I knew we had a bad week, but I clicked on this thread and saw 4th in the NL Central.

Careful Karma is a *****.

Need to get this one today and take care of business at home. We have a tough stretch next week

I'm kinda surprised that Strop did not get the call also. I'm guessing that they want to decide on Maples or Ryan before making the call.

Colorado I wouldn't call tough

Stl I want them back. Sweep deserves a pay back.

Colorado has won 11 of 13 and is 2nd in NL West. They started the year really bad and have turned it on. There lineup is very tough.

IMOP, it doesn't make a difference who they play. If they play like they are capable of playing...they can beat anyone they play. If they don't.....well, you saw what happened in St. Louis.

Good, I hope they all get 3 hits apiece and drive in a bunch of runs...

They have 3 big hitters here with combined 8 doubles in over 540 ABs..
That crazy stuff

I would look over a body of work. But what Cargo does do is replace Schwarber's presence lower in the order.

I wouldn't expect much though. They pushed the button after he hit his first HR. Basically they knew that they were missing a left handed HR threat there.

The guy that they want us Happ in that role but he is struggling vs AAAA pitching. At the majors he is a .180 hitter.

So the move is more about bringing line up balance. Russell is a plus defender and Descanasio is not. Cargo has won gold gloves in the past so he is not inept in the OF.

So over all I really like how this is looking. But sure there is risk involved. If there wasn't then he would not have hit the market.

And I want to see him make Col pay for letting him walk.

You could have said the same about the Cubs a few weeks ago.

Teams go hot and they go cold.

Cubs are the better team.

lol wtf you doing Russell?

 

[zack54attack]

Every time Pujols hits a fly ball, nigthmares come back to me of him cranking pitches out of Wrigley Field.

 

[SilenceS]

lol wtf you doing Russell?

He made absolutely no effort to catch that ball. Lets hope Lester works around it. Schwarbs gets the error.

 

[SilenceS]

Lester works around it. Lets go get em. Trevor Cahill will take over after this first inning guy.

 

[SilenceS]

Bryant needs to start jumping on first pitches. He gets meatballs and he rarely swings at them.

 

[anotheridiot]

Is there any word if Trout was even making the trip this time? What a brutal 3 days of travel, I would not be surprised if he just flew to cali.
