10 year old got to see Albert go deep!Had fun at the game tonight. Got to explain baseball to my 10 yr old. She also got introduced to Nooooooot. Lol. His first triple was a rocket. It said only 108 but damn was it fast. His 2nd I called when I saw it land.
And not sure why Pop Warner left DeJong out to dry like that. He should not have sent him. I had to look to the outfield to see if the ball was missed when he rounded and Warner waved him in.
God I miss attending baseball games. I wish I lived in St. Louis. It is just so fun being at the park.
Last year a college softball player hit the home run cycle. That's pretty cool. I am a little surprised the manager of the other team didn't intentionally walk him. It would be a jerk move but everyone except Redmond's family would forget in a year or two. Now a lot of people will remember this forever.Cardinals prospect Chandler Redmond makes minor-league history with 4 homer, 11-RBI game in Springfield
Redmond had a solo, two-run and three-run homer, plus a grand slam in the same game.stlpinchhits.com

Chandler Redmond knew what was at stake when he stepped into the batter’s box for his at-bat in the eighth inning against Amarillo.
Redmond had already driven in eight runs and belted a solo homer, two-run homer, and a grand slam to tie the Springfield's single-game record for homers and set the record for most RBIs in a game.
Still, one more accomplishment awaited him on Wednesday night.
Redmond sent a 1-1 pitch over the right-center field wall for a three-run shot to make him Springfield's record holder for most homers (four) and RBIs (11) in game.
It also made him just the second minor-league player in history to achieve the home run cycle of hitting a solo, two-run, and three-run homer, plus a grand slam in the same game.
"Just going up there for the last at bat, knowing what was going on and what I needed to do was crazy because a lot of times, you know, you put too much pressure or whatever, and it doesn't happen, but I guess it was just one of those storybook nights,” Redmond said in a phone interview late Wednesday night.
First 3 Rockies runs were batters who walked..............Cabrera seems to have lost a little velocity or movement on his pitches it seems like to me.........This is a pathetic performance today. 6 walks in only 6 1/3 innings, including 3 to a guy batting .180.
Also Nootbaar not running out that ball to the pitcher that he botched. Usually always see youngsters run everything out.First 3 Rockies runs were batters who walked..............Cabrera seems to have lost a little velocity or movement on his pitches it seems like to me.........
I hope Woodford does well as he was pitching very good as a starter at Memphis.............
Is Yadi getting slower? Didn’t think it was possible.
I was curious as to how badly Edman had cooled off, so I looked up articles from when he led the league in WAR. AS of one 6/23 article he had 4.1 bWAR. He is currently sitting at 4.3 WAR. So, over the last 1.5 months he's accumulated just 0.2 WAR.
Sure, my point is not that Edman hasn't been valuable. It's that he was by some metrics the most valuable player in all of baseball for a couple months and then has been progressively cooling off to the point where he has been a replacement level player over the last month and a half, using those same metrics.Believe it or not, among MLB team's big 3s, the Cardinals Big 3 of Goldy, Arenado, and Edman have the highest combined WAR: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/baseballs-best-teams-are-consolidating-their-star-power/
