@dgoold Fair enough. What’s your view? When, if ever, should a pitcher plunk a batter?

[dan kadlec @chipsfordan]

@dgoold That’s beyond my pay grade. But as a fan, I want to see my guy protected. Years ago a pitch way inside to their best hitter, or first hitter up, would not have been unusual. Maybe times have changed that much. I get that hitting their guy in a close game risks sparking a rally.

[dan kadlec @chipsfordan]

Hey @dgoold to what do you attribute the disastrous pitching from both clubs in the finale with Royals. Wind? Humidity? It was nuts how just about every pitcher was ineffective.

[dan kadlec @chipsfordan]

@dgoold @LWorthySports The culture of an organization starts at the top. I believe the culture is much much better now, and that’s part of our success thus far. Like a lot of successful people, Mo stuck around a little too long.

@Kittybangquessy @Avabelly__ For clicks. This is why I rarely respond to online drivel. Sometimes, though, like now, I can’t help myself.

@RegionalTVCat Parents/coaches can really get carried away at these games. Winning isn’t half as rewarding as watching a kid get a chance and exceed expectations.

[dan kadlec @chipsfordan]

@echann7 @BNightengale That would make sense.

[dan kadlec @chipsfordan]

@jmjones I remember when the NL Central championship went thru STL. Now it goes thru Milwaukee. But that team still remembers Cardinal dominance and this sweep was a trophy for them.

@dgoold “Sensitive content” warning on this tweet. It must be good. I can’t see it.

[dan kadlec @chipsfordan]

@dgoold I agree totally with the strategy Bloom discusses here. My burning questions at the moment: how do we get Pozo more at bats? Will we reinsert Lars when finally healthy and is that a mistake? (I love , love Pozo’s at bats. The guy does not get cheated)

[dan kadlec @chipsfordan]

@dgoold Pitching the 6th or 7th, where Stanek seems to have been moved, is less pressure than 8th or 9th, right? Maybe that is his sweet spot.

[dan kadlec @chipsfordan]

@RegionalTVCat I had a full uniform 60 years ago. Still remember how excited I got putting it on.

[dan kadlec @chipsfordan]

@dgoold If this winning pace continues another six weeks, Bloom needs to think about trade deadline in a different way. IMHO.

[dan kadlec @chipsfordan]

@dgoold When is the last time the Cards were 7 games over .500? we have to go back to 2022?

[dan kadlec @chipsfordan]

@b_miklasz Better.

@PatrickRich0308 @RegionalTVCat @BobPagesports It’s a good story but needs more space. Trust me. If he had been a jerk earlier I would have never helped with the snow.

[dan kadlec @chipsfordan]

@RegionalTVCat @BobPagesports I met Whitey at a south county dive restaurant when I was around 18 years old. It was winter. I ended up pushing his car out of snow on the lot. Even Before that, he was wonderful.

@dgoold The problem with staggering off days is you get three games with a lesser lineup instead one game. I’m okay with Oli’s plan. But then I may be the rare fan who kind of likes him. Winn seems to need time off more than the others. Fair to call him injury prone?

[dan kadlec @chipsfordan]

@dgoold I liked going to Urias in that spot. But I agree with others here that Saggese should have been bunting twice earlier to move the runners. On a day when he had two hits, it was still a rough day.
