Monday, May 20th

Happy Monday on this bittersweet week for me. You’ll be joined by STLCardinals Covering the Bases the next couple days as I’m celebrating our son’s high school graduation. It was a long weekend with a graduation party with family and friends and all kinds of emotions. Rather than getting too sentimental here, I’ll give you some parenting wisdom in the form of Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey:

“Children need encouragement. So if a kid gets an answer right, tell him it was a lucky guess. That way, he develops a good, lucky feeling.”

“The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.”

OK, let’s look at some Monday night baseball. We’ve got an eight-game slate that looks to be leaning in favor of the pitching. I’ve got a list of nine pitchers to start whittling down from, so let’s dive in.

Monday Night Pitching

We’ve got a pitching heavy slate that features several favorable matchups for good pitchers. We’ve got nine pitchers that I see who deserve a look tonight. I’m going to narrow this list down by a couple based on matchup, but everyone here can be on the multi-entry tournament list.

Patrick Corbin at Mets
Chris Paddack vs Diamondbacks
