2022 MLB Thread

[dgies9156]

The guy who’s never missed responding to a post that has had anything to do with St. Louis ever is suddenly having trouble keeping up after Yadi, Pujols, Wayno and company choke away their last roiding season together.

Convenient.

OK, what can I say.

As a Cardinals fan, I was sad to see them exit. As a baseball fan, when a team doesn't hit and poorly manages its pitching staff, the team loses. The Cardinals simply sucked when it mattered.

You guys certainly would not waste any time reminding me of the Cardinals' poor performance, so I've been reluctant to jump in and pile on the obvious.

Here's to getting Flaherty back and solving the outfdield woes!

18 lashing out posts against the Cardinals or St. Louis since the season ended. Will there be a 19th? We want 19 clap-clap-clap-clap-clap. Let’s just post this list as interchangeable for the same few posters. Dgies thinks everyone here is a Cubs fan anyway.

Yes, St. Louis sucks

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Actual baseball discussion…it never had a chance here. That’s too bad.

LOL, you are whining about the discussion here by quoting a post that's *11* days old?  That you weren't here to actually participate in?

You are trying REALLY hard.

Look, they have nothing really to look forward to until spring training comes around...  Maybe we should cut them a break.

You have Eight Thousand One Hundred and Eleven Posts. (and that’s just one of your user names)

Lol. Wow.

It takes some others a few days sometimes to catch up to posts and threads.

You seem really busy!  Easy to see how you fell so far behind.  It was so dang busy in this thread.

I’m surprised he’s so busy with 3 hrs./night recently freeing up.

[MU82]

At least Wainwright has more time to get his defense for his role in January 6th finalized

Do tell.

Based on Cardinals playoffs attendance, has he?

Anyway, Yankees-Guardians tonight.  Can baseball’s real best fans help the Yankers?  Will their bullpen falter again?  Can the Guardians win another playoff series against the Yankers?  We will see as baseball’s most historic and greatest franchise takes on baseball’s franchise with the longest World Series title drought.

Pitching Nasty Nestor on short rest is a bold choice.  He hasn't been quite as good generally in the second half and he had very middling stuff while throwing 92 pitches on the 14th.  I don't think Taillon is a world beater or anything, but considering whoever they send out is going to have a short leash, I think I'd opt for hoping for good Taillon.

Same half a dozen people and you dying to be one of the fellas. Lol.

Wut?

[PGsHeroes32]

Pretty mind blowing they let Civale start that game vs the top of the Yanks order. Basically was suicide.

Bullpen, Bieber, Cliff Lee, 400 lb pound CC, the wife of a front office staff member.

Anything else would have been acceptable

[tower912]

Schwarber hurt that baseball.

What a tough break for Snell.

soft hits to start the huge inning.

Brutal sun and balls finds brutal fielder in Soto so of course he loses it.

Profar then lets one drop and cant even blame the sun because he was such a bum that he didnt even try to run in to catch it rather easy.

1B Drury cant field a routine grounder that 1 stops a run and may even turn two.

[Jockey]

Avoid Snell on Fantasy next year. Regularly takes 22-25 seconds between pitches.

We’ll see which guys adjust best.

[PGsHeroes32]

Big props to Melvin not yanking Snell too early in this one when it was clearly not on him.

Got them through 3 more innings.

Pads bats are alive as fu ck right now. Hell of an environment.

[Jockey]

Smoltz may be the best TV analyst regardless of sport.

Too bad he hates baseball

A shame that the Brewers couldn’t figure out what was wrong with Hader and correct it, as the Padres obviously did.

Fire Budenholzer’s azz!

[4everwarriors]

Dude neva threw 100 mph here. Pretty simple, Attanasio didant wanna fork over da sheckels. Peddle Mark's ass, hey?

[CreightonWarrior]

This umps strike zone is getting bigger and bigger.

Yeah, the next time a youth baseball coach questions one of my calls, I'm just gonna say, "Did you see the big-league home-plate umpire last night? Those guys are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it's the league championship series so they are supposed to be the best of the best. And they still miss a dozen ball/strike calls a game. So cut this broken-down, working-for-peanuts, youth-league ump some slack!"
