Thx duce
Guess Oli didn't get the CT memo about dropping NADO from the clean-up spot?
Is he going to be stubbornly stupid about this like he was last season when he kept Winn at lead-off despite his .290 OB%?
GO CARDS!

Good to see the daily crier crying again.
It's tough when we're on a hot streak.

Will Arenado ever rise to occasion and produce in the 4-slot or will he continue to rest on his laurels?

Isn't the four slot kind of over analyzed after the first inning has been played? The guy could lead off innings 3 times after that. They have 60 rbi from their 4-5-6 guys. Doesn't seem to be an issue.

Ace, a lot of things to be excited about with the Cardinals, right now. Don't you think?

NADO hitting clean-up:
4 HR
18 RBI
.247 .326 .386 .712
Cardinals team totals from the clean-up spot:
6 HR
25 RBI (15th in MLB, right in the middle)
.257 .330 .417 .747
Not much of an argument is there RF that WIllyC (only 12 PA at cleanup this yr but: .364 .417 .636 1.053) would do more damage than NADO as would I. Hererra?
I'm fine w/NADO at clean-up if was hitting for power and doing damage but that hasn't been the case w/that .386 slg%.

It's an issue when either Scott or Noot or Winn or Donnie are in scoring position (or maybe more than one of them) and he steps up to the plate instead of Herrera or Contreras.

When Herrera bats, he is a serious threat to do some damage. That's not really the case with Arenado, right now. Now Arenado goes out and hits two HRs today. LOL

I'm assuming Blackouts apply. Sorry. Tulsa overlaps into KC's TV rights?
FCC Blackout Broadcast rules are so archaic .

Yes indeed. Good starting pitching is like good post play in basketball- hard to beat.
