wainwright is still very effective, impressive He's reaching HOF talk with his consistency. The guy is a unicorn. Doesn't slow down, only injuries have hampered him at times. There's probably a dozen other pitchers he'd have to stand behind in line, starting with Tiant and Schilling.

Why are we using real relievers up 5 in the ninth? Kind of sad that we have to consider Austin Davis a real reliever when he’s just your run of the mill MRP (granted he does have a very lucky ERA) First runs off him since May the fourth, breaking a 13 appearance scoreless streak. Strong in him the Force has been.

Houck struggling against left handed batters... Why not leave Austin Davis the lefty in to face them? Well, he went 2B, 3B, HBP, and Edman is a switch-hitter, so you don't get any advantage there.
You either let Davis go two more batters, a switch and a lefty and have Goldschmidt be the first guy Houck faces, with the tying run on, or you go to Houck and see if he can get one of two LH hitters out before getting to Goldschmidt. You can't really bring in anyone besides Houck with the three-batter rule, unless you want that person to face Goldschmidt.
Obviously, Houck couldn't get the lefties out, which could to put a crimp in the plans to make him a full-time closer.

Devers is now leading the AL in fWAR at 3.9. Xander’s 3.1 puts him 9th in MLb. One spot behind old friend Mookie

So Duran has a sprint speed of 29.0 mph on Statcast, which would barely be 3rd on the Cardinals.

Kutter doesn’t stand much of a chance against this team

Thought that was a pretty bad pitch, ngl
Just checked the gamecast for validation and it’s a center cut cutter. Not gonna get away with that to Arenado.

It was off the end of the bat and kind of a pop fly. Probably a home run in about half or less of the 30 parks.

Every single year, every single team gets bad results on shifts vs RHB. And here the Red Sox are still doing it, still getting burned.

i think AJ's point about nothing soft is a salient one. This likely isn't gonna end well.

Cardinal unis are so awesome. This is a battle of classic uniforms, baseball as it should look. That’s all.

Nice recovery Kutter
If he can go 4 innings allowing 3 runs that would be just dandy
