Here is this thing.
D'oh, looks like we had the same idea at the same time.
Ha, I thought someone else probably would, but I checked two or three times.
Yours was posted two minutes and ten seconds ahead of cheaptoy's.
Also, I think the Cardinals should be forced to forfeit for only fielding 8.
Hey, what if the owner of the game log's photo were to get upset over its use here?
Btw, that photo's several years old - there's probably at least a ninth by now.
I saw it come up when I searched the existing uploads for "cardinal" and it put a smile on my face. My 3 year old niece would be on cloud 9 seeing that many redbirds in one place.
Well, technically the ARE St. Louis Cardinals
Send her down here some February.
Get well soon, Ervin Santana!
Kinda looks like we have Mediocre Lynn on the mound today. Oh, wait, that's the only one we have.
"Mediocre" would be a vast improvement over what we've gotten so far.
Hooray for Kepler
Boo, Garver
Twins bullpen best get their arms loose.
Lynn is looking like a rehash of Ricky Nolasco (though at least on a better contract for it).
It is sort of a wonder to me how extremely not good he's been. I thought he'd be serviceable.
Same. I think I'm on record here as being pro-the-Lynn-signing. But yeesh, Angel Hernandez is even trying to help him out with a giant strike zone and he's still walked half the Cardinals dang 25-man roster today.
I was very pro, considering the contract they got him for and the fact that he's a reasonably young pitcher an extra year removed from Tommy John, but man....just ugly.
I anticipated a much worse score when I saw this thread. I should be happy its just 3 runs, I take it?
I would say that is an accurate assumption to make.
He got better.
After his pitching struggles or after he was turned into a newt?
Well, at least we have a leading candidate for when Santana or May is ready.
If it was me, I wouldn't wait. Aaron Slegers has done everything he can in Rochester to show he deserves a chance. i'd sooner run him out there next time than to see any more of Lance Lynn. Send Lynn to the bullpen and see if he can get himself straightened out.
Well at least that gets Morrison out of the way of Buxton...
Hypothetically Buxton could push Morrison and be fine.
I see it as a wheelbarrow-race type of situation.
Is there anything in the rules about wearing skates on your hands for that? Firstbase coach could have a few sets for the slow runners.
Sliding gloves with a curved, teflon pad on them.
I am still very pro-Mauer, though.
Morrison bunts against the shift, but didn't hit it far enough. It was still sort of close at first.
Oh no, I get up for a minute and come back to Dick talkin bunts.
You could post that at any time for any game it would probably be true.
Good point. I almost complained about him doing it last night until I realized it wasn't him.
Beautiful day for a game! Especially if you're in the shade.
So far all we've been doing here is throwing shade.
MOR HOMERS
LOMORES
STOP WALKING PEOPLE
Enough with the walks.
I heard in addition to strikeouts, walks and hit by pitches are up this year as well. I hope I don't have to tell my grandkids that back in my day, balls were put in the field of play, sometimes even in the infield.
You're gonna get only Three True Outcomes, and you're gonna like it!!!
Every outcome a true outcome!
At one time, I was pumped when Zach Duke was signed.
It can stop any time now.
Welp, I just realized I have some work to do.
Kepler has to be the worst at radio commercials so far.
Warm up Rodney...
yeah nevermind
You know, if we had just used Reed in the 8th instead of the 9th, we'd be in a tie game now.
Nice DP. All 3 players had to make an adjustment. Dozier had to pick the in-between hop, Petit had to jump in the air to get over the baserunner before throwing and LoMo had to reach high to catch the ball and make sure he got his foot on the bag. All that becomes even more important with the ensuing double.

Santana/Berrios/Nolan Gibson/Romero/Odorizzi doesn't seem horrible.
