I knew you were talking about number of wins.

I agree with this take. Lars Nootbar has never had more than 48 RBIs in a single season. There is not enough pop in the bat for a corner outfielder.

I try not to look at Brad Thompson.

What young pitching?

It could be Dustin May. According to Oli, May will miss his next start due to tigtness in his back.

I have seen a lot of people elsewhere, who continually devalue Burleson's value. I have been on his band wagon since day 1.

Actually, I enjoy listening to the duo of Rooney and Horton. I believe last Sunday evening the the Cardinals were on Peacock which I do not pay for. And I decided to go to the local drive-in for supper. While there I listened to Cardinal broadcast. After I finished supper I drove around town for...

Some real baseball analysis going on the TV side today. Chip: "Brad"? "What do you serve at a pity party"? Brad: "Coleslaw".

All is well now with many in Cardinal nation.

There is just not enough pitching to be any sort of serious contender. And there are too many holes at this point in the everyday line-up. I give them credit for what I would call overachieving 50 games into the season. I am with those, who do not believe that mangement/ownership will waiver...

We all know that all will be well when Nootbar returns.

He has had a lot of opportunity to shed that 4th outfielder tag ( and staying healthy is part of the job resume). There has never been enough pop in the bat for a corner outfielder.

Nootbar will be an improvement. But he is not a longterm answer. Slot him in at 7-9. Do not let him get near the top of the order like he was last year.

This is another piece of historical information I ran ascross. Nate Colbert was supposedly in old Sportsmen Park the day that Stan Musial hit his 5 home runs.

Nate Colbert. SanDiego Padres. I remembered the team, but Colbert's name escaped my memory momentarily. This record is hard to replicate obviously . However, since there are far fewer Sunday doubleheaders than there were in the 50's, 60's and 70's, the record may never be touched again.
