I watched a recap of the All-Star Game as I had to work, and in that recap the announcer who called Robinson Cano‘s homer yelled “Sweet swingin’ Robbie Cano!” as Cano rounded the bases.

If Mike Leake had been more like the Mike Leake we’d seen much of this year against the Marlins or if Carlos Martinez had been more like himself on Friday, the Cardinals would have managed, with all the problems, angst, and miserable play so far, to reach the All-Star Break at .500. Which isn’t exactly [...]
You know what it’s like when you get your car stuck in mud? You give it some gas, but the wheels just spin. You might inch forward, you might slip backwards. That feels to me like a pretty good description of the 2017 St. Louis Cardinals. They win some games, get some hope built up, [...]

OK, let’s start off with the optimistic view of things. We’ve talked about this week against the Mets and the Marlins and said if they could go 5-2 over this stretch, the Cardinals would enter the All-Star Break at .500.

We talked about last Friday’s game being one of the most enjoyable games to watch this season for the Cardinals. Last night, save for one terrible inning, possibly rivaled it. We said yesterday that Jeff Locke had had his struggles and the Cardinals had done well against him, but I don’t think any of us [...]
