    At Petco park, 0-2 count, Stanton put this pitch with that swing over the centerfield wall.

      At this point last season, the Cardinals were -16 DRS on defense. They're at +25 so far in 2014, third best in the NL. The infield alone is at +14, which ties Cincinnati for second best behind Colorado (+19).

      Matt Adams and Jhonny Peralta both have marks of 5 DRS, which are first and fourth at their respective positions.

        Cards are starving for OF production. Why is some guy named Butler being called up, and not Taverez?

          Because THE CARDINAL WAY dictates you aren't allowed to get called up until you are 27.

            Super 2. Taveras is up next month.

              All outside the strike zone.

              Conclusion: If you don't want Miggy to hit a home run, throw strikes.
              The king was shaken. He went up to the room over the gateway and wept.
              As he went, he said: "O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom!
              If only I had died instead of you
              O Absalom, my son, my son!"

                  MLB Random Thoughts [5/12-5/18]

                  Nationals just got throughly embarrassed by the Athletics this weekend

                  Gio Gonzalez also got into it with Ian Desmond during the game today, though they are now trying to brush it off. Considering how Williams handled Harper earlier this year, and now that incident, one has to wonder at this point if Williams is truly over his head.

                    He is. What needs to happen is that Rizzo needs to be fired. Good scout, bad GM. But he hired Williams. So they'll both stick around for 3-5 seasons. The Nationals won't make the playoffs and wonder why. Harper and Strasburg will leave, the Nats will get a new GM, the team will lose 100+ games and they'll get to draft once in a generation talent that turns it is not as good as what could be had 5-50 picks later.


                    Speaking of which, Jose Fernandez is headed to the DL.

                      So Mike Trout is hitting under .300

                      This is the first time Mike Trout has hit under .300 this late in to the season.


                      This is the first time Rick Eckstein has been on the coaching staff.

                      Coincidence? I think not.

                        Mets are calling up RHP Jacob deGrom tomorrow with Gonzalez Germen going on the DL with the flu.

                        The arms are coming.

                            Not that I don't like it, but how is that different from a bat flip?

                              O's calling up Kevin Gausman to start tomorrow.

                              Hopefully he can stick.

                                I don't understand how Yankee fans can watch their team. They're old, brutal, slow as shit and aside from Tanaka, they've got no pitching.
