September 8, 20223 yr Wow! What a win that was. Nats probably should have been in no doubles there, but I will take it.

September 15, 20223 yr 325. Not many records that can never be broken. But this is one. Edited September 15, 20223 yr by pops
September 15, 20223 yr That’s fucking insane in this day and age of a pitcher maybe starting 30 games a season if they’re lucky plus constant attrition. Nevermind the century old practice of giving the catcher a day or two a week off of work. Wow. Had no idea. What a cool record for them To set. Being from Chicago; fuck the cardinals. But much respect on this particular record.
September 15, 20223 yr My sis and one of her sons went to that game. She said it was just about the loudest crowd she's ever heard at Busch Stadium. 16 seasons, 325 starts, 213 wins. Unreal.
September 15, 20223 yr 213 wins too? .655 winning percentage when those two just have one pitch together to start the game? Fucking amazing. Why I love this game. Had no idea it was gonna happen/did happen until this thread and between last night and this morning, been down a buncha baseball rabbit holes. It's not just the longevity and success of the two players, and how 5 and even 6 man rotations are the norm plus catcher rest, but that two guys played for the same club for so long. Free agency alone will cause this to never happen again, ever. And to go 213-112 together, that's insane. 325 of his 387 starts came with the same catcher? And Wainwright pretty much missed three full seasons, I dunno what to say. I only took notice of it to see where Pujols stood on 700. But a tip of my cubs cap to these two cards.
September 17, 20223 yr 17 games to get 2 bombs. I assume he's greenlit to play every single inning? Here's to 2 more Tio Albert. You and the game deserve it.

September 18, 20223 yr Running from third and you’re in the fair line grass, get hit with the ball from 3b to Catcher in fair territory and your safe. Explain to me?

September 18, 20223 yr why is this not the same as catcher to 1B with runner in the grass Its 230 here and liquor

Although it's called the Knickerbocker rule, my baseball-as-religion belief is that like many things in the game...it is based on the holy trinity. So much of the game is based on 3's. As such...Thirty yards.

No more Pink Whitney’s I mean this article isn't referencing the play you are questioning. The runner did get hit. But there are different rules home to first and third to home. The baserunner can establish his own line as long as he isn't avoiding the tag. This was a throw. Not a tag. It was great baserunning. Bad defense. And completely legal.
September 20, 20223 yr Someone learn me on this fucker. Yankee Twitter made it sound like he was literally a dead person when we traded Monty for him, so it’s shocking to see him actually play this year.
September 21, 20223 yr Author I think we're locked into 3rd. Who do we want in the wild card series, Padres or Phillies? Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like Wheeler and Nola always kill us, so I don't want the Phillies. Edited September 21, 20223 yr by Beau Vine

September 26, 20223 yr Despite the insiputable truth that the Cardinals are second only to the Yankees in World Series titles, despite the long history of players joining the club and testifying to the greatness of the local baseball vibe, "baseball" writ large will continue to assert that St. Louis is just another fanbase, no better, no worse, no more intelligent or devoted than any other. And "baseball" would be wrong. St. Louis is the best baseball city on the planet, and not by any small margin.
