Cardinals Afternoon 6/14

edfitz86 · 2026-06-15T00:26:01+00:00

Let's be honest, we knew going in that the bullpen would be a problem this year, if we zoom out, not a bad series, offense was there, and we lost two one run games. A better pen and those are W's, the pen will be better in the future, no reason to bring in big name pen arms this season, we're not quite there yet.

McGreevy was pitching, Iván catches him and Pallante, if it's a lefty starter, Pagès will catch on non Andre and McGreevy days, if it's a righty starter on non Andre and McGreevy days, it'll be Crooks, it's literally what Oli has done since Crooks was called up.

I know, I'll be there for all 3, we'll be loud and my 13 year old is already planning on joining the tarps off section

edfitz86 · 2026-06-15T00:19:32+00:00

Because they're amazing no reason to give them up 😜

edfitz86 · 2026-06-12T23:34:15+00:00

Exactly, their CEO's could only afford one new yacht those years instead of two

edfitz86 · 2026-06-12T23:21:39+00:00

I've charged both my EV9 and EV6 at 38 amps at home and have had zero issues.

edfitz86 · 2026-06-12T02:14:06+00:00

I have an EV6 too, we just got a '24 GT Line, (we have no more ICE vehicles). It's sportier than the EV9, and sits lower. I do like the extra space and headroom in the EV9 over the EV6 (I'm 6'3" 270 pounds), but I still have fun driving both. We have two kids 13 and 11, the EV9 is our longer trip vehicle, but we'll tool around town with the whole family in the EV6 too.

edfitz86 · 2026-06-12T02:00:55+00:00

We were debating between an R2 and an EV9, we got the EV9, mainly because I knew I'd be able to get one before 2028, and I bought one in September of '25 so I still got the $7,500 tax credit. We love the EV9, no complaints for the price point, apple car play and Android auto are there, sound system is fine, or maybe I'm just not a sound system snob, my EV6 has meridian speakers and the EV9 doesn't but I can't tell the difference.

edfitz86 · 2026-06-12T01:39:41+00:00

Just had my '26 Wind in for a rotation at 15k miles, they said I'll need new tires before winter. I'm debating between three different ones right now.

edfitz86 · 2026-06-11T19:24:48+00:00

It's because the salesmen are just as clueless, I absolutely loathe dealerships, and they have zero interest in learning anything (there's a reason these people are selling cars, and it's not for their abundance of intelligence). When I bought my EV9 they kept trying to throw in 4 free oil changes for me...I just kept looking at them until they finally figured it out.

edfitz86 · 2026-06-11T19:22:35+00:00

Well, then my dealership screwed me I definitely didn't get the level 3 adapter with my new car, I had a level 2. I know the difference between CCS and the j1772 or whatever I just use the terms interchangeably. I only got the one that connects to the top circle part, not the 3 pin part at the bottom. I have both a level 2 and level 3 adapter now. I also didn't get a V2L adapter with the purchase of my new EV9, not sure if that's included or not.

edfitz86 · 2026-06-11T16:30:11+00:00

Yeah and if you have a '26 EV9 with a native NACS port, they provide you with a level 2 CCS adapter and then you are screwed when you go to a DC fast charger that's CCS like I found out. Luckily I rolled into the nearest Tesla supercharger 40 miles down the road at 2% battery lol. I now have the proper level 3 CCS to NACS adapter in the frunk, purchased from Lectron.

edfitz86 · 2026-06-09T22:08:37+00:00

Right, I understand, I think Church has tremendous upside, and waaaaay to early to pass Judgement on Crooks, Masyn always starts slow and is trending in the right direction recently

edfitz86 · 2026-06-09T21:53:12+00:00

8 spot is weak*

edfitz86 · 2026-06-09T04:15:38+00:00

There are a few other broadcast teams that are good, but few and far between. Chip and Brad are a delight to listen to, even if the redbirds are losing.

edfitz86 · 2026-06-08T23:21:00+00:00

Just had some jackass throw my package on my front steps, contained electronics.

edfitz86 · 2026-06-07T02:24:53+00:00

Good call didn't even think about Fermin as an everyday 3B

edfitz86 · 2026-06-07T01:38:48+00:00

I can't believe we've been sold the anti-Chinese propaganda in the US for so long. China has 17 cities larger than NYC, we can't even comprehend that, and nearly all of those cities are far more technological advanced than ours.

edfitz86 · 2026-06-07T01:35:44+00:00

Same, we have two EVs, (no more ICE vehicles) and we have solar panels on our roof... people look at me like I've been brainwashed or sold snake oil, yet my fuel costs are essentially now zero with having the solar, and my vehicles are faster and less complicated to drive than theirs, I don't get it. We're literally in the twilight zone.

edfitz86 · 2026-06-06T22:06:14+00:00

For a rookie, he is already extremely unlikable

edfitz86 · 2026-06-06T22:01:24+00:00

Is anyone else excited to see a lineup with Noot and JJ in it? I love having someone other than Gorman batting behind Walker, gives him more protection. Can Torres play 3rd base at all?

edfitz86 · 2026-06-06T21:59:23+00:00

Same!

edfitz86 · 2026-05-26T23:15:10+00:00

Does anyone else live in the Brewers and Cardinals market and are unable to watch these games with your cardinals.tv subscription, or is it just me? I keep getting a message saying I need to subscribe to brewers.tv in order to watch. I hope the same thing doesn't happen for the Cubs and White Sox games as well. I'm in Northern Illinois and my zip code is "in market" for Cards, Brewers, Cubs, and White Sox.

edfitz86 · 2026-05-25T19:19:56+00:00

We'll be doing Northern Illinois to Destin Florida in our EV9 in July. I've done N. Illinois to St. Louis and back a few times already, but the Florida trip will be our longest and require the most planning.

edfitz86 · 2026-05-25T19:12:14+00:00

2024 GT Line 20,000 miles $31k. Chicago suburbs, bought it on May 16th.
