[boulanger]

Scott 3-21 in august. even when he bunts he gets thrown out.

Always and only about the game.
Respect the game at all times.
Contreras should not see any reduced playing time until it is clear STL is out of the hunt.
Odds are long, but STL should still do the right thing and compete.

No. Which player gives you a better chance of winning? I'll go with the lone All Star as the club goes for the series won against their hated rival. Seen enough of KKorn at 3b

yea, his bat is very anemic

Counsell PH Turner for the great PCA - kind of surprising.

How many times have you seen him to just try and slap the ball the other way and use his speed? He tries to pull everything!
