Nice play KB!

No lead is safe from Kimbrel

Wonder if there will be much trading this year. I doubt it. But damn do I wish we could get some other trustworthy options in the bullpen right now. Jeffress and maybe Wick are the only ones I don’t think are what seems like automatic runs when they come in

David Bote has always been pretty good in the field but he has stepped it up so far this year, and he's been consistent at both positions he plays. I like to see it, there's a lot of value in a player like that.

The contract was pretty solid. Not a gigantic risk for quite a few years.

Listening to the radio, and Ron Coomer is either lying or misremembering.

He claimed he was in the same athletic conference in HS as Naperville Central, my dad's alma mater. No, Ron, you went to Lockport HS, which was in the same athletic conference as MY alma mater. (And no, there wasn't any realignment back then) Not saying he didn't play Naperville Cent. at all, just wasn't in his conference.

Screw the closer!

It’s a shame that it’s only a 60 game season as I’m digging this little run they got going on. Could’ve been something like 135 and 27 for a record at this rate

 

[CycloneErik]

I don't care what any of you say. Winning is fun.

Rick Reuschel along with his brother Paul were the first siblings to pair up for a major league shutout in 1975. Rick started the game and Paul relieved him and finished it.

Contreras, Happ, and Schwarber all have great rates as well

And there is the Chatwood we know... ERA jumps from 0.71 before the game to 5.40 after 2 1/3 tonight.

Is that bad?

 

[cyfanatic13]

We were due for this kinda game. Oh well

Pretty sad when the announcers get excited about a batter actually swinging at a curve ball by Kimbrel. I hope he gets it figured out and starts earning that $16 mil a year contract but this is exactly why the Ricketts do not like to spend money on a high dollar closer and this is proving that before our eyes Before him we saw Morrow fall apart too. They did not pony up for Chapman or Wade Davis when they hit free agency and went with mostly cheaper options. That is proving true this year too probably as Rowan Wick so far has been the most reliable reliever.

Welp new case for STL and tonight’s game is off.

can’t we just ban them for the year?

Holy ****. They need to just be done.

They already had to do 55 games in 52 days I read. If they have to cancel this series, that’s a lot of games.
