wacha back from DL and straight to the bullpen. jaime might be joining him as well

best case for Mets is they split their 4-gamer with Giants while Mets beat up Twins

this problem could have been avoided by playing kolten wong at a position he's actually good at (2B), moving carpenter to 3B, and benching a player who has been worth 0.9 fWAR this year (peralta)

Wong trying to fix his divots after that play was pretty funny.

OK I haven't even read this yet but:
"This is part one of a three-part series delving into three different elements of Mike Matheny’s management — in-game tactics, player usage and rest, and prospect development — and why the Cardinals retaining him for 2017 is a mistake." [emphasis mine]

oooh votto just got clocked in the chin with a one-hopper from the left fielder as he was sliding into second, stretching a single into a double. has a nice laceration and not too happy about being forced to leave the game

another example of the cardinals not playing the game the right way imo

I think we can all agree that the next batter definitely would have driven in the winning run anyway, so no big deal.

surprised to see that joe west was not part of the umpire crew

No option year for Holliday. He was a great part of the team, but it was the right decision.

totally willing to give you this game fwiw

Chad Kuhl is listed as the Pittsburgh starter for tomorrow.

oh never mind that was today! sorry.

frustrating year for sure. the demise of Wacha being the worst part imo. Diaz/Reyes the best.
but still being in the race on the last day in what seemed like a bridge year going into is decent.
other things learned: giving a flexible lineup to a challenged manager is not a great plan. less platoons/throw 5 mediocre players at one position in 2017, please.

yadi and waino up for the gold glove again
http://i.imgur.com/ZwP02Nx.gif
yadi doesn't deserve it. :( his pitchframing still looks good and i'm sure his gamecalling is great, but his arm is gone. his caught stealing was 21% this year, i think? way down from previous years, and it seemed like as the year went on more and more teams starting realizing they could basically steal at will on him.
