The problem is that the Cardinals play in a shitty division and still can’t win it.

You’re the one posting on the Marlins board and replying to me in several cases lol. ”Truth is kinda painful huh” #TheCardinalsSuck

We won’t be the only team using openers. I guess if it works as it has for the Rays then yay. Sounds better than paying a guy 10 million to give up 44 home runs for the sake of those 184 innings. Or whatever the Cardinals pitching plan is, can we talk more about how awesome your pitching was last year? 😂

The Cardinals stunk last year and one of their biggest moves of the offseason was to sign a pitcher who gave up 44 home runs last year. Weird flex, but ok. The Marlins have been better since you stopped being a fan, it’s wild.

Not that it justifies things, but some of the upgrades were acquired at the trade deadline last year. The team started 2 of the worst players in all of baseball for 4 months last season (Jean, Stallings) so hopefully a lot less of them will help. Burger’s way better than Jean & Bethancourt can’t be worse than Stallings, it’s basically impossible. Bell should also be somewhat of an upgrade over Cooper, or at least the same thing. It would be nice to bring back Soler or replace him, but I would imagine some of these upgrades can compensate for that (especially the Burger for Jean swap). All in all, it looks like a .500 team.

He didn’t have a good year last year. There’s no replacement for Sandy anyway so if that was your expectation before the offseason started, no wonder you’re disappointed. Actually, I’m not sure why you’re disappointed since you’re not even a fan… Speaking of get out of town as quickly as possible, great job getting Sandy AND Gallen out of town quickly. Great trade by your first class organization.

I think we’re basically a .500 team. The overall record will depend on the volatility of the bullpen. The bullpen exceeded expectations in close games last year so they were able to make the playoffs. Same situation basically because it’s basically the same team.

The Cardinals signing a pitcher for 10 million who gave up 44 home runs last year is thrilling. They say chicks dig the long ball so he’s probably the most thrilling pitcher in baseball to Das.

Thrilling enough to comment on it even though you don’t care about the team, allegedly.

The team really isn’t as terrible as some of you are saying.

True, other teams pretend we’re still living in a decade ago and they sign Lance Lynn for big money to throw batting practice.

Every team makes these types of moves, but thanks for overreacting about a team you don’t even like anymore, weirdo.

Peter Bendix, more like Peter Bendoverandtakeitintheass, am I right?

Oh wow, good catch lol.

Rosenthal’s article makes it sound like Bruce Sherman has an input on decisions being made. Also makes it sound like the Royals rejected the offer. I find that hard to believe as usually, lefties who throw mid 90s are more valuable than DH’s even if the DH has another year or two of control. I like Vinnie P and wouldn’t even mind the deal if it was Vinnie P + more, but no way I’d do it 1 for 1.

It doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense either when you really think about it.

We should just pay somebody at this point to send a message. It worked when we signed Avisail Garcia, for example. It’s why we made the playoffs last year.

It’s an above average rotation. Trying Puk as a starter makes sense too since other guys (all lefties too) emerged out of the bullpen last year.

I don’t really understand why Jacob Stallings is catching tonight. Seems like weird timing to do something for the first time this year, and Stallings isn’t a difference maker offensively to put him in there. Also, I’m not sure if Garrett is capable of shutting down the Phillies lineup regardless of who is catching. Hopefully he can hang in there and we make it a bullpen game or something. It’s our only chance if we have one.

Need another base runner and a home run. Simple.

Superstar Jazz Chisholm with some awful, selfish AB’s tonight.

Skip managing like Mattingly.

Okert’s been bad lately and he’s off to a bad start in this inning.

Terrible night for Soler.

I want to see a home run like the one Soler hit in Houston in the World Series. Plz Soler.
