Shut up, you jerk! Haha! Still not a fan of Pham, but that was awesome! Did you know that he just doubled our pinch hit RBIs for the season in one at bat? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love me some Tommy Pham and think he has the edge this team lacks both on and off the field, but I see how he rubs people the wrong way. That moment last night though was special. Right up there with Ankiel's HR and Holliday's last AB HR IMO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That moment last night though was special. Right up there with Ankiel's HR and Holliday's last AB HR IMO... There were maybe 9 thousand people there, but we were all on our feet. Now that I am thinking about it, I have seen a lot of random stuff at baseball games. A lot of debuts and returns, none of them were on purpose either. I am pretty sure I have seen the first games of the last 5 or 6 short stops and second basemen that the Cardinals have had. I was at JD Drew's first game. I saw Mike Piazza playing for the Marlins in one of the like 10 games he was there. Last week, I saw the return of Juan Yepez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holt_bruce81 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 So went down the Tommy Pham rabbit hole last night. Apparently he slapped Joc Pederson a few years ago for “cheating” in fantasy football lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgarrett12486 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Quote The Cardinals have formally selected Michael McGreevy’s contract from Triple-A Memphis, the team announced. To make room on the 40-man roster, Jacob Bosiokovic has been designated for assignment. He will make his MLB debut this afternoon. In additional Cardinals news, the team placed Lance Lynn on the 15-day injured list with right knee inflammation. Lynn pitched well against the Rangers last night, limiting Texas to one run on three hits over five innings. However, he told reporters after the game (including Katie Woo) that he was nursing pain in his knee. Woo noted that he was walking with “a pretty noticeable limp.” John Denton of MLB.com suggests that Lynn’s injury is “pretty serious,” and that the veteran fears his right knee could be “severely damaged.” However, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reported last night that Lynn and the Cardinals will “monitor” the injury and “see how he recovers.” While Lynn is out, St. Louis could choose to give McGreevy a couple of extra turns in the rotation. Alternatively, they could push back Andre Pallante’s move to the bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Apparently we were exactly 1 Tommy Pham short of being the best offense in the history of the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Very good first start for McGreevy and it’s nice to see the offense come alive in back to back games. Would love to know the last time they scored 8+ runs in back to back games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to know the last time they scored 8+ runs in back to back games. It hasn't been done this season up until yesterday. They've been close (3) different times, but never hit the 8+/8+ back to back games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Time to give Michael Siani some props. He's been a liability at the plate when he first came up, but over the last 1.5 months he's made really made strides and is finally producing some good ABs. For context, since 6/12/24, he has a higher OPS than Luis Robert Jr., Corbin Carroll, Julio Rodriguez, Cody Bellinger and other bigger name CF's. It'll be interesting to see if he can continue a servicable bottom of the order hitter. If so, he could carve himself into a Kevin Keirmaier type.

Brutal, as he was just turning a corner with the bat. This is type of injury that could end his season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Congrats to VSII on the 1st career homerun. Hopefully the adjustments he made with Ryan Ludwick on his swing stance/load the past (3) weeks at AAA before he came up carry over up here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
