A fine win, indeed.

 

But to be the downer here...the game had 3 runs and 6 hits total and it took 3 hours 19 minutes.

 

What non-baseball fan is going to sit through all of that to get to the drama at the end?

 

I'm numbed by the boredom of baseball in 2018.

Great call by BA too. Goosebumps

 

What about Uecker? It’s been touch and go with him lately on dingers.

I hope the Cardinals complain about the walk off celebration.

Knowing them, they will even though EVERY team does it. They will probably bean Aguilar his first AB tomorrow. If saltiest team was an award, I’m beyond sure that the Cardinals would win it every year.

Funny game.........coming out of Spring training Jesus was the odd guy out at first.

 

Now he's on pace for 40 home runs. Thames is getting Wally Pipp'd.

"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

I'm a little worried myself. Baseball needs to evolve. Really really focus on shortening games. Attendance is down 5-6%, I read this is first year there will be more strikeouts than hits. Not good. Ball in play is good for attention spans of people these days.

Sogard/Munoz have nothing on Adam/Brew4u

 

I can't decide if I want to be Sogard or Munoz in this comparison. Both options suck.

 

Let’s be neither because I agree, both options suck.

 

Cheers!

Almost no hitter, almost bench clearing brawl, bomb to tie it, walk off bomb to win it. Yawwwwwn

 

Anyone who wasn't entertained by that, go watch rollerball or sonething.

Eliminating specialty pitchers would be great.

I will watch Hader strikeout the side over watching 3 balls in play any day. I didn't find anything boring about tonight's game.

I'll say it for the 8th+ time--No mid-inning relieving of a relief pitcher. Slows down the game and subdues offense. Pick up the action and pick of the offense and make the game more traditional and make a guy get 3 outs.

From the thousands of posts, and don't hold me to this...

 

Adam= Sogard

Brew= Munoz

 

Adam = Tony LaRussa

Brew = Mike Matheny
