For the unaware, Daniel Poncedeleon got hit by a comebacker from Caratini in the temple and almost died from bleeding in his brain about a year ago. After surgery and rehab he makes his MLB debut tonight starting for the Cardinals.

E; He also got married while he was recovering.

That's actually a fantastic story, so I'd be rooting for him too.

If he weren't a Cardinal.

See also: Carp’s 2.306 OPS (not a typo, 2.306) in the series where we went 2-3, now 4th in the division.

I know that he and Caratini are friends now. I bet there will be some emotion before the Cubs/Cards game next week (if they're both still up) :unsmith:

The Cubs will never stop giving up first inning runs, will they?

Also :lol: at Pollock celebrating at first after he nailed the pitcher on a comebacker for a hit. gently caress you too, buddy.

Also somebody really needs to get on twitter and @ Len and JD because every loving time they say "[opposing player] isn't a good hitter/doesn't have a lot of power/etc" the guy inevitably gets a big hit/dinger.
