This offense needs to grab a lead.

What planet is Wong on ?  Finally gets a hit then gets fooled and picked.

Who is more likely to sign a team-friendly extension and be worth it for the next half decade: Abreu, 25, or Duran, 28?

I would say Abreu.  Duran matured a bit late and is still controllable.  Not exactly tearing up the leadoff spot this year.   Can't steal second or third until you get on base

[moonslav59]

I guess Whitlock is human, afterall.

[d-money]

Anotner terrible L by this team where the offense pretty much dissappears. So will cora trot dobbins in the second game game as well?

Agreed. Duran's team control ends about the time he reaches post-prime.

[mvp 78]

A little bit of a struggle for Whitlock.

[moonslav59]

Nice walk by Story. Need a crooked number, here!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cards are a team whose offense doesn't look that good on paper, but it sure looks good on grass... 

[moonslav59]

Well hit ball by KC. To bad for an out.

[moonslav59]

The Romy-DHam platoon looked good, today.

[moonslav59]

No place to put Devers- gotta pitch to him, here.

 

[moonslav59]

Good eye!!!

Let's go, Bregman!

[d-money]

Wow! Make me eat crow plz. Lol

[d-money]

Damn it. Gotta keep them scoreless here.

[moonslav59]

Chapman walks the #9 batter. Geesh!

[vegasbob]

A potential win still, but many missed opportunities by key guys, including Whitlock , Duran and Bregman.

[moonslav59]

Lets go 5 and 4!!!

Gotta like how the bottom of the order came through and set it up for D & D.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No unwanted drama from our closer? That's fine by me.

[moonslav59]

Abreu comes through!

[vegasbob]

Yeah, let's trade Abreu now, while he's hot and throw in Chapman too since he tends to wildness

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

2025 is the WilYEAR

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's about time Abreu started hitting.

Both are controlled thru there age 31 season.  No need to extend those guys.  Take the team years

[Hugh2]

What a great win! Just absolutely amazing.

[mvp 78]

Wheel-yer!!!!

Can’t believe we traded two months of CV for this bum.  
 

so glad the boo birds weren’t right on that one.
