4D chess man.. have some faith.

Elder is fine for his role (emergency starter), but I wouldn’t expect to win many games that he pitches in. Hopefully we can steal this game.

Anytime we get through Goldy and Nolan with no runs is a miracle

 

[Hulavol]

Arcia = #myshortstop

 

[thewupk]

Arcia = #myshortstop

He's played great so far

The way he was used down the stretch last year was perfect. He was lined up mostly against the Marlins, Nationals and those level offenses and did fine. But any offense with a pulse, like this Cardinals offense, is going to be scary. Hope it works out today - wish he had other options.

 

[Heyward]

no it was definitely Acuna.. that Acuna was basically a singles hitter last year...

I meant Marte not Cahna.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. left today's game after suffering an injury sliding head-first into second base... damn, it looks bad too.

 

[chop2chip]

Acuna would have better numbers than Mike Trout if he would stop fouling balls on checked swings

 

[thewupk]

Strike 2 was questionable

 

[Heyward]

Olson > Freeman, i dont make the rules.

 

[thewupk]

Olson is good

 

[UNCBlue012]

Oly!

 

[thewupk]

Olson > Freeman, i dont make the rules.

He will be for the rest of his contract

 

[chop2chip]

Olson has been crushing ball to CF since the spring

 

[Hulavol]

Olson.

 

[Garmel]

AIDS!!!

 

[Heyward]

He will be for the rest of his contract

I do think that deal was made for the years where FF is in his mid 30's where Olson is in the middle of his prime. But not gonna argue about this then VB will see this and it'll be a non stop conversation lol.

I see what you meant now.. no, it was Canha.. it might have been comparing them just in last years numbers.. Get some Matty... But regardless, they were yapping about how they are happy they have him versus Ronnie. I just chuckled and moved on. I don't know how to search reddit, but that is where I stumbled across it.
