I love the secret message you hid in your concession post “Mo to add cheap bargain reliever in August.”
June 26, 2022 at 4:41 pm in reply to: 2022 Cardinals MLB Game 75 thread – Sunday, June 26 vs. Cubs #189300Win one for the team. Or at least, for Pugs.

June 18, 2022 at 5:53 pm in reply to: 2022 Cardinals MLB Game 67 thread – Saturday, June 18 at Red Sox #188423Keep those PBP coming Pugs. And please send some Wooster meatballs my way. The wifey wants to know why I’m asking for spaghetti all of a sudden!
June 17, 2022 at 10:58 pm in reply to: Trade Ideas/Acquisition Ideas/Non-Cards Rumors – 2021-2022 #188364I am so done with McFarland, no offense to him and his loved ones. The whole point of keeping a few cheap (sunk cost, value 0) relievers is to eat innings when we are losing badly. This whole concept doesn’t work if they can’t get outs!
Good quotes from scouts and coaches.
Goldy:
“The results are great, but to see the work that goes into it to get them is what stands out,” Goldschmidt said. “There is a certain way he goes about his business, and that’s usually the way guys do it who have sustained success.
“It’s hard to make big changes in the big leagues. When guys get called up, if they have a hole in their game, it’s going to get exposed. He’s always asking questions. He listens, and he’s trying to find a way to get better.”
A new piece on Edman being good in all facets
Sorry GameCard you just posted this.
While his removal from Saturday’s game was public, it was not the first time this month Marmol confronted Bader about what he saw on the field.

June 12, 2022 at 12:39 am in reply to: Trade Ideas/Acquisition Ideas/Non-Cards Rumors – 2021-2022 #187678The most practical and realistic strategy would be out of the bullpen,” said Mozeliak. “One is a shorter ramp-up to return to the big leagues (after a minor league rehab option). And, as we’re starting to envision our rotation with Jack coming back and the success Pallante is having, it seems like it might make more sense to back-fill in the bullpen.”
P-D, Mo on Hicks.
I like the idea of Hicks coming back to the pen, not keeping him under glass like Woodford.
June 12, 2022 at 12:12 am in reply to: 2022 Cardinals MLB Game 60 thread – Saturday, June 11 vs. Reds #187676Bader flyout 5th inning
This video from mlb doesn’t show more than a hint.June 12, 2022 at 12:05 am in reply to: 2022 Cardinals MLB Game 60 thread – Saturday, June 11 vs. Reds #187674Bader didn’t run hard on a fly ball to center to end the fifth and then walked, with little purpose, to center field for the start of the sixth. “He’s our energy guy,” said Marmol, who apparently didn’t see enough energy on this play.
P-D
June 11, 2022 at 10:47 pm in reply to: 2022 Cardinals MLB Game 60 thread – Saturday, June 11 vs. Reds #187671I didn’t see it, and Marmol wouldn’t say. But something about not running hard on a flyout that the fielder was chasing, not camped under.

See you in the WS Matt.
Surely Sosa will be added for tonight’s game. Or can Donovan be an emergency SS?
April 25, 2022 at 10:09 pm in reply to: 2022 Cardinals MLB Game 15 thread – Monday, April 25 vs. Mets #183458For DinDin, I barfed up half a pastrami and egg sandwich, French fries, and a cup of Earl Gray tea, the moment Gallegos forgot to break for 1B on the ground ball to Goldy.
April 22, 2022 at 6:41 pm in reply to: 2022 Cardinals MLB Game 12 thread – Friday, April 22 at Reds #183046Yes the audio is out of sync. I wouldn’t mind bad, banal pbp, but there is none. Greene is pitching 95mph today, and they have no intelligent comments in that.
April 21, 2022 at 10:39 am in reply to: 2022 Cardinals MLB Game 11 thread – Thursday, April 21 at Marlins #182917Four years ago today (2.1 innings) then in A ball where he started, and went 8 several times.
But he’s in a 55 pitch ‘toddler halter’ today (not allowed to say “leash” in case dgoold is lurking).
April 18, 2022 at 4:02 pm in reply to: 2022 Cardinals MLB Game 8 thread – Sunday, April 17 at Brewers #182743I don’t know if anyone likes these besides me.
April 14, 2022 at 3:46 pm in reply to: 2022 Cardinals MLB Game 5 thread – Thursday, April 14 at Brewers #182460Hope we win 4-14. In honor of Cranny, I will take some fresh cranberries, mash them with my feet, ferment the mash for a week, distill it into low-alcohol wine, and mail it to his investment management office.
For myself, I don’t do weird fruit, so I think it will be an avocado, tomatoe, mozzarella, toasted pignoli, and sesame seed salad, with a bit of sesame oil.
April 13, 2022 at 6:29 pm in reply to: 2022 Cardinals MLB Game 4 thread – Tue 4/12 vs. Royals #182419I’m the lurker at the threshold of re-engaging. I found out that my t-mobile phone gives me free mlb tv for most cardinals games.
But I can’t understand how we are going to navigate short starts with our staff, at least until Hicks can go 5 innings. I’d like to see him backing up Matz on Saturday and warm up for the 5th inning guaranteed. Gallegos can take the 9th and Helsey/Cabrera can mop up Matz in the 3rd and 4th.

exit velocity graph
I have a different view. In my old forum days, someone would spot a high BABIP on a player, claim regression-to-the-mean, and belittle the player for producing non-replicable results. Fast forward 10 years, and exit velocity is explaining why higher BABIP is sustainable, and why higher EV players perform better. You can see that for yourself if you graph an old-school stat like Average against a new-school stat like EV.
Here’s a Link to something similar.
April 7, 2022 at 10:08 pm in reply to: FOX selling regional sports networks to Disney to Sinclair #182018If your mobile phone uses T-mobile service, mlb tv is free for the year on your phone. I was skeptical, but it was a tweet from Jeff Jone, and it works
Out of market only. Good for me, living in Minnesota.
I’ll wait for the probabilistic approaches. The same panel (raw votes are not revealed) might give the Cardinals a 20-30% chance of making it in. The same panel might give itself only a likelihood of 10% of having picked all 12 playoff teams correctly.
