wally, so will Saggese and Prieto. It will be interesting to see how Saggese and Prieto fit into the Cardinals plans. Both seem “blocked” for the time being.
Shady I agree with you but I believe it will work itself out.I really think the cards are going to be out of it so quickly that they try to trade Goldy and Arenado before the deadline
wally, if that’s the case. Maybe Gorman to 1B, Saggese to 3B and Prieto to 2B. Hopefully, getting some fairly high level, controlled starting pitching for the future for Goldschmidt and Arenado.
If you are a fan who looks at the team objectively you can see that the roster is pitiful and the pobo is totally incompetent and refuses to change his smartest man in the room attitude
Well golly gee whiz, Wally, I tend to look at things a tad differently. I think we have a pretty blasted good mixture of veterans and young talented players with Goldy, Arenado, Contreras, Walker, Gorman, Nootbaar, Winn, Donovan, Herrera, etc.
If that there pitching staff does fairly decently, we might have a pretty darned good season. It’s always fun and enjoyable, IMHO, to envision the possibilities. Just another take on the situation.
I guess we won’t see how Burleson progresses today as he was left out of the starting lineup. (Donovan in LF, Carpenter DH).
Maybe he’ll be a replacement or pinch hit during mop-up time.
Yes it appears that Donovan will be the opening day LFer. Burly and Carp will probably share DH duties, at least until Noot and Edman return.
Correct. And neither one a sure thing.
BOCfan, please list all the current Cardinals that you consider “a sure thing”. I assume you are talking about hitting ability, currently.
Given that this is an overfarmed topic about Alec Burleson, I’ll decline to elongate it off-script.
My response to 1toughdominican stands.
BOCfan, that’s pretty weak. Actually, there aren’t many Cardinals hitters hitting any better than Burleson this spring.
By this time next week spring training will be forgotten. It is what you do in the big show that most people remember.
Shady Typed ~ A clutch hit by Burleson in the ninth. A Saggase double ties it. Those two can really hit.
Saggese got the last out.
Alex Iadisernia doubled in Nick Dunn for the tying run. Oli KNOWS that Burleson likes to get thrown out at HP this season.
Good hit by Burleson off the Nats middle reliever.

agreed, but I would’ve loved to have seen something resembling a pulse from Goldy after his regression last year from the 2022 MVP season. This is concerning, and I think fans have a reason to be concerned. Oli won’t move him out the 2 or 3 spot for LONG time.
t8ball12, on the call, the Cards radio broadcast announcer said it was Saggese who doubled. I just listened to the replay.

Gameday had Iadisernia, followed by Saggese in the lineup. They’ve since changed it.

It is certainly something to monitor although Goldy has been a bit of a slow starter most of his career. He is very streaky. Hopefully he will eventually put up big numbers since it is his walk year.
