Another bumble although IDK if he gets Jay at home or not. Likely not! We’re the worst defensive team in the league and do something stupid every night.
Why would you make an off balance throw like that with Dyson at 3rd. You’ve already got a bum shoulder and you can’t even put anything on it to begin with. Just terrible!
Thanks to whoever decided to have a night game on July 4th. It is a very fan friendly idea, if you live in Arizona.
The schedule doesn’t revolve around yours or mine. It’s a fireworks promotion tonight. Plus they had to get a draw because half of Phoenix is in California this week. It appears it worked because it’s a sellout.
I don’t piss and moan when they games start at 4pm my time. That’s just the way it works.
Double by Carperter.
Weak Grounder to SS by Pham
Martinez ahead 2-0 K’s
Ozuna looking like the overrated POS he is K’s
We might strike out 15 times tonight.
Hey if he wouldn’t be making mistake pitches ahead in the count he’d likely still be winning. It’s just as much on him as it is the ump.
Boy you really can here anything when the stadium is half empty in Phoenix. Jack with a couple F bombs!
Flaherty played with fire that inning and he got burned bad. 4-2 on a Goldschmidt 3 run homer.
The 0-2 junk to Ahmed and the HBP on Jay. Ahead in the count to both of those and Goldschmidt.
You know a player doesn’t have to reside year round in the city they play in. I know I wouldn’t.
How many of the Cardinal players make STL their off season home?
I mean I guess you could see how the high crime rate the Ferguson stuff could play into some player decisions but I just think it’s a combo of many things. It was widely known Boston would’ve paid more than we would no matter what. Heyward liked the $$$ and the younger core of talent. Plain and simple Stanton didn’t want to play here and wanted to play in a huge market. What can you do?
The idea of stockpiling talent through the draft and trading it when you need to acquire above average talent is sound. However in the instance of Ozuna it hasn’t worked out like we thought. Trading Piscotty for Schrock and Munoz has sort of worked. Leone clearly was a roster clearing move from a position of depth. The jury is out. Clearly we are better at developing pitching than the true power bat – star position players.
Then there’s the other issues. It’s one step forward and 2 staps back on the FA market. For ever Norris and Mikolas there’s Cecil, Fowler, Leake, Gregorson and the much maligned Greg Holland. You can’t sustain success in making the post season flopping as much as we’ve done recently on FA. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t go after the big fish but we need to make a bigger splash than what we’ve done the last 3 seasons. For the last 3 years you’ve just felt like they done a little bit but not enough. That needs to change moving forward. I always liken it to hedging your bets rather than what we’ve done and go in feeling just ok.
We’ve got a lot of money coming off the books next year. We can get an impact FA or two. It’s really what this team needs not just cost controlled Ozuna, mid level starter $$$$ Mikolas and some junk for the pen. The Greg Holland signing really is still just odd to me how that went down.
So will Jose be in the field because he was PH in the 8th. I would say no but we’ll see.
This is a bad time to experiment. IMO
Whom would you rather have hitting 3rd tonight? Molina? Gyorko? Munoz? Wong?
Anyone but him!
Maybe he homers late to fuel the fire. IDK
28 pitches for Martinez. Only one crosses
Descalso has made himself a nice career in AZ. If he keeps his earnings modest he can play in this league another 4-5 years. He’ll have to play in a offensive driven park to negate the defense. Which to be fair he plays where he’s told to play. Grinder!
Only Matheny would bat a player off the Memphis bus 3rd.
If the offense wants to pad it’s stats then this is the series to do it. Now if they win 2 of 3 is anyone’s guess in doing so.
My fav part of the VEB article.
You want to trade for Nolan Arenado? Hey, I’m all for that. Go all-in on a back of the bullpen upgrade and an expiring contract somewhere? F***. No.
Yeah it can’t be go on a decent streak and then fix the pen. That’s what happened last year. They went 21-15 early and pretty much stunk until august then played well for about month stretch and we did nothing at the August Waiver and then all of a sudden Juan Nicasio falls in our lap. I mean WTF was that exactly?
