paul carruthers Posted May 6, 2023 Author Share Posted May 6, 2023 Wow, I just checked the scores. Nice ass whoopin' being put on the Braves tonight. Anything helps, although my Mets will still be struggling for a Wild Card, no doubt.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bong-Man Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Tigers are on a bit of an unexpected roll. Lol....sure was some lousy balls and strikes called last night, mostly against the Cardinals. Looked like the fans behind the plate were about to storm the field in protest, but the Cards Manager did the honors for them. I never tire of watching these old clips. https://www.detroitnews.com/videos/news/local/michigan-history/2023/05/06/1928-newsreel-tigers-take-series-yankees-first-time-5-years/11798703002/ Edited May 6, 2023 by Bong-Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping we take this series today with Wells pitching. Boston has somehow managed to win 8 in a row. The Pirates have turned back into the same old Pirates. The Yankees finally beat Tampa. They needed that and I am actually happy they won. We have Tampa coming in Monday. Orioles have yet to lose an opening game of any series. Today I expect them to win with Wells. Middle relievers Givens and Tate should be ready to go. Rehabs done. I see the Mets lost again. What is going on there?. They have John Means expected return date in mid July. I am hoping sooner and I would think he is anxious to join his team given the fabulous start. If he is the same Means, he gives us a real shot in the arm. Gives us a solid 5 man rotation. But that is July. Wells is pitching great and it would be nice to beat Atlanta and then Tampa Edited May 7, 2023 by LedZeppfan1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted May 7, 2023 Author Share Posted May 7, 2023 ^^ The Mets offense is in a major slump & the starting rotation is beyond garbage, so far. Basically, all the fears I had about the Mets going into the season have come true so far. The best money you can buy if Mets management wanted a .500 ballclub....

kingzoso Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Finally, the Saint Louis Cardinals are on a winning streak. 2 games. Only 9 games out of first place.

One in extra innings vs Atlanta where our closer made one mistake and it killed us. Last night we get great pitching from Gibson and lose a low scoring game. Hopefully the kid, the rookie pitcher does well tonight. Tampa has everything bouncing their way right now. Im not sure the Cardinals can overcome this? But it is early. The bigger concern is their pitching. I would think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bong-Man Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 My Tigers take 2 of 3 from Cleveland on the road and are actually entertaining to watch. 2 games under .500, and 2 games from the divisional lead in a lousy division. I hope they wait until at least July 1st to see how things play out before trading their best pitcher. I'm also becoming a big fan of 2hour and 15-minute games.

paul carruthers Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 I just started watching the Padres/Twins game & one smart decision the Mets front office made was not paying out a huge contract to Carlos Correa.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the cheating in 2017 any Astro stats from that year are suspect. In 2017 Correa hit a career high .315. HIs career avg is .276 and it is only .270 with 2017 not included. Altuve fared about the same. In 2017 he hit .346. His career avg is .307, and .303 if you do not include 2017. So for both of them, the 2017 avg was .039 higher than the career avg. They are the two Astros cheaters from 2017 who had the largest benefit from cheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Mets getting shutout by the Nationals, now I just sit through these Mets games with snack food & try not to elevate my blood pressure too much. The Mets and common sense don't seem to be 2 things that go together often, so they will never call up Vientos and Mauricio from Triple A & try to give the offense the swift kick in the ass it needs...

paul carruthers Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) I guess the Pittsburgh Pirates have reverted back to type, being a mediocre franchise.

However, at the moment, I am somewhat skeptical this will happen. It seems that the Cardinals came into the season with a strong lineup, but their starting pitching has been very unreliable and extremely inconsistent. That also includes their bullpen. Alot of blown leads and saves. I will give it to the All-Star break and reevaluate. If the Cardinals pitching is still the way they have been, I will not have much hope for the remainder of the season. However, I will always remain an adamant and staunch supporter of the Saint Louis Cardinals, win or lose. 15 consecutive years with a winning record/season for the Cardinals is still an impressive accomplishment. The Cardinals rank 3rd with a winning record since the year 2000 (behind the Yankees and the Dodgers). In my mind the season is still early enough that anything is possible for any team except the Oakland A's. There have been a few early surprises, the Texas Rangers and Ricks and ebk's Baltimore Orioles being two of them. GO CARDINALS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned earlier, the Cardinals need all the help they can get at this point. Most notably from themselves. Another 2 game winning streak now puts the Cards at 15-25 just 7 games out of 1st.

I am going to go to at least one of those games. Possibly two. Regardless of the Cardinals record at that time, I will be wearing one of a myriad of my Saint Louis Cardinals t-shirts or my Molina jersey.

So far so good. 2-0 Orioles in the 7 th. One hitter for Wells. We are going to get Means back at some point. They say July. Young staff hanging tough. Have fun in Texas. I may have the chance to see 2 in Tampa. Will be a tough series. Hotel booked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
