He's done.

Broke down, rebuilt and broke again.

Forget him. He's not gonna make it. We've seen this 1,000 times before.

TINSTAAPP

Intentionally avoided going to Opening Day this year- just the third I have missed since 2009. I'll still watch the games on MLB.TV when convenient and will go watch when they visit Wrigley but baseball needs to change and Cardinals needs to change. Slowly losing me as a fan.

Seems like you aren't the only one. Busch looks barren compared to Thursday. I doubt I'll make it to STL this year and will probably will skip the Royals game in KC. I'm not paying $200 to see subpar baseball.

The more empty seats we see all year maybe the Dewitt’s will give a shit like they use to when they first bought the team and spend a little money next year.

I don't think you've accepted the gravity of the situation.

Yes, the give a shit is low but that's not the biggest issue. It's that Little Bill is a silver spoon dipshit. And thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. And he's an asshole.

He's a real problem.

I don’t have high expectations for this season, but I like how it’s started.

Then its on Daddy to get his kid under control and give a shit again.

I had a vid show up in my YouTube feed that was a Cardinals podcast. It had Katie Woo on it. I had no idea she was that hot. Yowsa!

Even though the Cardinals are a steaming pile of garbage, the rest of the division is too outside of the Cubs and they don't really deserve the praise because they've never accomplished anything with this current group. The Cardinals were below the Pirates on some sports books with the worst odds to win the division, but all the teams are extremely flawed.

PECOTA and Fangraphs were really down on the Reds even though they have Terry Francona and some core players like Elly De La Cruz, Hunter Greene and Matt McLain.

NOOOOOOOOOOT

(and pgm weeps)

Guy is a hitter. Always has been.

Just has to stay healthy.

But I love him at leadoff. Perfect approach for the role. Real Marp vibes.

Well that's 21k people that got to watch Brendan Donovan make a little league mistake and lose the game in extras.

There was no universe where he had a change in hell of making that throw home to get that out. Cost the team the run they eventually lost by.

Oops.

But on the plus side, I'm really not sure how you pitch to Nootbaar right now. He is seeing the ball so well. And it was just a standard take that really told me that. Just a high and inside fastball I think from Detmers and the moment it was thrown he just moved back a little and watched it hit the glove in front of his face.

He knew exactly where it was headed immediately. No exaggerated flailing, clearly not caught off guard. He just...saw it. Took a couple more pitches and I think he ended the AB with a single to RF.

He's just locked in.
