    Is Martinez ever going to live up to his hype/billing???

    In my mind 2018 will be a pivotal year for him. Not sure what his contract status is but if its another sub-par year for him in 2018, well, why would we stick with him???

    tip your cap folks…that was pretty amazing by Broxton… I think he deserves the save more than the pitcher

    The Cards are right back to where they started, at .500. Just 5-10 since the eight-game winning streak with seven on the West Coast next.

    Worst of all outcomes against the Brewers. Would rather have lost 2 than split.

    Too bad our low ranked prospect one trick pony struck out twice with runners on base. I’m sure next time he will hit a grand slam in the same situation.

    I would love to see blue hair Martinez traded this off season for a couple of good players. Throw him into a deal for Stanton as a matter fact His throwing water in guys faces has gotten really tedious. Cards can sign a good free agent pitcher this winter. Unload this under achiever before it is too late.

    wagee, I would consider it for Trout or Arenado. Maybe Freeman. Not sure if I would for very much more.

    Best to not be sarcastic, but root for Voit to do well along with all other players on the active roster.

    Martinez is a pitcher with a million dollar arm, and a 10 cent head. I’m in with those who are tired of his immature behavior. He’s a guy that doesn’t show up half of the time, anyway. I wouldn’t mind trading him as long as we can find an adequate replacement.

    The Cubs are crushing the Pirates, which will push the Cards to six games back in the division. Their biggest deficit was 6 1/2 out, just before and after the All-Star break. They are 5 1/2 back of the second wild card.

    Would look for the addition of a third baseman this off season. Gyrorko is better in a super sub role. If Wisdom could only work on his OBP and K rate.

    Where does this myth come from that Gyrko would be better as a utility guy? One of the best defensive 3rd basemen in the league. Hitting well enough to justify 3B. (Much better than the desired Frazier or even Longoria).

    Bccran, what evidence do you have that he is better in a super sub role?

    Carioca,
    I agree with your line of thinking. However, I tend to agree he is better off as a sub and that we need to find a better everyday 3rdbaseman. After all, Giancarlo Gyorko is a career .244 hitter. That’s .244.
