    Great article on the ’64 club. What a crazy season finish!

    This is really amazing. It is so rare to see an owner publicly berate one his own players like this.

    Flaherty is first up for the Dodgers in the NLDS.

    Heard the early rumors on Goldschmidt’s landing spot are Seattle, or (gulp) the Chicago National League club.

    Yeah Flaherty starting G1 of the Dodgers series for the team with the best record in baseball. It is amazing how much better he looked after another off-season to heal his shoulder. He also made some adjustments that I am unsure were just from himself or the Tigers coaching staff.

    I wouldn’t be concerned about Goldy going to the Cubs. It may be a good thing. Goldy will have a fairly large salary still I expect given his pedigree, but he is on the bad side of the aging curve.

    Yeah, Goldy going to the Cubs, if it happens, will be sort of like when Jim Edmonds was there. He will be fairly well along in his production decline years.

    I dont know if this has been talked about but seems ward jordan montgomery is in a pickle. Apparently the gm or whatever pushed to sign him and now is regretting it. May not be gm, not sure. But he has a player option for this year. He didnt pitch good enough to get a lot in free agency and going back would be awkward as well. I think he should get a new agent. Missing spring training due to high asking price didnt help him.

    I think he should get a new agent.

    He fired Boras in April after signing the contract.

    Boras screwed up the contract, no doubt about it. But he didn’t teach Montgomery how to become ineffective. I hope Jordan is taking responsibility for his own results on the mound instead of making excuses.

    Scroll up willie. I posted about how the Dback owner blasted Montgomery in public. A real Steinbrenner move.

    Definitely a surprise that Montgomery pitched so poorly. I can’t imagine that the dragged out contract situation helped. Hopefully for Monty, he pitches better next year. I’d trade Arenado for him. 😃

    Carlson has been a bust. He’s never lived up to the hype.

    I don’t care what Flaherty does for the Dodgers. They did the right thing finally unloading him. He never did much for the Cardinals.

    Flaherty was always healing something.

    I saw where gaylen pitts died. I didnt remember him but he started out in cardinal organization in 1964 but never made it to big leagues, was traded to oakland where he eventually did make a short stint. Became a coach for As organization but eventually came to st louis as a minor league. Torre moved him up with big club but when torre was fired, he got moved back down to AAA. Apparently coached up through the matheny era.

    Only appropriate that 2 ex-cardinals end the ALCS against one another.

    So which one do we miss?

    He was the manager of class A Springfield team in the 80s
