Off topic, sort of:. Mike Leake crushing it for St Louis this year

Nunez is the hottest player on the team. Does he really need a breather 10 days into the season?

Come on. The team is struggling right now. Put out the A lineup (minus Posey, of course).

 

[msgkings322]

Also, Nats bullpen even shittier than ours so far

Do you guys think there is any chance they get in five innings before the rain starts?

Hope not with Cain pitching. But him giving up 8 runs in the first 4 innings will slow things down.

 

[msgkings322]

LOL at Cain. 5 more starts, eh tzill?

The inter webs say 70% chance of occasional rain showers. Hopefully it's more off than on.

No hopefully it's a Noah-style flood and a rainout, so we can skip Cain's start

Cain sucks.

And I am getting a little tired of K&Ks company line sale-job. I forget if it was this morning or yesterday, but Kruk said on Murph and Mac that Cain WON the fifth spot in ST and that he has complete faith in Cain turning it around.

Come on, man. We love you, but you lose credibility with comments like that.

He also stated that Heston was going to be a mainstay in the rotation for 6+ years.

Old man Span giving the team more opportunities to fail with RISP...

Yeah I heard that too, you just gotta ignore Kruk's 'wisdom' and enjoy his work in game. He's good at that, one of the best. But I'm going to beat his ass for the way he says "squaaaat". It'd be funny every so often. He does it every time. I bet he thinks that's how you pronounce it.

4 after this one. He'll get six.

Hope you're wrong

 

[calsnowskier]

Belt has to make an adjustment on the shift. He isn't a good enough hitter to just ignore it.

 

[msgkings322]

Pence is for sure going to strikeout with Span on 3rd and 1 out

 

[calsnowskier]

Hope you're wrong

I hope you are right and he is wrong, but I think you are wrong and he is right.

At least he advanced the runner, unlike Hunter Kence
