Fouling off good pitches to try and get one to hit is a skill more hitters should employ. I love those long ABs to try and fatigue the pitcher and maybe get a mistake to do damage on.ghostrunner wrote: ↑May 26 26, 7:20 pmMy Dad hates at bats ike Wetherholt's there. His weirdest baseball opinion is he thinks fouls should be outs after 2 strikes. He claims to want to get rid of home runs but I think he's taking the piss on that one.

Yeah, it's weird. He also likes runs and hates pitching duels. Which I get, but I don't know how turning fouls into outs meshes with that.CardsofSTL wrote: ↑May 26 26, 7:25 pmFouling off good pitches to try and get one to hit is a skill more hitters should employ.

Winn, Pages and Scott all need to bat ninth.

The fifth best hitter in this lineup is a career minor leaguer they only promoted because they didn’t have a choice.

Lots of regression synergy this week. Hopefully Noot is ready to go this weekend.

He hasn't been able to play full games back to back yet. I would not count on him for a couple weeks.ghostrunner wrote: ↑May 26 26, 7:36 pmLots of regression synergy this week. Hopefully Noot is ready to go this weekend.

Brewers keep finding grass and the Cardinals hit it right at the defense. Frustrating game.

As jag noted the other day, Chip really doesn't seem to understand what's happening on the field. I don't know if it's worse this year, or I'm just watching more. Constantly he says "just missed it" and the ball lands in shallow center field, or something along those lines. I've found him much more annoying this year, so it's probably me just noticing.

Josh Jacobs' MLB article yesterday suggested he might "if all goes well", but yeah I'd guess not if that's the case.CardsofSTL wrote: ↑May 26 26, 7:39 pmHe hasn't been able to play full games back to back yet.
