Mikolas getting repeatedly bitten by the tater bug. Hard to win when your pitcher is a JUGS machine.

JIm Edmonds just made a very good point. He said he did not understand why a .229 hitter, who just hit a homerun would celebrate running arounde the bases like that. With all the advanced metrics that are around, many fans think that .229 players should be all stars.

They brought up a good point towards the end of today's broadcast. Going into the game on Mother's Day in Milwaukee, the Cardinals were 9 games out of first and 9 games under .500. After today's game, they're 4.5 games out of first (assuming Washington doesn't come back today) and 4 games over .500. With where the team was back on Mother's Day, I'm sure we would have gladly taken being in this position in the standings and relative to .500 now.

From Viva Elbirdo's page

On ESPN, Kiley McDaniel said “He’s literally above average at everything. I think he’s almost a sure big leaguer.” His calling card is his bat, where he hits everything hard and rarely chases. For the 2023 season, according to Joe Doyle, he was the only hitter with a contact% higher than 88% and an average exit velocity higher than 90 mph. His average exit velocity was 93 mph. His average.

I'm fine with it. Boy, if Goldy wakes up in the box, our whole trajectory could really shoot up.
