What a dumb informed post.

36% of MLB teams have made the World Series since 2010.

The luxury tax is close enough and is serving as a de facto cap. Teams are no longer overspending on FA and the bigger markets are very cautious about committing to going over the threshold for extended periods due to the penalties.

MLB salary cap is a 2009 talking point. It’s no longer relevant.

Okay, fair enough. A not totally correct statement about buying up the talent. The Yankees are able to keep the talent they have when it comes to paying the big contracts. Teams like the Royals have to deal their players as they become expensive and attempt to rebuild.

The Yankees and teams like them simply reload, the Royals and teams like them must rebuild. Some of the resentment is from watching the Royals be used as a farm team for the rest of the league in the 1990s and 2000s.

Keep feeding me crow Marp.

They have barely missed 3 home runs off Waino. We have 1 hard hit ball for an out. Bats need to show up. Waino ain’t pitching no shut out.

Ye we need som runs quick. Waino is up to 79 pitches through 5, he may 1 more inning in hm.

coming up on 3rd time through the lineup too.

What it do baby! Hell of a start by Waino.

Waino is up 2nd? What you do?

take your 6 innings. Count your blessings and move on.

These guys have 2 hits against a guy who hasn't hit puberty yet.

Hell of a ****ing job Waino! :clap:

I hope this isn't your last Cardinals start this season.

They only have 1 lol

Now who do you trust from our ****ing bullpen?

Yea I was giving them too much credit LMAO

I saw where this guy is up to 19 inning pitched against the Cards and Ozuna's double was the only extra base hit.

Gallegos and then Carlos I guess.

Waino? This is uh, ballsy.

Leave waino in until a runner hits scoring position

I thought that was a hit. Wowza.

No ****ing Andrew Miller tho

Bring in Gallegos.

Get him out

Oh Jesus that was close.

Schildt has gone full Grady Little.

God ****ing dammit Shildt

Ok go to Gallegos. That could have been worse.

Now bring in ****ing Miller to throw gas on the ****ing fire

Bases loaded for ****ing Freeman. :facepalm:

Should have taken him out after the first ****ing hit

Gallegos has to come in. **** Andrew Miller

The Cardinals have been completely dominated by Soroka in this game but are still ahead. That Shildt would be willing to piss away a complete gift like this by thinking that his 38-year-old starter was going to keep his stuff past 100 pitches is just asinine.

Miller wouldn't even be in the stadium if it were up to me, you, and about 5 million other people.

**** me seriously?

Waiting for the announcers to suck off Millers playoff performances before he gives up a granny

It’s obvious he had run out of gas. Schildt sticking with his guy and hoping is not a good managerial strategy. The pitches were missing all inning. Curve balls in the dirt. Your in the 8th. Get him out of there.

Whew, holy mother of God.

Well **** me running

Gj Miller

Shildt should be fined half his salary for that inning. Completely ****ing brain dead managing. So damned lucky.

I shit you not, I think he told Waino not to throw anything near the zone because Miller wasn't ready yet.

Whew.

No CMart. Leave Miller in.

Baseball is a weird game

Get your crack smoking ass out of here.

You want headcase?

Over Miller? Yes.

Carlos hasn't blown but a few saves.

Gallegos over Miller as well.

or he walks two and loads the bases for their #3 hitter. That was a horribly poor decision to leave him in. That’s inexcusable.

He's gonna bring in Martinez instead of Gallegos.

Mike Shiltheny.

Tsunami makes me flaccid

We need about 5 insurance runs here.

I agree with you but CMart is the closer. You don't **** with his head by not letting him close :shrug:

hes got the best stuff in the bullpen by far. It’s just can he remain focused for one damn inning. A take a NLDS series lead inning. If that can’t focus him, nothing will.

This bundle of sticks ass color commentator sure hates the Cardinals

Be a nice time for DeJong to break out of his slump.

With as many moves as Fried is making to Bader I kind of wish that DeJong would just pull a Pujols on Chris Young and fracture his skull with a liner up the middle.

**** me man.

one who sucks the penis was accusing them of stealing signs at the end of Game 2.

It didn’t ****ing help if they did, so who gives a shit?

Watching this offense I have no idea how anyone could come to that conclusion.

Sometimes its better to be lucky than good.

:facepalm:

Moron

****ing Bader

He better play hall of fame CF defense to excuse that.

****ing Bader. Get your ass back to Memphis, you shitbird.

Nice job Bader you dipshit that was a run.

Gave away a ****ing run

Thanks for taking a run off the board Bader. 4321

He wouldn’t score on that

And how the **** is Edman only on second there with two outs?

no shit. Baseball 101. The throw is going into 3B, not 2B.

Between DeJong hacking up 2-0 after two straight walks and Bader getting nailed on that play, there has been some phenomenally stupid offense this half inning.

Looks like a Matheny team to me.

Only way Bader would have scored on that is if he was just blindly running and not reading the play. More than likely hes holding maybe a 1/3 of the way to 3rd base.

Well here comes the circus.

Now that would have been a sac fly. So now he gave up a run.

Pucker your assholes, gents. Is one clean inning too much to ask for?

We got this.
