I know there has been a-lot of negativity lately surrounding the team. [Here is a feel good story about a local kid getting the opportunity to live out his childhood dream tonight.](https://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/media-views-tom-ackerman-to-call-cardinals-games-this-weekend-on-bally-sports-midwest/article_13304fbe-eab1-11ed-8c1a-afad86f48eae.html) Hopefully he can bring the team some luck.
Finally, an even matchup
Baseball!
Come on Yepez light our fire
I hope Yepez channels all the wisdom he learned from Pujols and hits 12 home runs tonight.
Stop. Starting. Knizner!
Dejong and Kizner in the starting lineup is certainly a choice. I guess I can get behind it with a lefty though?
Motter still being with the team baffles me
# .346/.370/.654
Just saw a Khalil Green shirsey being worn at the grocery store. Wild shit.
If Andrew Knizner starts, does that mean the DH is really nonexistent for us?
Yepez is the devil magic we need, but definitely don’t deserve
Sup birbs
I have posted on this forum how all backup catchers are terrible, but I’ve changed my mind re: Knizner. They’d be better off calling Molina and asking him if he’d take a backup role. Or calling up Herrera. Or seeing if DeJong can catch. Anything.
Good thing Monty is starting. Wait till we fix Baez tomorrow though.
So why the fuck is the MLB free game of the day blacked out? For someone living in…Kentucky.
Why do we start both catchers so often?
Do the pitchers not like Willson? Or does he have hemorrhoids that prevent him from squatting?
I’m done. Why the fuck is Andrew Knizner starting. Contreras is our catcher
Right now, in the afterlife of your choosing. Jack Buck and Mike Shannon are doing a pre-game show, and Mike Shannon just turned to Jack and said…
“The Cardinals, Jack. Off to their worst start in 50 years.”
Apparently the Rays have a Randyland area where if he hits a Homerun they get a free beer
over/under on Yepez turning into mini-albert for real this year? under definitely seems more likely, but man it’s fun to imagine
I just spilled ketchup and mustard on my shirt and the game hasn’t even started yet
I can’t think of anything more appropriate for going to a 2023 cardinals game
EMT called to the red Sox bullpen. Don’t know if it’s a player or fan
I have a friend that faithfully watches the Reds year after year. I figure if he can do that I can support my cardinals
Ron Darling, Talking about the Arenado trade and how the Rox went with KB, called KB a “really good player.” Wait, why the fuck am I watching the Mets broadcast
Let’s go Redbirds!!
If tonight starts going bad, we should just start quoting dumb and dumber
pls birbs 🙏
Is this the day the Cardinals win an opening game to a series? 0-10 so far. Terrible.
