because he can’t do more than walk to first, I’m gonna be pissed.

In my completely worthless medical opinion, the Cardinals are asking for a more serious injury to happen by their refusal to DL him.

Not 1 of the 3 guys to face Beimel took a pitch, I could be wrong, but every pitch but

the HBP to Ank was swung at & from what I was watching, he threw 1 strike. Hal needs to find a new profession or change philosophies, because its not working. I know that the club leads in walks & whatever, or did, but the late inning impatience is killing this team.

Why all the yelling?

I understood he was joking, I just thought it was funny when he said it right before APu went yard. Then, to top it off, I didnt type the right thing. Take it easy, we still have a few games left.

I took it

as Dan using the wrong word. Earlier in the game he was saying the same thing, but was talking about how unnoticed AP’s .350 was. I thought using the word quiet would have been a better word than soft.

Just my take.

I think yes his hrs

have dropped but i think people make way too much of it..hes should still hit 30..we know the arms issue he has..he has still been productive..Production is the issue to me not hrs…how many times in Macs run did I just want the guy to hit a single or sac fly and he K’d trying to hr..plenty..I love em both but at least AP trys to do things other than hr..
