Anyone else getting sick of watching Hudson not throw strikes?

Tommy Pham and Joc Pederson apparently got into an argument tonight about which one of them is more obnoxious. No punches thrown, but they agreed to meet on the playground after school to settle things once and for all.

Hey, the fantasy football waiver wire is serious business.

Yeah, at least it's something important.

Why are they even testing shitty players?

I went to today's game with the kids.  Here were my thoughts.

*Padres played poorly this series. 

*the cards did well with their back up players tlr style

*Donavan is a good baseball player

*Dickerson is not.  He is dejong/carpenter all over again

*baders contributions can't be measured

Hard to write it up better then that.  I love the Sac flies, stolen base and good outing by waino.  Pujols had a good game.  Held his own vs righties and was in the right place to face a lefty

Pujols is a perfect example of why I disagree with the idea that RBIs are a meaningless stat. Some people just know how to drive in runs. Players like Joey Gallo hit 40 HR and drive in 75 because they can’t shorten up and make contact with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 out. Pujols comes up in that situation, even at 42, and you assume he’ll get the run home.

Today leaving Dickerson in to hit 2x was frusterating.  Padres gave the Cardinals a gift by throwing to third to try and get gold out.  This allowed arenado to get to second and advance to third on the sac.  Putting him at third with one out and Dickerson at bat.  He failed. 

Idk what Gorman did to get benched or if he is really sick.  I doubt it.  Also edman and pujols were on the bench.  Dickerson just sucks.  The type of of predictable suck that makes me mad.  The Padres sucked this series.  Vs a good team that run has to score. 

As you have said, some guys just know how to do it.  Even pujols would of gave me more hope the dickerson.

Love watching games in person.  I wish it wasn't such a hassle.  I also wish baseball wasn't dead.  My girls like the people watching not the game.  I got it.  I don't think anyone watches the game because they like the small games inside the game.  It seems like it is just the novelty of going and posting it to fb.

Gorman is dealing with a back issue.

I see.  I heard he didn't feel well.  Figured he showed up hungover.  Maybe that was self diagnosis.

Nice! I hope it's enjoyable.

Also, in the interest of curbing message inflation, I'll just ask here if "Liberatore" is Italian for "Hit this out"?

I'm going to the Friday and Sunday games in a couple of weeks when the Cardinals are at Fenway Park. The Red Sox almost never offer promotions or discounts, but they had some sort of promotion this week that if you bought tickets to see the Reds or the Orioles, you got a voucher for a discounted ticket to another game involving a good opponent. I bought my tickets back in February or March, before the discount was offered, but that's a good thing. I can't imagine going to that dump of a ballpark with no parking and shitty access to the shittiest public transit system in any major city in North America to see two shitty teams in which I don't have a rooting interest.

I'll know more once Schwindel's home run lands somewhere in Wisconsin.
