At 7 games back, do we still have to pretend the Brewers are even a mild threat in the division?
DeLuzio is my favorite protagonist in Assassin’s Creed
Jomo winning and the Yankees losing is amazing schadenfreude, but I really wish Bader would stop being treated as trash by his hometown team’s fanbase because of such.
#As a Cardinals fan, I would like to thank our pitching coach, Greg Maddux, for coaching the pitching. Had he not coached the pitching, the pitching would have been uncoached. And as we all know, uncoached pitching can be worse than coached pitching. So, I am thankful that Greg has been there all year so that the pitching could have a coach.

The St. Louis Cardinals heroes of the game, per win probability added:
1. Jordan Hicks, 19% WPA
2. Tyler O’Neill, 18% WPA
3. Jordan “Montgomery” Gumby, 17% WPA
[WPA](https://library.fangraphs.com/misc/wpa/) measures the change in the probability of winning each game per plate appearance/batter faced and assigns each player credit based on their contributions during the game. It doesn’t take into account fielding.
So is Gumby the best trade-deadline acquisition for the Cards over the past, say, 10-20 seasons?
Gumby’s interviews are hilarious to me, he is fully expecting the new York media
Love Nado in the post game. He said Monty “is a Cardinal. I can’t believe he is here. He is a Cardinal”.
I love that he feels enough to understand that. NADO IS ONE OF US.

C’mon Sneks!
Sad thing I just realized: I haven’t seen a single dog at the airport today
I swear I just heard someone on the Dbacks feed shout “You ain’t shit”.
u/Returnof_theHack u/Willsears94 was that one of you?
#CUT MY LARS INTO PIECES THIS IS MY LAST NOOTBAAR
Wow night and day how the Cardinals and Yankees treated their rookie’s debuts. What the heck is going on over there?
I like how this Jordan Montgomery has decided to impersonate an ace for a while.
^(3 more outs, Sneks.)
Glad I’m not Paul DeJong. Wish I was Ben Deluzio.
Remember when people were freaking out about this team before the all-star break? Pepperidge Farm remembers… I hope everyone can just relax and enjoy the rest of the show man, because we’re probably never going to see a season like this ever again in our lifetimes. This team has multiple HoFers, someone breaks a different record or passes a new milestone very night, dual MVP candidates… No matter how it ends this season has been absolutely magical
I ordered drunk victory white castle
their ghost pepper sliders are dope

Cardinals magic number is 24
24-6 to end the season for 101 wins is crazy but slightly better than what they did in August so it’s possible.
#NL Central Lead up to 7.5 up after the Diamondbacks 2-1 win over the Brewers
Even in the midst of an historic MVP & Triple Crown chase, Goldy – knowing that only by clicking on ALL cylinders can the Cardinals win a 12th World Series – has bequeathed some of his offensive mojo to CDick, Noot, TON, and even Yadi tonight. His willingness to sacrifice for the team knows no bounds.
Alas, only PDJ is immune to Goldy’s largesse.
Brewers are closer to the diamondbacks than the Cardinals in the standings.
The Brewers lone run tonight was walked in, after single/walk/walk to load the bases. Followed by a SO to end the inning. lmao
You can’t make this stuff up.
When was the last time we were 7.5 games up?
I am so happy to be able to watch

I hate that the press keeps asking Montgomery questions involving the Yankees. He’s said so many times he’s done talking about it
