Miller sux, pass it on.

luckily other parts of the team are going good. Not humming on all cylinders lots to improve on. Hicks :eek: 104 on the black with an 88 mph slider he is throwing for a strike. Good luck with that.

In the least surprising news of the day category - Wacha to the 10 day IL with tendonitis in his knee of all things. :facepalm:

Why has no Cardinal ever earholed that slandering, goggle-eyed ****?

I ask myself every time I see that piece of shit at the plate.

I’m against head hunting. There is no reason to take a chance to, on purpose, cause long term damage. A fastball to the ribs achieves the delivery of the same message.

Normally I would agree. Braun needs hit in the face. He is a piece of shit who ruined another guys life to protect his steroid abuse.

Do all the roids all you want, take your own personal risk if you dare, just don't ruin other people to cover your actions.

Ill be gawdamned if Fowler and Ozuna aren't producing lately. This has never happened at the same time or for any real stretch.

Be interesting to see what happens when Bader comes back. He hasn't produced for shit this year. Almost impossible to take Jose or Ozuna out of the lineup right now, and Fowler has been producing.

Who loses the ABs?

Bader

He’s a AAAA player imo so I’d ride the hot bats as long as I could

I can't say I necessarily disagree, but his hair! And his smile!

This team isn't exactly known for benching fan favorites.

Lol true

He’s good defensively and that’s worth something

But he just can’t hit

what he did to that innocent man deserved punishment from MLB. He should have been hit by a civil Lawsuit and made to pay for the lies he told about him to cover up his own misdeeds and disparaging his reputation.

its already decided. From Saxon on the athletic


No matter how many multiple-hit games Martínez has been able to produce of late, he once again is headed for the bench, with Bader and his .179 batting average nudging him out. And though Fowler has expressed a preference for center field, he will be sliding back to right when Bader comes off the 10-day injured list.

To understand why the Cardinals would risk disrupting their hot offense, consider that they have been trying to fix their defense for the past four seasons. Bader wields their most valuable glove. Starting Bader over Fowler or Martínez will be the first major test this season of the team’s commitment to a defensive initiative that began last season under previous manager Mike Matheny.

“This is a guy who plays elite defense,” manager Mike Shildt said, “so we can’t forget that side of the ball.”

That's quite an understatement really.
