Babe Truth

Old school values. Honest grades. Daily highlights. Some franchises get it. Most don't. Babe Truth doesn't miss.

[Babe Truth @BabeTruthMLB]

The list. You're welcome.

Cardinals would do this in a heartbeat, the Padres would rightfully tell the Cardinals to get bent.

[Cardinals Live @Cardinals_Live_]

Would you do this deal? #stlcards

Padres get:
Jimmy Crooks
Blaze Jordan
Lars Nootbaar

Cardinals get:
Fernando Tatis Jr w/ full contract

@Luigi369X @OleTimeHardball That dropoff is something else.

@THEREALMATYI @OleTimeHardball 20 years ago is right when Yadi started. Coincidence? Probably.

@BBGreatMoments July 22, 1986. Cardinals lead the Giants 10-2. Vince Coleman steals second and third. Giants take exception. Benches clear. Herzog and Roger Craig go nose to nose. Both managers get shoves in.
Giants homer late. Get the tying run to the plate before the game ends. Always try.

@chadman_hardin @OleTimeHardball And me once for misspelling honor.

@chadman_hardin @OleTimeHardball 4 times to honer the soon to be retired jersey number.

AL Central. Five teams. None above .500. Five questions.

Cleveland — Contender or just the least bad?
Detroit — Skubal's out. Now what?
White Sox — Is the rebuild actually real?
Royals — Was last year the peak?
Twins — Where did this team go?
Least exciting MLB division.

@BBGreatMoments Piazza was a great DH that was positioned behind the plate for some reason.

Start Bench
Bench Pudge
Cut Piazza

@nut_history Hard to argue with Hornsby. Two Triple Crowns, .358 lifetime average, and we're still talking about him a century later. Would have loved to see that swing in HD instead of old film clips.

Buster Posey is a Hall of Famer. He is not a first ballot Hall of Famer. Three rings and an MVP don't erase 12 seasons and 1,500 hits. Defense matters but so does longevity. Year two.

Now, 2028 looks to be more interesting.

NL Central. Five teams. Five games. Five question marks.
Cubs — Is this for real?
Cardinals — Can the kids hold up for 162?
Reds — Will the pitching survive?
Pirates — Same story, different year?
Brewers — Where's the offense coming from?

[Babe Truth @BabeTruthMLB]

@bryceyoungstan3 @MasynZyn Says the cubs fan on a Cardinals account thread. Good show.

@AugieNash Jeff Suppan — 2006 NLCS MVP. Completely forgotten outside STL. That series against the Mets was not supposed to go the way it did and Suppan was a massive reason it did.

2 starts, 15 innings pitched
1-0, 0.60 ERA
Only 1 earned run against the Mets

What a great short video of the Gashouse Gang.

It starts with manager Gabby Street talking to the players as Dizzy Dean and Pepper Martin play catch, and ends with Rogers Hornsby.

@C0mm0nsense1979 @Buck The Walker home run was just odd. Walker was in his home-run trot while Smoltz was still talking about how a different pitch would have gotten him out.

[Babe Truth @BabeTruthMLB]

What a night to shove!

[FOX Sports: MLB @MLBONFOX]

What a night for Emerson Hancock! 👏

@jjwmvp We made it through with some help from the Dodgers.
