Cardinals After Dark 8/26

1. So… who’s up for Ted Drewes??

2. You know, whether they deserve it or not, that other announcers are noticing [how empty Busch Stadium is](https://x.com/theredbird_way/status/1828220820797505667?s=46&t=MCRmVoXjskWw3F53QZFuGQ) makes me sad.

   What has happened to this franchise is awful.

3. So 3 of our hitters got 3 hits each, and everyone else essentially quiet quit?

4. Offense looked decent but Gibby was really struggling with command

5. Shildt is a gentleman and a pro who doesn’t toss others under the bus unlike current leadership, but I wished he torched the bridge by bashing Mozeliak in a press conference. 

6. When your professional best writer is tweeting about how empty your stadium looks, it’s embarassing. Especially when your team name is the cardinals and not the As

7. Maybe its me, but it seems like whenever we put someone in the 4th or 5th spot they stop hitting.

8. I gave up watching weeks ago. Still check score every night. I think I’m at the point where I’m not going to do that anymore. This season is over

9. Hello darkness my old friend…

10. I bought tickets to the build-a-bear day on stubhub. Right behind home on the 3rd base side. I was stoked I got them for $25 fees included. I looked today and nearby tickets were $19. I couldn’t believe it. The demand has cratered.

11. This loss is on Gibson.

12. Damn dude that sucked

13. On the plus side, Shildt burned his two best relievers on what was not that close of a game. Scott and Suarez pitched yesterday as well. So we likely won’t see them tomorrow and maybe Wednesday.

    There has been criticism of him in SD for using them too much. There was a video of him arguing with a reporter saying that he wished the games weren’t so close and he wouldn’t have to, but this is a case when it wasn’t so close

14. Mike Schildt.

15. “Alec Burleson singles to score Masyn Winn and the Cardinals cut the lead to 3”

    — a Gameday update that defines a season

16. Shildt’s Padres will be easy to root for in the playoffs.

17. Denton posting on twitter that WC might miss as few as three weeks with a fractured finger.

    Dunno, kind of feels like they should shut him down and let Pages/Herrera play.

18. At least after this szn we know who our 1/2/3 hitters will be

19. Winn, Burly, and Donny fuck. Otherwise

    ehhhh?

20. Paul Dejong would be one of, if not, the best bat in the Cardinals lineup this year. Let that sink in.

21. Padres broadcast stunned at how quiet and empty Busch is.
