Lose.  Can’t win ’em all.

Win

Win.

Zimmermann throws a complete game with only 91 pitches.

Number-3-and-number-5-turning-into-number-1-and-number-2-I-mean-the-best-not-pee-and-poop troupe.

Poor Anthony Rendon  Not-sure-if-new-guy-can-make-it-in-the-big-leagues troupe.

He didn’t play today. That’s my point.

It was probably the quickest game of the season, with both pitchers working efficiently, and a 1-0 score.

Finally, a solid win.  This was fun, glancing at my phone while updating next year’s work schedule. Gio was on his game, through 8 innings!  They were able to string a bunch of extra base his together.

Espinosa (who has his own troupe in this drama) hit his first homer of the year. Span contributed. Werth earned some of his outrageous salary. Harp got another homer under his belt. 

The only guy who hasn’t stepped up yet is LaRoche. He went 0 four 4 today. Only reaching base on what would have been a double play, but Werth got himself hit with the throw. More about him later.

The biggest troupe is one I’m afraid to explore, but as time inevitably ticks on, I will be forced to… Is this the start of a turnaround, or merely a statistical blip? Even the suckiest teams win a game every once in a while. Is this a temporary respite or a return to what I want?

Desire, another troupe.

Crap.

Ps, missed the last inning (and Span’s two run triple) because the cell service at the place where Angel’s trash meet was was crap too.

I didn’t know it was a day game, so I wasn’t completely pissed when my Cardinal-fan coworker walked into my office and handed me a broom.

It’s only April. It’s only April.

We are under 500 for the first time since 2011.

This blog thing isn’t as much fun as I thought it would be, back when we were world series contenders.

Top of the eighth, two on, nobody out. Nats down 2-0.   Pitcher walks the last batter on 4 pitches.  Jayson Werth has a 3-0 count.

That is all.

He swings at ball 4, grounding into a double play.
