Wainwright and Molina set an all time MLB record tonight.
-
Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina set the MLB all time record for most wins by a battery tonight in the game against SF. Wainwright and Molina notched their 203 victory as a battery. This moved them ahead of Warren Spahn and Del Crandall who had 202 wins from 1949-63
I don't expect a Topps Now card for either player but I am hoping SDS can at least acknowledge the accomplishment with a Topps Now moment. It's not every day, shoot it is not even every season that we see all time records fall, even the more obscure ones.
Next up is the all time record for most starts by a battery which they will set if they have 14 more starts together this season.
These are records that I don't expect to be beaten again, at least in my lifetime. Players just move too often these days.

Whoopy doo.
It's a wonder why Albert was pitching in the ninth and got so much praise. Didn't he give up a bunch of runs?
-
The Molina brothers are legendary.

Because it was a blowout. It was 15-2 when they let him pitch. Fun for the team, fun for the fans (since it was a home game) and it allowed at least one of their bullpen pitchers to have a day of rest.
Why the praise? Because it was Albert Pujols pitching.

Longo asking for the ball after he got a hit. LOL. Good Stuff.

We need a dual Waino Yadi program to get both as milestones

I missed that. I just went and found the clip. That was great. It will be a very rare group of people who can say that they got a hit off Pujols. And Longo can say that he is the first one to do so.

That would be nice. With the retirement of Ryan Zimmerman, Molina and Waino are #1 and #2 on the longest tenured players in MLB. They made their debuts with the Cardinals in 2004 and 2005. They set an all time MLB record last nigh and are in a position to set another one later this season.

I thought it was great Albert came back to the Cards for his final season.
-
I do not like the Cardinals but much respect to Molina and Waino.

Albert, I believe, is the longest active player but tenured implies that the player played continuously for a single team.

Saw the game in Chicago in ‘04 Cards came back from being down 6-0. Pujols went 5-5 with 3 bombs. I’ll remember that forever!
-
The Braves have traded some great young prospects through the years, I think Wainwright was the biggest mistake. Though I would have loved to see what Jermaine Dye could have done with the Braves.
Then there is Atlanta trading for Kevin Gausman and giving up on him after a year. But I digress.

Hope they enjoy the record. Smarter and less sentimental GMs would have let Yadi go years ago.

And yet somehow the Cardinals are in the playoffs more often then not. What a dumb GM.

They have not brought anyone up who could easily surpass him, definitely not his defense and knowledge of the pitchers and the game.
Their top catching prospect over the years has been Carson Kelly. Look at his offensive numbers this year compared to Molina.

Wasn’t Kelly part of the Goldy deal? I’d rather have Molina and Goldy than Kelly and Matt Carpenter.

Yeah, Kelly and Weaver were the main pieces, with Andy Young
