Per Cardinals PR
Jordan Walker (20 HR and 11 SB) and 2009 Albert Pujols (32 HR and 10 SB) are the only two Cardinals with 20HR/10SB before the All-Star break.
WOW
I don’t think people realize how hard it is to get into the HOF. Here’s Kyle Schwarber vs Lance Berkman thru age-33.
Berkman got 1.3% of the vote in his first and only year on the ballot. Schwarber has no chance.
I miss old lineup construction:
1. Fastest player
2. Bat control guy (he sucks)
3. Best all-around hitter
4. Best power hitter
5. Lumbering power or bust hitter
6. High-OBP guy who leads off now
7. Bad switch hitter
8. Catcher
9. Gold Glove defender (-5 DRS, can't hit)
Following six more scoreless innings tonight, Shohei Ohtani's ERA is 0.74. Through 10 starts, the lowest ERAs in major league history:
Jacob deGrom, 2021: 0.56
Juan Marichal, 1966: 0.59
Shohei Ohtani, 2026: 0.74
Hitters are slashing .144/.224/.211 against him. Just incredible.
i don't care if this is a controversial opinion but i really don't think rotta is anything like his father. i'd actually go as far as to say he's his own man.
