Rats, we have really good content here on our homepage. This ran a week ago today.
Lots of fish fries in the St. Louis area this time of year. Cod, catfish and jack salmon along with macaroni and cheese cole slaw etc. Our favorite is Epiphany Parish in the city not far from our old house. I can skate cheap and still eat like a king. Can’t hardly get a better deal than an old fashioned church fish fry on a Friday this time of year.
We don’t need another shortstop right now. If Masyn gets injured (as opposed to some expected and reasonable muscle soreness and tightness at the beginning), then things change. If you want to exchange Fermin for an upgrade, ok, but Gamboa is MLB-ready. His swing has holes, but he can hit. He has some thump and is a pure shortstop.
The roster is wonky, and AAA ss is weaker than the MLB level. We have about 11 2nd basemen and two shortstops at the top levels.Is Donovan recovered from his arm problem? Will he be able to throw the ball and play in the field at the start of the season?
From a few days ago:
#STLCards CF Tommy Edman will miss the first full team workout because of a stomach bug, Oli Marmol said. Dylan Carlson (ankle surgery) is limited with his running, while Brendan Donovan (elbow surgery) will have his throwing monitored. Donovan is likely to stick at 2B for now.

Top #STLCards prospect Tekoah Roby has been scratched from his scheduled start on Monday because of back tightness. Sem Robberese, who came over in the Jordan Hicks trade in July, will now start on Monday against the #Marlins. @MLBPipeline

Oh crap Bling! Did the season start? I was looking forward to six or seven weeks of spring, and I missed the whole thing.
per Denton. #STLCards starting pitchers in the days ahead: RHP Sonny Gray (Tuesday), RHP Miles Mikolas (Wednesday), RHP Kyle Gibson (Thursday) and LHP Matthew Liberatore (Friday).
Maybe Roby will piggyback at some point, but he hasn’t been reschedued as a headliner as of yet.
I get the need to acknowledge the paper, but why can’t he keep his mouth shut until at least the month of March? One of the countless reasons that I don’t like the guy is that he doesn’t seem to have the ability to control what he says or when he says it.
The Cardinals’ zero homers is good for sole possession of last place in home runs hit in ST games so far.
I wonder if Mikolas is raw that he’s not the opening day starter? If guess he’s probably not but you never know about a man’s ego.
I doubt it too. I’ve read that Miles was in favor of a larger veteran presence in the clubhouse. Will a vet CY-2 from last season do? I’d bet Miles understands the trickle down effect, and endorses it.
I don’t understand why some take exception to the manager naming the clearly best pitcher on the team as the opening day starter. The calendar seemed to make that clear…
I get that some do not like the manager, but this particular criticism feels like a stretch to me.
ICYMI, the #stlcards gave Brandon Crawford his no. 35, worn for all 13 years with the Giants. Jose Fermin shifted to no. 15, last worn by Brad Miller in 2020.

I don’t understand why some take exception to the manager naming the clearly best pitcher on the team as the opening day starter.
I reject any suggestion that Marmol got to decide if the the new $75M pitcher starts on opening day.
So the original poster incorrectly blamed Marmol for a decision you believe he did not make…
Of course you completely ignore the only question that matters. What is wrong with the decision to start your best pitcher?
Surely there is something else of significance to discuss. This ain’t it.
