    Adames was on the rail. He also wasn't really paying attention that closely (although I'm not sure that would have made a difference). Here's a video of it.

    Reese Olson making his MLB debut for the Tigers this week. (Anyone know what Daniel Norris is doing these days?) Wish him luck but will always regret trading him away for Norris.

    Just not sure I agree with that. Brewers will have a ton of leverage dealing the best pitcher on the market. There would likely be a bidding war for him.

    If Burnes was made available on the trade market, he would still get quite a lot. He'd easily be the most sought after SP which will drive up his value.

    Bummed it’s not Singleton but thankful that I get some time off from watching Jesse Winker play baseball for the Brewers. With any luck we’ve seen his last AB as a Brewer.

    Actually good is quite the overstatement.

    Just for some context on how bad this Cardinals defense has been in comparison to last season. DRS - 67 in 2022 (4th), currently -1 in 2023 (19th) UZR/150 - 6.3 in 2022 (2nd), currently -2.0 in 2023 (21st) Framing - -3.4 in 2022 (18th), currently -1.3 in 2023 (18th) OAA - 26 in 2022 (4th), currently -1 in 2023 (17th) Defensive value - 33.9 in 2022 (3rd), currently 3.4 in 2023 (13th) They've dropped off from an elite defense to a below average defense. That's a huge development for a team with a starting rotation that isn't great at striking hitters out.

    I think it's also fair to ask if this Cardinals team is as good as last years team. The pitching is clearly worse. No Yadi, Mikolas and Wainwright are each a year older, Quintana left in FA. The offense might be worse. Neither Goldschmidt nor Arenado are replicating their career offensive peaks last season. The defense is substantially worse. Loss of Bader and Yadi. Incorporating Gorman, Burleson, Yepez, Walker into the lineup who are all poor defenders. Contreras major drop off at C. The Cardinals certainly have a great offensive team but their roster has substantial holes as well and that's not being taken into consideration enough.

    Who are the pitchers that performing significantly worse than they have in the recent past? Mikolas in 2022 had an 85 ERA-, 100 FIP-, 95 xFIP- (mostly just greatly overperformed his peripherals last season) compared to 101 ERA-, 101 FIP-, 101 xFIP-. He's also 34 so a slight drop off wouldn't at all be surprising. Flaherty has struggled with injuries so hasn't pitched much the last few years but last year he had a 109 ERA-, 127 FIP-, 123 xFIP- compared to 115 ERA-, 109 FIP-, 107 xFIP- this season. Performing pretty much on par with how he did last season. Montgomery had a 90 ERA-, 91 FIP-, 87 xFIP- last year and has a 107 ERA-, 93 FIP-, 94 xFIP-. His ERA will probably stabilize as the year goes on but peripherals are largely the same. Wainwright is 40 and has lost has career battery mate so him having huge issues this year is not at all surprising. Especially considering he was terrible to close out last season. Has an ERA over 6 in his last 11 starts dating back to last season. Now if you want to talk about pitchers wildly underperforming relative to past results, Burnes and Peralta are far better examples.

    Lucas Erceg went 3 hitless against the Braves today with 4 strikeouts. He currently has 7 IP with a 1.29 ERA, 2.15 FIP, 3.29 xFIP and 12.89 K/9. Super happy for him excelling for the A's but equally bummed it isn't happening with us.
  11. wiguy94
    You would seriously take Mikolas, Montgomery, Wainwright, Flaherty, Liberatore over Burnes, Peralta, Houser, Rea, Teheran?? I'd argue that Burnes, Peralta, Houser would all be the best SP on the Cardinals and that Rea and Teheran are both just as good as 40 year old Wainwright. Mikolas 5.06 xERA, Montgomery 4.55 xERA, Flaherty 4.58 xERA, Wainwright 6.98 xERA, Liberatore 6.11 xERA Burnes 3.80 xERA, Peralta 4.13 xERA, Houser 3.46 xERA, Rea 4.46 xERA, Teheran 3.64 xERA All 5 of the Brewers xERA are better than any of the Cardinals xERA (and yes I know Teheran, Houser, Wainwright, Liberatore are still super small sample size)

    My comment saying you're a secret Cardinal fan was obviously a joke. You have 5000 comments on this site. Of course you're not a Cardinal fan. However, your tone when talking about the Brewers and Cardinals this year have not been very even. You'd think their records were reversed with how negative about the Brewers and positive about the Cardinals you have been. We don't need you to tell us how good the Cardinals actually are when someone brings up how bad they have been.
  13. wiguy94
    You're going through so many loops here trying to justify the Brewers bashing and Cardinals praise. IL days for Brewers - Ashby 61, Urias 59, Woodruff 49, Mitchell 41, Houser 39, Taylor 34, Miley 13, Lauer 8, Adames 3. Not even going to include Bush. That's a total of 307 IL days. IL days for Cardinals - Naughton 52, Wainwright 38, O'Neill 25, Woodford 25, DeJong 25, Carlson 16, Nootbaar 16. Including Woodford is generous as he absolutely sucks but even including him that is only 197 IL days over 110 fewer than us.
  14. wiguy94
    ERA- isn't some crazy stat. It's just ERA adjusted for park factor and put on a scale where 100 is average so it is easier to compare across teams/players. WPA, SD, MD are to take into consideration context of bullpen ERA. Cardinals have a better bullpen ERA than the Brewers by 0.50 but that's pretty irrelevant because the WPA, SD, MD better measure how the bullpen is actually doing in leverage sitautions. Brewers have excelled in leverage situations and the Cardinals have stunk it up. Their ERA is better than ours because we have had some huge run totals mounted against our bullpen in non-leverage situations which effectively make no difference in the results of the game.

    Also Brewers have had a much tougher schedule. 6 of 9 series against teams over .500 compared to Cardinals 4 of 9 series against teams over .500
  16. wiguy94
    That isn't relevant to my post. My post was about you trying to pull the "Brewers only giving up 0.25 runs per game less than the Cardinals" as some attempt to lessen the gap between the 2 pitching staffs. The Cardinals pitching is healthy and still significantly worse than the Brewers pitching staff that is battered with injuries. The Cardinals are 14-13 in April despite playing a relatively easy schedule with an opponent win% of 47.7%. Cardinals have played 9 series this month but only 4 of the 9 were against teams above .500 Brewers are obviously 10-15 this month but have played a tougher schedule with an opponent win% of 51%. We are starting our 9th series of the month tomorrow and 6 of the 9 series were against teams above .500

    Here you are arguing on behalf of the Cardinals again. Brewers SP have a 94 ERA- compared to the Cardinals SP 117 ERA-. Brewers relievers are 1st in WPA and have the best SD/MD ratio in the MLB compared to Cardinals relievers being 24th in WPA and 26th in SD/MD ratio.

    Luke Voit DFA'd.
  19. wiguy94
    Luke Voit DFA'd.

    There’s no need to rush to extend him. He’s a guy who was non-tendered largely because of his recent injury history keeping him off the field/unproductive on the field. Rushing to extend him because he’s stayed healthy for 50-ish games could seriously backfire for Milwaukee.
  21. wiguy94
    Why would Darin Ruf be DFA'd? He has a 103 wRC+ for us and that's with some horrible batted ball luck. Plus he smashes LHP. Keston is hurt and Alvarez has a 33% wRC+ in May with a 36% K-rate. Why is Suter even mentioned in the same sentence as SP? He's pitched 4+ innings 1 time since the start of 2019. Chase Anderson...? Just why? What does Chase Anderson offer that Rea and Teheran don't?
  22. wiguy94
    Yeah I’ve been pleased with Arnold’s timely moves. He traded for Guerra but DFA’d him. Varland Rule 5 pick, DFA’d. I’m hoping the trend continues with Jesse Winker soon. I think being willing to admit when you made a mistake as a GM is a great characteristic to have.
  23. wiguy94
    Absolutely shocked that building a starting rotation with ages 30, 34, 36, 38, 40 has resulted in a rotation that's dealt with a ton of injuries. I mean pitchers already get injured enough but having a gigantic payroll with an intended SP group with an average age of 35/36 was absolute madness.
  24. wiguy94
    Cardinals losing 10-3 to the Reds in the top of the 9th. The Cardinals active pitching staff has just 4 pitchers with an ERA under 4.00
  25. wiguy94
    Second time on the IL for him this season. That's a bummer because he's been absolutely fantastic.
