Actually fewer losses is not disingenuous. Losses can’t be made up.
No one cares about run differential. It has zero affect on the standings
For all the whiners and complainers on here do realize only 9 teams (4 NL) have lost fewer games than the Cardinals?
Most people miss half the attendance picture. In MLB road attendance also figures into revenue. I don’t know if this hurts ou helps ( my guess it makes the picture worse) but needs to be considered.
That is not what I saw on GameDay last night. I would say that over 50% of his pitches were off speed and I got the impression that it was his changing speeds that was fooling the opposition.
One thing I liked about Mathews performance is that he went 90 pitches. They aren’t babying him and think he can handle the workload.
I will be disappointed if Mathews doesn’t finish the last month in Springfield
I watched Mathews on GameDay as well. He looked consistently with his fastball at 94-95. Looked like he was changing speeds effectively with his offspeed stuff around 79-83.
Pretty sure he is ready to be challenged at a higher level
Anyone else notice the similarities between Saggese and Colt Keith of the tigers? Both 2020 5th rounders with very similar stats. Keith is nearly a year older and has nearly a full year at AAA and is starting this year in the majors.
The other big difference is Keith signed a big league contract that guarantees him 26 million before he played his first major league game. Would you support that type of contract for Saggese in the off season if he puts up a high .800. OPS at AAA this year?
Not a fair comparison Brian. Teams release prospects ranked in the 30’s and 40’all the time based on organizational needs. And that is where I am talking about O’Brien probably should be ranked.
Can Carpenter play short when Wynn struggles? Lol
Baker and Burlson will suffer development
I think they will be quicker to pull the trigger on cutting Carpenter than other legends. What other legend was playing for minimum salary?
But we could catch lightning in a bottle. Appears Holiday may have recommended the signing
Also who knows with limited exposure how he can perform
It is on Oli if he stupid enough to bat him against a LH
Don’t know how much debt they have but their name and foto archives (if they still own them) would be worth millions
Baur was set up. If MLB colludes against signing him I hope he takes them for $$ 500 million minimum in court
Baur seems like the elephant in the room not even the media wants to talk about. He is possibly a 5 win player for some team. A true #1. Totally ignored by the media. If Flahterty can get $14 million Baur’s floor has to be north of $20 million.
