Now that Urshela is out, he gets moved to the 60 day IL to open up a 40 man spot, who replaces him?

Man, the infield looks so dreadful compared to two weeks ago. 

Can't have the team over look the Royals.  Gotta play with the same intensity that they did in Texas.

Bummer about Urshela, but he was performing just a small tick above league average.

Hopefully that can be replaced without much hassle.

His complete lack of power was really concerning. 

Angels had Heaney on the ropes early, unfortunate they couldn't get a hit, would've been a different ball game.

Skimming a somewhat clickbaity MLB.com article about the Cards possibly moving Goldschmidt, with the Angels listed as a potential destination.

If St. Louis really was open to it, sure would make a lot of sense. He doesn’t have a huge commitment remaining for salary, gives Angels some Trout/Ohtani insurance this year and next, immediately fills a need at 1B.

Angels could conceivably part with guys like Quero or any of the IF prospects now with Neto seemingly locking in SS, one of Adams, Adell, or Moniak, and have decent enough pitching depth to part with some guys there. Jack Flaherty would be a solid SP addition too, and being local, a feasible extension candidate (if not already a possible off-season target?)…I would be real hesitant, but Detmers would be big on their wish list given his St. Louis history too. 

What I’m saying is that we match up well, at the very least, for both teams’ wants and needs.

If the Cardinals decided to do this, they need to do it this season.  He'll have 10/5 veto rights at the end of this season. 

Wow, Neto! Dude is amazing.  Future 20/20 guy.

This ump has been terrible for both teams, can't complain.

I hope I'm wrong, he's going to the Dodgers.  Ohtani wants to win, he loves SoCal, and he's going to get paid. 

I think MLB will drop the suspension after appeal and just fine him.  It was a super egregious call in a pivotal spot.

Whoa, Loup was kinda decent?  Defense didn't help him.

Wow, unexpected!

Fuck yea Shohei!!!!

Wow no screw job from the umps this time.

Is it just me or does Adell look absolutely jacked now?  Dude looks like he gained 20 lbs of muscle, especially his legs.  His base just seems more thick. 

I sure hope Neto's power develops.  He can easily be a 20/30 player.  Don't have too many of those around anymore. 

Ward is sick and Adell still can't get playing time. 

Sports articles 3 years from now.  Which SP contract is worse, Stratsburg or DeGrom?

It seems like Ohtani never strikes out on a "strike".   Always balls way out of the zone. 

If I'm a pitcher, I wouldn't throw him a strike at all.  He seems to be hacking at anything and everything right now. 

Damn that was close.  Great throw by Renfroe

That's why Ward is playing

Wow 1 Rbi single, you sure convinced me that it was the right decision from Nevin.  You can make poor decisions and have a good outcome, it happens all the time in life.

I suspect Nevin is trying to “reward” Ward and hope he stays hot here. 
 

We need him and Moniak to be playing well all summer. 

Moniak has been playing well, provides better defense in the OF, and has a platoon advantage.  I just don't understand playing Ward over Moniak right now.

Is Nevin punishing Moniak for that drop last week?  I don't know why he's putting Ward over him right now.

Damn that was a hanger that Trout obliterated. 

Just when I thought Anderson has started to figure it out, he does this.
