who’s still on the Mo train? Do people in St. Louis still support him? Well besides the one that decides these things, Dewitt.
The Cardinals are still raking in money hand over fist with ballpark village. Mo ain’t going anywhere. :-) [Reply]
Did I miss the memo, we are “real” rivals with Cincy now?
Joey Votto had some strong words about the Reds four-game sweep in St. Louis. "We had some sh** talking mother f***ers... How'd you like that?" #Redspic.twitter.com/hsGjunm2WQ
That’s great and all, but is that team really any better than the current roster? Who would you replace on the starting lineup (not including Carpenter since he isn’t even a starter when Bader comes back).
I get it, Mo sucks, and we’re in Alex Smith-like purgatory, but what moves do you make to improve the roster? [Reply]

I posted it above. Get a legit middle of the order bat in FA. Open the pocketbook Dewitt. You got Fowler and Carp's money and the Rockies $50 million to get a great head start on paying for it and the dead/bad money that will surely come later as it does in all those deals.
Assuming that happens and Arenado doesn't opt-out we will have a legit lineup next year capable of winning a series in the post-season against other legit teams.
Liberatore into the #2 spot next year. Gorman and Thompson when they are ready. [Reply]

If you think the team is one bat away, you're more optimistic than I. [Reply]

no, O’Neill continues to progress and lay off the slider, Carlson continues to progress, Gorman continues to progress etc. then you add a Middle of the order bat and then and only then can you compete with the big boys. [Reply]
Good win, tonight. TOL has been very impressive during his hitting streak. Good to see that Goldy is also warming up. And Nolan bring Nolan. He was my favorite baseball player watching him here in Denver for years. I just love his approach to the game and he’s incredibly consistent. [Reply]
Now Nightingale in the USA Today is saying we should trade Gorman for Max Scherzer. Even if it’s for 2 months. Gorman has an All-Star ceiling. We need his bat in the lineup going forward. 2 months? If Scherzer signed to finish his career here, okay. Otherwise, GTFO with a rental.
This is the shit I’ve been railing against the last couple of weeks. Sure, Scherzer still is at the top of his game. But, why would he sign up here past those two months. He wanted to come here and Mo was an idiot. He can sign anywhere. Do players still give hometown discounts? Cant remember the last player????
It’s behind a paywall on USA Today's website so no link. [Reply]

Well, the first move you make is firing Mos pathetic ass then you fire Shildt. At that point, you have already helped the team. [Reply]
