I always like to think guys like Isringhausen and Chris Carpenter are in the back of his mind glaring at him if he doesn't. LOL

@@dirk3k278 me too 😂

It’s Mike maddux.

I watched this live during the pregame show and thought the exact same thing. Waino is so amazing. I’m glad this is on the internet so people can see how great Waino is for years to come.

Exactly

A professional Christian

Pujols is automatic, Molina and Wainwright are borderline but might get in based on their name recognition.

@@seda_11 Molina isn't borderline. Newer metrics are showing he's the best defensive player in the history of baseball topping Ozzie Smith and Brooks Robinson. He's pretty much a lock for the HoF.

I just can not believe those 3 aren't shoe ins... Just my opinion.. I was raised watching McCarver, Shannon, Gibson.. You get it.. These 6 and several more make this ole man from Ms. very proud to be a Cardinal.....

@@seda_11 To say Yadi is borderline is absurd! He is one of the greatest catchers of all time. Career .280 hitter with 9 gold gloves. He will probably be a 1st ballot HOFer.

@@Bigwheel414 If he's a first ballot HOFer it will be mostly on his name and legacy w/ the Cardinals. But I think HOF voters skew towards using bWAR over fWAR, and in that respect he's pretty close to guys like Jason Kendall and Jorge Posada who didn't make the cut. In fact both those guys with similar JAWs fell off the ballot in their first year.

Naw

As a Cardinals fan I totally hope so but idk it’s gonna take some years for sure

@@chiefsfan1381 agreed, I think he’s right on the cusp, but just not quite at Scherzer, Verlander, Kershaw level. But he’s been one of the best of his era for sure though.

@@tyronebiggums1213 Right and if he would help lead the cardinals to another World Series I think he’d get in 😏🤞🏼

Bob Gibson would like a word.

@@tylerbranch2918 Okay, top ten, lol.

Yeah I was confused as well

It was in honor of Fiesta Cardenalas night at the stadium 💃🏾

@@carmkizzle ohhh that makes more sense. Thank you

It was Hispanic night at Busch

@@timkrato8503 oh thx

Yeah, he'll do that to you. He's an incredibly likeable guy.

“Cardinales” is Spanish for Cardinals. MLB teams did this to honor Hispanic Heritage Month.

@@atibbs14 Thank you Andrew T. High energy + High T explanation

Probably why he doesn't throw it that much.

Why because it’s not 100 mph? Did you just ignore the fact that he has three variations of a fastball? 4-seam coming downhill straight, sinker with sudden drop at the plate at the exact same speed, and a 2-seam with arm side movement. I’d love to watch you struggle to square up that “meatball” in the box. Not to mention how funny it would be to watch you buckle time and again to the nasty curveball that literally gave him his nickname. I’m pretty sure he has a cutter too, which is practically a fastball that runs from a righty. That means it might even be four variations of a fastball that go every direction but up, plus a devastating curveball. I would bet a lot of money that you would get sat down 10 out of 10 AB’s you took against Waino.

lol... Big Man has been around a longtime with that Fastball.. Wainwright and Yadi play with hitters heads then mess em up with the 180 curve.. Best I've seen in my 61 years

@@draketimmerman3837 He has a cutter, a 2-seam/sinker and his 4-seam.

Gary…you pitching in the majors? At 40 years of age…2 time World Series champ? Didn’t think so.

Don't watch it then. Problem solved.

Let's go cardinals and the only bias thing was the scoreboard taking 2 out of 3

@@rockin723 calm down your record is still worse than ours in the easiest division in baseball

@@ryanflood2668 11 rings still don't lie

@@ryanflood2668 don't act like the Phillies marlins or nationals are postseason teams you're a 2 horse race like the central is

Agree! It was terrible overall. What is it with playing a recording of the pitcher singing while he pitches in the game? The announcers got more excited about a Cards fly ball out than a Braves homer.
