THAT'S A WINNER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cardinals beat the Pirates 4-2 and even up this series...................
Sonny Gray with 7 strong innings......got off to a rough start allowing the first 2 batters to reach base , but shut that down with 3 straight K's............had 9 K's for the game .....we needed him to have a strong outing tonight and escape the cellar.......
Arenado had a strong game on defense and at the plate........
I'm still concerned about Goldschmidt.......25 rbi's in 66 games is confounding , but his bat speed is slower and pitch selection to swing at is a big concern........
Donovan is a professional hitter and a great defensive player no matter where you play him.......
Mitch Keller is a stud and we need to bring our A game tomorrow at 1:15 pm........
LET'S GO CARDINALS.......................

A rocky start centered Cardinals’ Sonny Gray and he kept his word. ‘Practice what you preach.’
After making a pledge to his catcher and coach, Gray reset and bulldozed through the Pirates for nine strikeouts through seven innings in a 4-2 victory Wednesday.

Tommy Edman (wrist surgery): Switch-hitter is taking batting practice from both sides of the plate, and he participated batting practice on the field with teammates for the first time Tuesday. Edman's workout is similar to how his teammates prepare for games with coach-pitch batting practice, and he will advance from these workouts to pitching machine and higher velocities. Internally, the Cardinals are expecting the return of their center fielder around the All-Star break. John Mozeliak, the team's president of baseball operations, told attendees of the Cardinals' annual "Blogger Day" that Edman is expected to return before the end of this month. Updated June 11

‘We’ve got a lot of dogs’: Cardinals bullpen shows how deep goes its bite in tight win
Without Ryan Helsley to close and almost five innings to cover, young relievers shined, and Chris Roycroft snagged his first MLB win in 4-3 victory vs. Pirates.
Brendan Donovan anticipated Mitch Keller's next move. He didn't miss: Cardinals Extra
To cap a productive homestand, Brendan Donovan belted a solo home run off Pirates starter Mitch Keller to help the Cardinals to a 4-3, series-clinching win.

Mozeliak States Cardinals Intend to Buy at Deadline

When Edman and Nootbar come back, center field and left field will be solidified. But here is some perspective from years past. From 2009-2016 Matt Holliday's RBI stats were as follows;
2009: 105 Split between St. louis and Oakland
2010: 103
2011: 75
2012: 102
2013: 94
2014: 90
2015: 35
2016: 35
Halliday averaged 80 RBIs over this time period even with the last 2 years of 35.
Tommy Edman's career high RBI total is 57 and Lars Nootbar's career high is 46. We are not seeing the revival of murderers row when they return.

Even with how bad this season has been, the Cards are tied for the last wildcard spot. But still, 5 teams within 1.5 games, including 3 in the Central division.
Agree,but Noot-Edman much improved over current options.Cards have needed RH hitting center fielder all year.Siani 4 for 40 against lefties,Carlson needs to go IMO.
I believe I said that in my first sentence.

Just like one would draw it up, Pages with a big fly.Is it just me or is it absolutely insane that we have both Pages and Herrera in the line up?

I guess we know why Pages is playing! Thought for sure that was going to be brought back by the wind.Is it just me or is it absolutely insane that we have both Pages and Herrera in the line up?
