2022 StL Cardinals Thread of Domination

[You don't know me 1161]

I am not optimistic about the postseason. Really limping along now.

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2732]

DeJong heading into the playoffs well below the Mendoza line.

That went well.

[Beau Vine 54208]

Can't stop watching:

And actually, I can close my eyes and enjoy this just as much.  The sound the bat makes is incredible and the crowd reactions are great.

[You don't know me 1161]

Fuck.

Double fuck.  Too young.  I'll never forget Game 7 against the Brewers in 1982, fist in the air:

Waino coming back. I’m indifferent if it causes issues signing guys.

I think he should have gone out with yadi. Will be weird seeing him pitch to someone else next year.   But,  he's not taking a ton of money (10 million is deferred) and mo said they are going to significantly up the payroll. So we will see. I love waino and I know he's disappointed in the how the season ended. I just hope he has a much left in the tank as he says he does. 

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2732]

Agreed.
Nolan sticking around. I like it.

[You don't know me 1161]

His third. No excuse for that. I think he has called his last game for the Cardinals

Danny and Brad in the booth together are great.  Surely they can't keep Danny after this, right?

I don't see how he keeps himself out of jail after this.

[Capn81 372]

This sucks, but yeah, they have to move on from Danny. He needs to get his life in order.

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2732]

Wel let’s see how much Contreras has left in the tank.

[You don't know me 1161]

Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about Contreras.  I'll let you all know next fall.

I feel good that I'm going to spend far less time screaming "PINCH HITTER!!!" at the TV whenever our catcher comes to bat late in a close game.

Should be far fewer double plays that end in otherwise promising inning.

How dumb do you have to be to get 3 DUIs?  The guy probably makes good money, if not REAL good money . . . call an Uber.

[Beau Vine 54208]

I wonder how often he was drunk during the games?

Interview with Bob Uecker about his "tuba incident" at the '64 World Series.  (Cardinals topped the Yankees, for what it's worth.  I was a one year old living near Washington University.)

That's a sousaphone, nerd!!!

If Bob Uecker calls it a tuba, I'm calling it a tuba.

Quick exit from Holliday and McEwing on board.  

[Beau Vine 54208]

Chip Caray in the booth would suck.  The man is the word "vapid" personified.  

[You don't know me 1161]

Chip's a done deal, right?

Yes.... but with ballys going bk, who knows? 

[Beau Vine 54208]

I has boner.

 

[Capn81 372]

He looked good today. Hopefully, he does not give Mo and Co a reason to keep him down in the minors to start the year.

Oh sure...

He could hit .500 with 20 HRs this spring and they'll send him down.  And everyone will know exactly why and be OK with it somehow.

To be honest, I feel like they want him up this spring. It kinda of feels as if they want O’Neil and Carlson to battle. And then move on from one of them during the season.

[You don't know me 1161]

I don't see any scenario where Walker breaks camp on the big league roster.  This team just doesn't do that.

ETA:  But Dejong will.  It's a mystery.  I saw a tweet the other day about how Dejong was hitting balls all the way to just shy of the warning track.  Holy shit, that's amazing.  He was hitting fly outs.

[Beau Vine 54208]

I should warn everyone that I'm getting completely obsessed with this guy:

 

[Capn81 372]

He looks like he will be special.

[Beau Vine 54208]

 

[Capn81 372]

They cannot keep Walker down if he keeps this up. People will riot after the FO not spending this off-season.

[Beau Vine 54208]

Moz forgot to tell the social media group to tamp it down?

 

[Beau Vine 54208]

You can't actually see where this ball goes, but you can hear the sound the bat makes, hear the sound the crowd makes, and hear the lady say "Oh my gosh" when the ball presumably lands, so just use your imagination.

Well, Walker is not helping himself out at the moment. I heard on the Locked on pod that he is 1 for 18 hitting lefties this spring training. That might just be the ammo needed to send him down.

I guess he hit over 300 against lefties all last year, but still hit 280 or so against lefties.
