The #STLCards Double-A affiliate, the Springfield Cardinals, were sadly defeated by the Amarillo Sod Poodles while attempting to win two straight Texas League Championships. However, we did get this atomic blast and legendary bat smash from the insanely talented 19-year-old Rainiel Rodriguez.

Herrera sneaking up on Walker; probably not enough time to catch up.

While I'm pontificating on the #stlcards, if there is a God, then next season, Jim Hayes will either be relegated to the pre and post game shows or employed elsewhere, opening the way for Dani Wexelman to become the full-time field reporter. She's just so much better at it than Cat.

That's a winner! Cards top the Pirates 5-1 for their 77th win. One more victory and they'll tie last year's win total. Four games left! #STLCards

Also? He's a shitty baserunner. He went to the Nolan Arenado bad baserunning for dummies school. #stlcards

It would be nice if the #stlcards announcers could figure out how to talk about baseball next year.
