VS2 booted an easy oller off his toe in CF mid game. Kept the ball in front of him though. Got away with it. I am a less optimistic about his defense but his offense appears to be improving.
Believe He needs to play (start) again to determine his ceiling/floor.
The landscape has changed. Boras does NOT have the influence on the game, clubs, or players that he may have once had or wants everyone to believe he still does
High end players are ignoring him in droves.
Sonny Gray is good enough but expensive.
Ryan Helsley is an asset for a competitor. Use him to (wisely) build.
Keep an affordable Fedde to eat innings. Sell him at the trade deadline if it makes sense.They won’t be (or try to be) next year.
They should sell every expensive asset (most aren’t good) and try to build up organizational depth.
See what they’ve got.
And flush the Mo/Oli taste away after the year. It isn’t working at all.
ok
Oli needs to go. For 2 years he and his staff have failed to make their players better. Period.
ok
August 29, 2024 at 3:15 pm in reply to: 23 year old Quinn Matthews is likely better than Gray #265919Wow! Quinn Matthews hasn’t pitched a game in AAA but is “likely better than Gray”.
The future is bright.
Gray was pretty great today.
I see no clear reason for cutting Armstrong. After a decent stretch from him? Fine…bring up Riley….but cut hait on some expensive flotsam.
Carlson given away for free.

August 27, 2024 at 11:21 am in reply to: StL 2024 Game #132 thread – Tuesday, August 27 vs. Padres #265689Tough to imagine the Cards overcoming this pitching match-up (and lineup). Stranger things have happened. I keep watching- hoping to find some glimmer of hope for the future (beyond Winn) and maybe if I’m honest, for the continued erosion of the poorly conceived roster.
Looks like it has to get worse before it gets better.
August 27, 2024 at 5:12 am in reply to: 23 year old Quinn Matthews is likely better than Gray #265650And a hearty “welcome back!”
August 27, 2024 at 5:11 am in reply to: 23 year old Quinn Matthews is likely better than Gray #265649“What’s to lose?”
Confidence.
Development
Control time.Burly faded. Low .600 OPS since the All Star break. Reverted to Burly.

no
I am concerned that with the descent into mediocrity, that talent (on and of field) won’t want to come here.
And ownership doesn’t pay top talent $$$. They sell the “tradition and baseball heaven” line. Puh-lease.90. Absolutely not happening.
80. About right.
They’re doing everything to show us they are just a .500 team.
Other than Winn and Burleson’s breakout years, this season is completely unremarkable.
August 10, 2024 at 6:06 pm in reply to: StL 2024 Game #118 thread – Saturday, August 10 at KC #263769Scratching my head at this lineup.
But, let’s roll.
Pallante isn’t always great, but generally doesn’t get blown out.
Feeling the short sweep tonight.^^^^
ok

ok
Does Alec Burleson have a younger brother or a cousin with similar physical characteristics?
Or, conversely, one of the top 7 high school prospects.
Exactly. No joking. With the holes in the lineup, inconsistent play from PG and NA, injury of Contreras, Burly has to hit for the Cards to stay relevant.
Hopefully Burly can right the ship. They’ll need him
The Cards have a sufficient quota of unproductive sub .200 hitters.Wow. Burly 0 for Thursday with 2 k’s.
Can’t afford to have that sort of production from our #2 hitter.
