Umpires are getting out of control with this power trip shit. Bum apparently complained about a pitch earlier in the inning and this dude 100% was trying to instigate exactly what happened.

Saw this earlier. A different vantage shows the ump staring him down up until the search.

Umpires are loving the limelight this year.

Boone ejections remain hilarious

Not too late to switch from the Astros to the Dodgers, is it? :D

Whoa. Ten game winning streak by the Astros after a rather rocky start.

Be advised, they haven't moved the fence yet, and the Cardinals offense is pretty lousy (one of the worst in baseball in fact).
I rarely watch them, how is their defense? I like pitching, defense and small ball. I'm not really a fan of power hitting.

We have one of the best defenses in baseball. We had 5 gold glovers last season. The team is built on defense and pitching. On offense, we run the bases really well and have a few good hitters (Arenado, Goldy). We play small ball fairly well actually.

When I read this I thought you were shitting me as Goldschmidt/Arenado/O'Neil is a hell of a core, but damn if you're not right. Cards were 20th in runs last year. Arenado seems to be suffering from leaving Coors. OPS down over 100 points....

:lol: No, I speak the truth. Arenado struggled last year, but has been awesome this year. However, the team this year is a bottom 5 offense collectively. O'neill has been absolutely dreadful. His batting average is a mere .200 right now.

I can also throw my hat in the ring as a Giants fan. Fantastic starting pitching, no real stars on offense, lead the league in bunt hits, and don't give 2 shits about the "unwritten rules". The last 2 years have been hella fun. :lol:

If you watch tonight, you can see the Cardinals vs. Giants

I've only been watching baseball for 5 minutes, but I'm seconding the sentiment. Bunts, stolen bases and squeeze plays :drool:

Give me that over the procession of big roidy fella after big roidy fella swinging pieces of wood as hard as they can all day.

That’ll do! Nice gritty performance by Webb tonight without his best swing and miss stuff. Sinker not great either (a lot of fly balls for him!), but he did what aces do. Casali hitting like this may keep Bart on the bench for a bit.

Watch game are folks watching?
Astros to avenge their streak loss or some Yanks and Socks?
Astros of course. Giving the Nats the beating they deserve for breaking the winning streak.

ffs, I was watching that game and turned it off in the 7th or 8th because it was a blowout. Would have watched to the end if I knew I'd have known they were going to give Pujols a go at pitching. :(

EDIT: Video

Bringing that 65mph heat and that sneaky 54mph changeup :drool:
