Sounds like someone caught the COVID

Supposedly Martinez was one. Anecdotal social media posts say they spotted him out and about living large. Who knows if it’s the truth? People are piling on Martinez these days.

They are back on the field tonight against the Cubs, With the 5 days locked into hotel rooms, not playing in a week, Molina and Dejong out its not looking good for us this weekend.

Last time we saw the Cubs we didn't just sweep a 4 game series from them but smoked them bad, knocked them out of the playoffs. I'd say they are looking for some payback.

No, they aren’t.

Game today is postponed.

Had no idea there was a new player test positive. Irresponsible assholes. What an embarrassment.

So, the #Cardinals, if they are to play a 60-game schedule, now would have to play 55 games in 49 days. That assumes they play the Pirates Monday, far from a given. https://t.co/eyHxQNYMWa

Dylan Carlson called up.

I don’t see any way they call him up to spot start and pinch hit. He’d better be starting. I’m assuming the Bader era is over until he learns to hit and lay off the slider in the dirt.

So now that they are calling him up, his clock officially starts. Did the Cardinals "get" that extra year of arbitration on him with all of the postponements they've had?

I was pretty damn curious about that one myself. I don't think the number of games played technically matters. I think it's simply number of days on the active roster.

I mean - surely Mo wouldn't screw that up.

Then again, Freddy Tatis did an interview today where he said the Cardinals had Tatis Jr in for 19 separate workouts nearly a year before he signed and Fernando Sr couldn't figure out why they wouldn't just go ahead and sign him.

So combine that with the "If he's good we'll just have to pay him again" fuckup on Luis Robert and know that we could've had a ballclub w/ Robert, Harper, Carlson and Tatis on it for less than we paid for Goldschmidt, Fowler and Carpenter and suddenly you realize that NOTHING is too stupid for John Mozeliak.

I remember when the Cubs and the Bryant being called up "controversy" happened that they were saying its days on the active roster, not games played.
:-) Is there anyone that posts on here that thinks Mo is doing a good job? Even to my layman's eyes, he's screwed up soooo many times lately. The only explanation is that he's still making money hand over fist for the owner. It certainly cant be his baseball moves.

The latest looks like the season will resume on Saturday with a double header.

Sad midwestern folks won’t show up for work.

My granddad was a war vet farmer from central Missouri and ted slap these cards in the face being whimps


Stan The Man spent ‘45 in Pearl Harbor. He’d be shocked at this

Are you acting like they had a choice to play. Dumb...but yeah thus society is sad as fuck. Generations of soft bitches.
[Reply]

Why do we let the stupid Cardinals have a forum on our Chiefs Planet? Stay true to the Royals and Chiefs and ban these posts :-)
[Reply]

Its a thread, not a forum dipshit. It's existed for over 18 years on here. You don't want to see it, use the ignore thread option. But, 49 posts and your in the deep red means your probably just an asshole trying to start some shit.
