    If Mikolas is even the number three starter next season it’s going to be tough to contend.

    Dude has a 4.5+ ERA and that’s just not good enough – or maybe it is now for the Cardinals?

    I don’t know what the FO is thinking if Mikolas is the plan for #3.

    The guys are not doing anything good with any regularity, Wooster. Its a horrible product BDW is trying to sell these days.

    One of the radio guys was saying this crowd in Philly is the biggest Masyn has ever played in front of.

    8 hits in 5 innings tonight. Didn’t look to me like he was really into it tonight. Schwarber with a dinger off Suarez.Its getting really ugly now for Suarez.

    We complained about Goldschmidt hitting at the 2 spot, but you wonder why the Phillies hit Schwarber at 1? Good power, but not much else. Seems like a better 6 or 7 hitter than lead off.

    Suarez getting hammered, but Mikolas with another bad start pretty much sealed this one in the loss column.

    He is their plan for their #1

    Winn giving us a glimpse of the future. He is going to make a play at some point in the next year where we will see a highlight of a 97 MPH throw.

    I think I’m sorry I got up in the middle of the night to watch this one.

    Not only a loser but Brad Thompson’s nonstop blather is driving me nuts.

    Well, I guess we are finding out who we do NOT want on the roster next season.

    Rojas takes me back to the former Phillie, and briefly Cardinal Cookie Rojas. You can make a pretty good team of Cardinals-Phillies (guys who played on both teams):

    C Tim McCarver
    1b Bill White
    2b Cookie Rojas
    SS Dick Groat
    3b Richie Allen
    Lf Lonnie Smith
    Cf Bake McBride
    Rf Del Ennis
    P Steve Carlton
    P Larry Jackson
    P Pete Alexander
    P Rick Wise
    P John Denney

    After this season he will have four losing seasons in a row. Why they keep extending this guy is beyond me. I’m not sure the front office knows anything about baseball. I just shake my head at some of their moves. I have zero confidence that they will improve the team for next year.

    I’ve been trying to get into the radio broadcasts, but not having much luck so far. Got spoiled by Jack and Mike, I guess. Ricky Horton is not happnin for me.

    5 hits for us. Lot of 0fers again. Relief pitching gave up 2 runs right off the bat. Typical game for us-only problem is other guys got 7 runs. Honestly we looked like patsys at the plate. Such is our destiny this year?

    Mikolas is a #5 at this point….great deal signing him to 20 mill plus for the next few years….at some point Dewitt needs to wake up and see the pitching decisions by the Front Office brain trust have been a disaster

    ZTR, agree on MM as the guy is terrible. Classic Mo mistake giving him that extension and now have to look at him again in 24.
