Odd that they'd walk Soto but not Lee...
1 out vs. none is a different situation, obviously, but Soto is a great DP target and Lee is really hot.

He's so good that it would be a 3 run walk
but I guess that’s better than the GS he’s about to hit…

Normally if someone recommended that a team intentionally walk a batter with the bases loaded
I would think they’re crazy. However that’s probably your best bet with Pujols. What a beast, I would love that man if he didn’t play for the Cards.

He's come up in late innings close in previous games
Today is early and the Cubs are leading.
You two have a point, but I'd like to see his average get up around .270
and show consistent situational hitting – it will mark a joyful end to the Miles/Freel discussions.

I'd love to see it, too
His performance in the minors doesn’t give me much hope, though.

He is on track to being the best hitter ever. (I also have a son with Down Syndrome, so his stuff off the field is good news to me too.)

Yeah, me too.
I mean, I want his team to go 0-162, but he’s playing the game the right way, and you have to respect a guy with that kind of bat.

Yea good point...
But you would think with the amount of advance scouting teams do someone would’ve figured him out by now. It’s not like is stuff is dominant, he’s just a smart pitcher and locates well.

This.
He’s not “Maddux II” or anything. The ceiling is probably having a slightly above-average, 10-year ML career. Any pitcher that can make the majors can have a dominant start, and can be on with his command for a couple months. Wells will have rough stretches, too, we just haven’t seen them yet.
So I haven't seen Fox play the field yet
And I don’t have the game on TV today in Wyoming… how’s Fox looking at the hot corner?
Not terrible
He made some nice plays a couple of days ago, too. Including a well-fielded bunt.

Fielded a swinging bunt earlier in the game, looked okay.
It was a close play at first, but Fox had to look back the runner at second.

Cardinals score 8
In the fourth. We get the Sux for six who act like its the World Series, and the Cardinals get the Royals for six each year.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. -- George Santayana (1863-1952)
What is the all time record between the two?
I’m betting 2-1 Cardinals. Cubs and Sux are dead even.

it is annoying. part of the reason i hate interleague,
especially since the sox mean little to me.

We've seen the World Series and...
… games against the Cubs are NOT the World Series.
Ever since 2005 games against the Cubs have lost most of their edge to me and many other Sox fans. Meanwhile, to the Cubs & Cubs fans beating the Sox IS like winning the World Series, or so they can only imagine.

Remember, Wells was a position player in the minors before pitching.
He can hit. Just not this time…

Carroll was running hard out of the box. It almost bounced up into the bleachers.

A fan JUST missed touching it on the big bounce-
it could have been a double.

A double and an ejected fan, that is.
If the one run doesn’t end up making a difference, I don’t really care. I’d rather not see anyone get ejected over it.

They'd get ejected for that? Really?

A fan in Houston was ejected earlier this year.
Remember Dome’s fan interference double? The guy who grabbed the ball was ejected from Minute Maid Park.

Interfering with a live ball is usually grounds for ejection.
"I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game." - Walt Whitman
Huh.
I thought the basket was big enough that you’d have to have really long arms to actually interfere with a ball that wasn’t going to be out anyway.
I can reach over it from the front row
but just barely. I do have long arms though… 6’3"
