    Walker’s abhorrent defense in RF really hurt their defensive numbers before he was optioned. DeJong over Edman at SS helps and when Carlson and O’Neil return from the IL they can get Burleson and his bad D out of the OF. The StL D at full strength is actually good.
  2. SF70
    Ok, maybe St Louis’s rotation isn’t better right now, but I don’t see much difference between rotations — not with Teheran and Rea in it. I like MKE’s bullpen a little better, so I’d give a slight edge in pitching overall to MKE. I also give MKE an edge defensively, but not as big if the team options Turang and or Wiemer. Urias at second is tolerable, but if he’s at 3B, the D takes a big hit. The gap offensively between teams is larger than the Grand Canyon. Whatever edge MKE had over StL in pitching & defense is more than wiped out by the Cardinals edge in offense. The potential saving grace is the 5+ game lead MKE has currently. Hopefully it will be enough of a cushion for them to hold on until they get their wounded back.

    The StL offensive advantage is huge over MKE and honestly, with MKE’s starter injuries, I think the Cardinals have the advantage there too until Woodruff is back which is looking more like late July now. If this team can get to Woodruff’s return within a couple of games of 1st place, they probably have the advantage, provided they get healthy.
  4. SF70
    Yeah, I guess I do see him improving his performance between now and then, but if not then he’s still worth more than Giolito or Lynn or any other starter that would be available, imo.
  5. SF70
    Disagree that there isn’t much difference in return with a deadline trade vs offseason trade, at least with a player as good and unique as Corbin Burnes. Burnes at the deadline would be the most coveted player available and would return much more than the offseason due to the extra control, and the fact of there being no competition with FA signings. San Diego, Philadelphia, Texas, Toronto, NYY, would be 5 teams off the top of my head I could see overpaying for Burnes at the deadline.

    Yeah, patience. Stay the course with the development of the teams position prospects, it’s the only way. It’s not going to happen trading 2-3 of our best prospects to acquire a 2 years controlled stud position player. This offense is way more than 1 upgrade away. If the team decides to sell-off 2 months from now, they can add enough prospect talent to the organization to give them as much talent as any team in baseball — then add 1.5 years for the big-league development and OD of ‘25 the 5+ year serious WS contention window can begin. If they hold and try to contend this year, add another year to the SERIOUS WS contention beginning and subtract a little organizational talent.

    I think the team needs to get an answer from Counsell whether he wants to manage this team moving forward. If not, this team without him takes a huge hit and for me, won’t be able to overcome his void for next season and should then sell-off. The team has the infrastructure to keep the prospect flow coming but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to see what this FO could do adding prospect talent thru the selling of at least the big 3 and possibly more. The early returns on this skill-set look good with their Hader trade return and adding 10-12 prospects with 4-5 of them top 100’s to this organization’s strong farm (Fangraphs-9th, Law-8th) makes 2026+ look more than just promising. This is how we get organizational talent to rival the best of them including Tampa.
  8. SF70
    No clue who the team will pick, only that I’m confident Johnson & co. will have their 4th nice draft in a row.
  9. SF70
    Clayton Andrews looking great tonight with 2 clean innings. 20 pitches/17 strikes.
  10. SF70
    Ok, you just showed his last 7 outings: 14 innings 7BB 19K Looks pretty good to me.
  11. SF70
    1st 5 outings— 5.1 IP 6BB/9K Since — 14 IP — 7BB/19K Positive trajectory/arrow up.
  12. SF70
    He COMPLETELY lost his release-point early last year and became Steve Blass. The team this year had him throw nothing but FB’s in at least 1 outing earlier this season and that seemed to work getting a more consistent RP and since then he’s had multiple clean outings and started to pitch much better. A few more strike-throwing outings and i’m expecting a call-up.
  13. SF70
    He’s gone from unplayable to viable. He probably needs to continue to make progress with his command for the team to call him up, but the trajectory is now a good one. And Small has plenty of whiff ability pitching out of the bullpen with his plus change-up and invisible fastball, especially at 93mph where he can get it, pitching out of the pen.
  14. SF70
    Nice post. Small has made enormous progress fixing his release point. From spiking every other change up 5 feet in front of home plate to being able to throw all of his pitches for strikes. Just A little more consistency throwing strikes away from a call up in my opinion. I think eventually they stretch him back out to start again and now that he seems to have fixed his release point he can start working on improving his slider to give him an effective third pitch. hoping to be pleasantly surprised by Teheran, but if not another nice start or two from Gasser and I think he gets the call, especially after hearing what Arnold had to say about him in the McCalvy piece.
  15. SF70
    Yes.
  16. SF70
    Glasnow is pitching 1 more rehab start tomorrow. Yeah Lauer needs optioned to try and fix his mechanics. He is a mess right now, physically (mechanics) as well as mentally (confidence).
  17. SF70
    Great outing in my opinion. Lots of whiffs. Seemed to tire a bit in his last inning of work with 2 of his BB’s, but 101 pitches is nice.
  18. SF70
    Matt, I respect your baseball insights especially on pitching, but respectfully disagree with your opinion on junk making another spot start for this team. In the 3 starts I’ve seen from him including his Arizona start for MKE, his stuff just doesn’t pass the eye-test, at least not my eye-test. i’d like to see them call up Small on Tuesday to make the start. He threw 52 pitches last night with 3.1 innings and should be able to go 3+ with Wilson or a bullpen game the rest of the way.
  19. SF70
    The breakout of Nolan Gorman has given the Cardinals their 3rd MVP candidate and makes their lineup as strong as any in the game, if not the strongest. The team is so deep in quality position players they don’t even miss O’Neil or Carlson who both are injured and out of the lineup.
  20. SF70
    He was so wild it was shocking. Injured?
  21. SF70
    Then proceeds to throw 34 strikes in his next 43 pitches, 79%. Definitely has come a long ways from last year when he was spiking pitches 5 feet in front of home plate nearly once per batter, but still hasn’t nailed his release-point where he can consistently throw strikes in every outing. Lots of progress, but still a ways to go.
  22. SF70
    Giving out a long-term extension to a sub .300on-base SS that strikes-out too much, no matter how good his arm is doesn’t make sense — at all.
  23. SF70
    Hated hearing Miley say he tried to pitch thru-it after first experiencing the lat pain and CC saying he’s going to get multiple second opinions after getting the results from the MRI. Bad feeling on this one, hope I’m wrong.
  24. SF70
    I think it’s a pretty safe bet Quero and Misiorowski make the top 100. Black if he keeps the power profile should make it as well. Lara if he keeps hitting should make a list or two just because of his age, but might get overlooked. Guilarte just doesn’t have enough pop in the bat yet, but CRod could touch a list if he can improve his command some the next 5-6 weeks.
  25. SF70
    Looking at the rosters of Milwaukee and St. Louis, I have no idea how MKE can hold-off the Cardinals let alone make it to the deadline in contention of a playoff spot. Outside of the bullpen, as is, this is not a good team. Too many major injuries and too much ineffectiveness. Maybe if Lauer AND Burnes can both pitch like they did in the first half of last season they might hang-in there until Woodruff is back, but that’s not likely to happen and what if they get yet another injury or injuries? The Cardinals pitching, with MKE’s injured rotation is every bit as good, maybe even better and their offense is leaps and bounds better. That vast disparity of talent will eventually move st. Louis ahead in the standings.
