Cardinals' C team currently losing 6-1 to FAU. Only other team I know of to lose to a college team in recent memory are the Phillies. Small sample size and all, but I don't like drawing that comparison.

Good Dog posted:Cards scored 12 in the bottom of the 8th to win 13-6. Spring Training is stupid. At least it was the same guys. It'd have been hilarious but petty as poo poo if Matheny put in Holliday, Piscotty, etc. just to try to eke out a win. Good for Wisdom, though. I like what I've seen of him so far.

Cards' winning run today was on a wild pitch. Cardinals Bullshit is important to establish early.

I've still got my stockpile of salty Cubs fans' posts in the NLDS game 1 thread decrying Lackey and Heyward. Gonna have some fun with those come the regular season.

Poque posted:I wanna bust out the posts from the NL wild card game every time a pitch gets away from a Pirates pitcher Takeout slides by anyone wearing a Pirates jersey. New rule or no, I fully expect some of the Cubs fans on here to be watching Pittsburgh games obsessively for any sign of aggressive sliding given how bitter the topic got between those two fan bases last year.

will_colorado posted:If you look at all current active players, who would be the guys that you could say if they retired today, they would be in the hall of fame? In order of case strength: Pujols, Beltre, Ichiro, Miggy. For shame, omitting Ichiro. Ortiz doesn't belong on this list in my opinion, even though he'll get in because narratives. Beltran's borderline, probably hurt his cause in 06 because he struck out looking in the biggest AB of his career. Kershaw might get in if he retired today, just on the strength of the CY awards (if we ignore the 10-year requirement). Beyond that Yadi wouldn't get in from the writers but might get voted in years down the road by committee.

theacox posted:Pujols first ballot. Beltre's first ballot even if he retires tomorrow, no question in my mind. Maybe only 80% of the votes or so but his numbers are amazing. If Ortiz played for any other franchise I don't think he'd be in the conversation at all, but part of that's probably my personal dislike for him, Boston and the DH all blending into kind of loathing Neapolitan.

Elvis Andrus is going to retire within walking distance of Cooperstown just so he can rub that thing every day. It's going to be like Lincoln's nose in Springfield, only more adorable and with more Habeas Corpus.
