    No Chourio in the starting lineup for the 4th straight game…No Ortiz either again. What are we even doing? Gotta get Frelick, Dunn, and Perkins in there, though.
  2. Brewcrew82
    True. I don't think they'll fire Mozeliak in season out of respect for what he's done, but Marmol could definitely not make it out of MKE with the team.
  3. Brewcrew82
    And if one wants to play that game, you can't really can't go ahead and ignore Ruiz almost equaling Hader's WAR with his 1.3 fWAR with the A's last year....
  4. Brewcrew82
    Gasser didn't have anything to do with the Hader trade? What?
  5. Brewcrew82
    Turns out the much hated Josh Hader trade wasn't so bad for us either, as we've parlayed 1.5 years of Hader into Contreras, Payamps, and Gasser. Taylor Rogers and Dinelson Lamet didn't work out obviously, but man that trade is just the sort of thing that small market clubs need to do to remain competitive in the long run.

    After seeing what Brice Turang has done this year, I'm pretty much the last person that's going to rule Frelick out. After all. his production in the minors was superior to all of him, Wiemer, Mitchell, Turang, etc.
  7. Brewcrew82
    0 walks is definitely the most impressive thing about Gasser's start. He should definitely replace Myers. If Gasser can sustain success in the big leagues, we should be able to ride him pretty far with him having pitched about 140 innings the past two years. Early season injury could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

    Yeah, I believe I can. I was one of the ones saying it was unlikely he would become Barry Bonds again, but that Marlins/1st half 2018 Yelich was still in him. Which would fulfill a large chunk of his contract value with inflation. I would also say we have different definitions of "trash". Even in 2021-2022, he still averaged more than 2 bWAR/162, which is above average.

    I would bet a lot of money on this being the final year for this regime of Cardinals baseball. And it's glorious.
  10. Brewcrew82
    Remember the days when Yelich's contract was a subject of consternation in pretty much every IGT? Fun times.
  11. Brewcrew82
    Turang is an All-Star right now.
  12. Brewcrew82
    Not even close to the strike zone....
  13. Brewcrew82
    I think people are fine with the general concept of extending him. It's potentially paying a ton of money to a catcher in his early to mid 30s that rightfully scares people.
  14. Brewcrew82
    Well this is a lot better than the first time against Gray.
  15. Brewcrew82
    I think we need to stick with the plan of using this as a "transition year" to our next wave of talent (which Chourio is the centerpiece of). Sure winning is fun, and we've done that for the most part this season, but development must take precedence. Which is part of why I'm frustrated with the roadblocks that guys like Bauers and Dunn to a lesser extent are becoming to our younger guys getting in the lineup. Unless Chourio starts looking completely overmatched at the plate, which he really hasn't (especially lately), the upside of letting him figure things out now against MLB pitching outweighs whatever benefits he can obtain from feasting on AAA pitching. Because the faster he figures things out for us at the major league level the better, and AAA pitching just isn't of a high enough quality these days to serve as an effective substitute. The fact that we're paying him like a major league player right now only adds to that incentive.
  16. Brewcrew82
    We don't really "absolutely know" that Yelich is going to hit the IL 1-3 times a year considering the last two years he's played an average of 150 games. Could he hit the IL again this year? Sure, but it's not a guarantee. Nor do I agree we lack a "true offensive plan". Our offensive plan is to build around Yelich, Contreras, etc. and develop our new wave of young position player talent. We need to develop that talent as a small market team, and there's going to be some bumps along the way.
  17. Brewcrew82
    I guess if you also were willing to call Mike Trout, Bobby Witt Jr., Julio Rodriguez, etc. AAA players after their first 30 games.
  18. Brewcrew82
    They paid him $80 million to develop him in the major leagues. He's 20 years old. They're committed to him as their present and future. He's not even the OFer that should be first up for a demotion. That would be Frelick. Look up Bobby Witt Jr. or Julio Rodriguez's stats over their first 32 games.
  19. Brewcrew82
    Chourio needs to face MLB pitchers. He's already made the first adjustment and is chasing and striking out a lot less.
  20. Brewcrew82
    Chourio is 20. He's also been hitting over .300 over the last week.
  21. Brewcrew82
    Getting ridiculous. Dunn wasn't even supposed to make the team out of ST....
  22. Brewcrew82
    I predicted Megill as the closer once Devin went down in ST. Took a good month, but at least it seems we're there now.
  23. Brewcrew82
    A poet and a psychic. Love it.
  24. Brewcrew82
    Willy!
  25. Brewcrew82
    I think they'll probably end up somewhere in the top 12-10 or so of offenses in terms of R/G, which is where they are now. There's some variables including health and the development of the youngsters that will push it up or down that scale.
