@KareemSSN @joshjaco98 Such easy oppo power! Such an exciting player to watch!

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@IowaHawks87 @SandyMac718 Yes. And it may buy out more depending on the new CBA.

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@SandyMac718 It’s almost like all the prospects I have heard about for years are taking steps forward with a new player development team in place. It begs the question, how bad was that system before and what could this team have done with a younger Dylan Carlson or those like him?

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@14austinbrown @PrezChaimBloom That’s why I said this pitching gives them a better chance. I include the bullpen in that.

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@SandyMac718 Should be fun to have multiple J. Baez on the roster in a couple of years. One probably this year.

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@14austinbrown @PrezChaimBloom It’s beside the point but yeah. Started one of the good ones on short rest and the other in the only game they won. This Brewers pitching gives them a better chance this postseason I think. Especially if they finish with the second best record overall.

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

What a cool stat!

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

Today is Michael McGreevy’s birthday. Birthdays are important.

The Cardinals have now won 13 straight games started by pitchers on their birthday. Last loss: 2006

That extends the longest such streak in MLB history

No other team has ever won more than 8 straight bday starts

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@AntiTrumpCanada He’s good at that

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@SandyMac718 I don’t get upset about the fan vote anymore. People vote for who they want to see. But the league should reward the deserving guys. Why do the Giants have 2 reps and the Cardinals have 1? Luis Arraez should not be there ahead of JJ.

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@mkg59 @SandyMac718 Luis Arraez

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@SandyMac718 Agreed. Sure there were outliers (Nolan Ryan, JR Richard etc.) but on average the guys are all throwing harder.

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@cigarmike I was also a doofus

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@SandyMac718 Started his rookie year in Miami when he hit the go ahead homer in the 9th and Jordan Hicks threw one into right field to allow the winning run to score! Great job by May to save the bullpen tonight 👎

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@SandyMac718 3 straight for O’Brien with little drama. That’s encouraging.

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@johnrabe Right!? Whatever they “have” on pitchers it’s resulted in a lot of outs on the bases.

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@SandyMac718 I had the same thought but that’s two straight saves with no drama now.

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@SandyMac718 Every team, no matter how talented they are, goes through bad stretches. We’ll see if that’s all this is.

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@SandyMac718 I keep having to manage my expectations and realize what they’re doing is far better than what I thought they could do. McGreevy didn’t have much last night. Hopefully his next start is better.

[Jeremy McMahon @jmcmahon74]

@RushingBaseball Gonna be hard to justify leaving him in Memphis much longer.
