I like how Mike was trying to keep it loose by pitching Garcia. It’s not April or May motherfucker, tick tock tick tock your time is almost through. [Reply]

remember when, not too long ago, people were bitching about Pujols and Molina not running out ground balls in the infield. How spoiled were we as Cardinals fans? [Reply]

This team is a disaster. I maybe watch 1 game a week and they usually lose. I can't remember the last time i watched them win a game. I think it was the game where Wacha almost no hit the pirates. [Reply]

Mo should probably be the first change, one nanosecond before Matheny and Mabry are canned. Call Stubby Clapp up and give him the interim tag as a tryout for the job full time. [Reply]
"Even though it wasn't going well, we got to a spot in the last part of the game where we are five runs away," Mike Matheny said after it was over. "In this park, that happens quick. [Reply]

If you just look at the last 10 years and who were the top 10 relievers in each of those years, about one third of them would have paid off to sign to a multi-year deals (within reason). For every Rivera you have a Heath Bell, Carlos Marmol, or Jason Motte. For every Craig Kimbrel you have a Matt Capps, Joel Hanrahan or Chris Perez. for every Trevor Hoffman you have a Brian Wilson, Trevor Rosenthal or John Axford. Relievers even the best ones are tough to predict (actually I bet you would find similar results for starters as well). [Reply]

I don’t condone spending big money on FA starters either. When’s the last time that’s worked out? Scherzer?
Remember how pissed we were when the Cards missed out on Price? No one is too upset about that now. You have to develop starters from within, something we’re actually fairly decent at until Matheny gets ahold of them. [Reply]

it seems that one of the few things this team does better than the average team is develop starting pitching. You take Meathead out of the equation. Maybe that would apply to relievers too? [Reply]
