That pick off call by Shildt in game 1 Brewer series was as bad as it gets. That was the series, right there. Totally uncalled for and as dumb as it gets.
I like Shildt, but he's better than that, I hope.

good grief old timer.. if the play was executed properly, would he still be a dumbass for calling it?
just because the player(s) didn't get the job done, doesn't mean the manager is an idiot. how many times have your employees f'd up something on a job? Are you the dumbass for hiring them?

OK Haus.....I'm on your team. I played baseball my entire childhood and I'm a St. Louis kid so I have to care. I hope they can pull it off.
I just think the young arms are tired.....and they gave it hell, showed what they can be....but it's over. Tired is tired.
Goddamit!! If they would just step up they could reach the summit of Last Stand's knowledge.

Moustakas was never going any where. He was three paces off the bag to boot. And a dumbass was on the mound with the leading run on third.
And as far as execution goes, that botched play was nothing new. bwaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Heck they got three runs on 1 hit that inning and pretty sure this team leads the majors in errors so yeah.........that's one big IF for execution for a totally unnecessary play call.

Shildt is phonetically just one “L” from being...well, we’ll leave that for last stand.
Regardless, the Cardinals will have t-times on Monday just like the Royals, but it didn’t take us 12 pages of cheerleading to not make the playoffs. :lol:

bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. That's a laugher. Almost as big as the Royals.
I like Shildt and like his management style. Maybe Mo will get off his azz and actually help the guy next year.

Hang in there Dabs
Sometime in the next 50 years I am sure we will have a 12 page thread about how the Royals make the playoffs
You can then go rah rah while the ninja nurse’s aide wipes the drool from your lower lip.

Hey...it gives me hope. 
Till then I will continue to take in 100 to 110 games a year. And....cherish in the 14 and 15 runs. 
My question about the Cardinals is this though - I watched part of a game the other in the rain they were playing. How do they even expect to be a contending team in the closing week of the season with Ozuna continuing in Left field? He should be getting his arm fixed instead of playing on the field. Kid has potential to be a horse for years to come and they are risking his future in my opinion. He was basically throwing the ball back in underhanded

Congratulations Bubba and your Braves winning the Nat East
I hope you can do three things
1. Get the Brave's fair weather fans to cut the tomahawk chop nonsense. Your team is good enough without the gimmick.
2. Send the Cardinals the password to the Braves database, we need to win a couple of extra games each year to make the playoffs
3. Send the Braves database password to the Royals since they were 40 games out from making the playoffs... and please add the instructions on how to turn the computer on
With a 58-104 record they can use all the help they can get or their team motto will end up being
"Royals,yeah, we suck but at least we ain't Baltimore"

The difference is the Cardinals scheduled their T time in September. Royals players booked their at the end of the 2017 season for all of 2018.

Welp, you got your wish but hard to blame that one on Maddon. Hitters gotta hit!!
Dayum that Cubs loss was good to see. I was flying home from Boston and watched most of the game on the plane. I had to turn the volume down. That split-tail analyst is more than I can endure. Got to watch the end from my sofa at home.

Very true. But unlike the westsiders, there was a reason to watch the Cardinals, who stayed in the chase until the last week of the season. The Royals were never in it and won’t be in it for for several more. Just find something else to keep you entertained with all summer for the next 8-10 seasons.

For all you talk about "New Money" (it's almost like a fixation), you don't pay very close attention to them. "New Money" traded off most of the older players they could mid-season when they acknowledged they would suck this year. Several of the young players (especially some SP's) they received in return will be very productive MLB players in the next 2 seasons. Add in a player (Merrifield) who led all of baseball in both hits and stolen bases, a young shortstop (Mondesi) who is a stud offensively and defensively and they were very enjoyable to watch the last six weeks of the season. Some young talent (i.e. O'Hearn) got a chance to play earlier than expected and played well. They didn't kick the ball around much and ended up ranked as the 6th best defensive team in MLB (BTW The Cards ranked 30th). While I don't think they'll contend in 2019, they aren't that far away and should be fun to watch. We will have a couple of large, and admittedly not very smart, contracts (Kennedy & Gordon) falling off in a couple years and they will spend it on some free agents.

Taped the end just to see the crowd on the last out.
Rockies and Freeman had quite the game.
Believe me, cub fans are in shock. The good kind.

I'd love to see the exact same look on Yankees, Dodgers and Red Sox fans as well.. I probably won't but it's nice to dream..

Haus Rockies with the big win on the road in a very hostile park. Showed me a lot.
But gotta say not a fan of baseball in Denver with the thin air. Their team is made for that place I get it but just not the same game there, imo.
