The only reason I can see Contreras hitting third is to get more at bats to hit himself out of his funk. If that’s not the reason Oli is actually brain dead. And if it IS the reason it’s a poor one.
He’s a tiny guy
#DONNY BASEBALL
Donovan manages to impress me every single game
I wish Oli would start getting a bit more aggressive with stealing. McEwing was sending guys left and right after Oli got run.
We aren’t scoring a lot of runs right now and it would be nice to try to avoid the DP ball more.

DONNYYYYYYY
holy cow, what a snag!
Whats up with Goldy? Just a day off?
That is absolutely fucking ludicrous

Donny Defense!

flaherty looks eminently hittable today. it’s not ideal
ITS DONS
Man that 3-0 call was a gift. Great play though Donny!
# l LOVE GO…. I MEAN DONNN
Juuuuuuust a bit outside
My fiancee has decided that Donnie’s new nickname is “Brendan fullextension Donovan”
Nice snag by Donovan 👍
Jack is not locating well so far hopefully he settles in.
donny gold gloves 🙂
I’m late
Jacks off again.
Jack off is bad news. He’ll go blind.
Jack’s issue has always been that he’s only ever *trying* to get swinging strikeouts. No matter what when he gets them to 2 strikes he starts to practically only throw breaking balls that end up out of the zone.
How did our catcher position get worse than Yadis production this is insane
Dark Brendan
Glad to see Jack battle back from down 0-2 to still walk his man. Means he’s locked in
Pavin Smith is a thorn. Like a splinter that just won’t come out
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Bottom 2):**
1. Nolan Arenado
2. Nolan Gorman
3. Tyler O’Neill
