God I’m so irritated about this gray injury. What a stupidly constructed rotation. At least last year I was invested up to the trade deadline, I wouldn’t be surprised if Marmol doesn’t make it through may with what they’ve given him in the rotation. I hate people who just relentlessly doompost about their teams, I strive not to do it with my favorite teams in other sports but it’s so frustrating to watch this organization cheap out like they have

We like our farm and help is on the way, trust us!

They'll wiggle their way into contention based on pure bullshit devil magics.

you gotta update your priors. this isn't the early 2010s anymore, the team fuckin stinks and has no one competent manning the wheel (or ownership that will let them spend money)

Smiling serenely to myself as John Mozeliak says this, as if the remaining SP FAs will be available in mid-April

quote:

“I definitely feel (adding pitching depth) is not something that is required at this point,” Mozeliak said the morning after Gray’s injury. “If something changes, we’d have to look at it differently, but we’re not thinking we’ll have to do that at this point.”

I don’t get it either honestly. Before this extension I would have told you write marmol in pen as the first manager fired this season. I guess the optimistic viewpoint would be that Arenado and Goldschmidt had down years last year but Contreras was good and trending up by the end of the season, but the outfield is already in shambles and the youngest member of the rotation is 34. I do think the bullpen is better and ultimately I do think their record will be better than last season but worst to first just doesn’t seem realistic to me.

I would have traded Goldschmidt while I had the chance tbh. I’m glad they didn’t extend him yet, I’m sure that’s coming off the heels of this dumb bullshit tho

No, you see, they've addressed all your concerns this offseason and like how the team has looked in ST

quote:

“I’d like to touch on maybe the bigger question of why now,” Mozeliak said. “Bill (DeWitt Jr.) and I had been reflecting on this for some time. The way we approached our offseason was to address our roster. We knew there was going to be some major overhaul. We felt we had accomplished that. Then as we got into camp and seeing how things were working, we really felt like things were being run well and did not want to go into the year with this being a distraction for Oli, for the staff or for the players. Ultimately, we have a lot of faith in him, we believe he’s the right person for the job, and we’re excited to know he’ll be here for the next few years.”

They traded him away; he was constantly hurt; he is fast and can theoretically hit home runs; they never really committed to him; etc etc

He was unfairly maligned but he also isn't going to be a regular contributor to any team I don't think

Pathetic.

Cardinals beat writers are resorting to pushing the storyline that the cardinals might be able to steal the opening series from the dodgers because of the ohtani chaos, which is hilarious. I can’t remember ever being less excited for opening day since I started following baseball

When Sonny Gray comes off the IL in July, it'll be just like getting traded a TOR starter

I feel terrible for Dylan because he had a really good spring but this is pretty exciting man. This dude is gonna be good

i'm very worried that they are gonna gently caress his development. they haven't done a great job developing most of their prospects recently

hello from the cardinals current #1

quote:

“I had what, a 4.70 ERA last year?” Mikolas said. “Which is funny because that’s just north of a 4.50. And a 4.50 is a quality start every single time. If you had a guy and you said, ‘Hey, this guy is going to make 30 starts and have a 4.50 ERA,’ a lot of people, especially on Twitter, would say that guy stinks. But if I told you that guy was going to (throw) six innings every time out and give up three runs? That’s giving your team a chance to win a lot of ball games.”

the dodgers are going to score 10 tomorrow
