I'll be there. Haven't missed the last 5 years or so. Looks like the rain will hold off.

I'll be there. Rain shouldn't be an issue. Anyone have a problem with me starting the gamethread?

I think Cabletech just started one. LMAO

I can't go due to work. Hopefully Santana takes care of business.

Down on the farm, Yordano Ventura and Kyle Smith had nice first starts. Offense has started slow throughout the organization, hopefully they'll pick it up soon.

The offense has picked it up after the first few innings. I know they are being much more patient this year which is awesome because they are getting walks, but I would like to see some scoring before the fifth inning.

fify

Don't think we are going to make the trek this week.

We wanted to go up Wednesday, but an 80% chance of storms and a high of 44 degrees sounds miserable.

statistical improbability. I'm just holding out hope for 1 run moonshots

Ball should stay in Kauffman a little better than it did on the road.

Santana throws HR Derby pitches no matter where he is at.

Strong south wind will not be Santana's friend.

Duncan,

The Cardinals are getting some great returns on Matt Carpenter at 2b and his bat has always profiled extremely well for the next level, especially if he can stick at 2b. So with Carpenter looking more and more like a long-term possibility at 2b, we have a top 50 prospect 2b of our own named Kolten Wong that appears to be buried or at least expendable in our pursuit of a SS.

If you're DM and the Cards come calling with Wong, who's arguably ML ready right now at 2b, would you give up Calixte or Mondesi for him? You fellas still don't appear to have a great long-term 2b option on your roster and our needs appear to match up nicely here.

no and no lol

Don't be trying take Getz out of our lineup! He had an almost HR yesterday. That is raw power!

I think wong is way overrated. Could be just me though.
