WLW...I would actually go with a sweep but I just can't trust Figs to be anywhere near a decent starter after only one good start this season. We have home field, vs a crappIER team and just finished playing a playoff contender EXTREMELY tough for a 3 game series...BAM :grin:
WLW. Chris Johnson went from Brad Ausmus at the plate to Pujols lol. Im happy for him. If it wasnt for Buster Posey he might be rookie of the year.
Cards and Braves need serviceable 3rd basemen...enter Blum and somewhat Feliz. Blum and the Braves make so much sense, do it Wade get us a nice low "A" pitcher who can develop down the road. Feliz...ughhhh release him please and just put him out of his and our misery.
CJ: 60 hits in 166 at-bats, 23 runs 5 HR/33 RBI/.361 BA/ .936 OPS BP: 79 hits in 239 at-bats, 33 runs, 8 HR/41 RBI/.331 BA/ .885 OPS Honestly, If Posey is being considered for ROY so should Chris Johnson (not sure if he has enough at bats thought)
Posey is the new "chosen one", Chris will need to stay red hot and Posey needs to cool off a bit plus hope the Giants fade for Posey not to get it.
Bourn Sanchez Pence Lee Blum CJ Wallarus Q Myers Good god all mighty...Blum hitting 5th??? Showcase for a trade I hope.
Yep, Kepp gets the day off. I know he hit there lat year but he wasn't very productive and why not just leave CJ there for good to see what he can do while letting everybody slide into their appropriate spots in the order?
The only complaint, I can think of right now, that I have about Brad has been his dedication to the Vets. I understand you want to give Kepp a breather against a guy he has had bad luck against but either bat Blum 7th or 2nd. Hope that 1st doesn't come back to haunt us.
I sure hope 3 years from now we are reading how Myers turned the corner this season and thanks to his injury issues he learned how to pitch blah blah blah... :grin:
Q has a cannon. i know he's not that good (although a solid backup catcher), but i love the guy. fun to watch behind the plate, seems like a hard worker who just wants to play ball and doesn't care if a person in the world knows who he is.
I think it would benefit both the Stros and Feliz to part ways. I am pretty sure a contender will be willing to give Feliz a shot to contribute down the stretch. This is just not working and bringing up someone from RR **cough Brian Bogusevic cough** will probably help the club out a lot more.
