Of course first ball is to Correa

A butterfly for our princess

[Wishbone 4924]

Butterfly with an assist.

[Jshep34 2425]

Butterfly needs to leave before he separates CC's shoulder

Carlos will pull a muscle straining to check out that butterfly.

[tx 3 putt 78468]

Damn that was a good play to end the inning 

[Wishbone 4924]

Nice start for Urquidy. And CC. Let’s get some runs.

[Wishbone 4924]

Piña!

[Scraps 13744]

Can't wait for the 30 for 30 on Yuli and Beltran when he gets a hit in 388 straight games to end his career

[tx 3 putt 78468]

Damn urquidy needed that dp

[Scraps 13744]

Ldogg sighting

He should have “air hugged” as a shout-out.

Are we still the best 2 out scoring team in biesbol?

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

This fucking ump. 

[WBT 20879]

Reddick got hosed

[Mitch Hedberg 2115]

Wtf with the 3rd strike calls

[Wishbone 4924]

He started out Springer with that same call. It’s crap, but consistent crap to this point anyway.

[Wishbone 4924]

Lol! Ump making friends on both sides.

And strikes. (sorry)

[Mez2 4041]

Springer needs to get his head outta his ass this AB

[Wishbone 4924]

Non. Professional. Hitter.

Yep. His balance has seemed off lately. Lots of Gomez- like swings where he ends up on his knees.

[WBT 20879]

Bartman'd.  BFIB my ass.

He needs to stop jerking his head off the ball and stay with it through contact. 

[Pimphand 6266]

Not being able to play Alvarez against the NL teams sucks.  Is he *that* bad at right field?  No offense to Reddick intended...

Has he ever played right?

Not that I'm aware just left field and first base AFAIK but I would want Brantley and Yuli in the lineup.

I like Spidey in right. They can use Alvarez in a pinch role if necessary in inter league. We’ll see if he gets more reps at LF, or 1b in Florida next spring.

He’s slow and not especially athletic. Plus St. Louis is a pretty big outfield. He’s playing Sunday with Miley on the mound because Wade is a ground ball pitcher and should limit chances. He’s pretty much a DH. So was Big Poppy. Thanks Bud!

Showrrea!!

This. They’ll push his atahleticism envelope in the spring when they can afford to to assess his absolute limitations now that they know he’s a keeper. He will always be a DH imo, with the occasional field assignment. Our lineup, at least at this point, is sick enough that it’s a moot point right now.

[Mez2 4041]

That ball goes over breggy's head. 

[Wishbone 4924]

Nice to have CC back. No matter how long it lasts.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Best Correa

[TonyTexas 10682]

Correa being back improves our defense at 3 positions.

Exactly. Errybody at their premium IF designation.

[Wishbone 4924]

Another great outing for Urquidy. Keep developing! We need ya.
