    Hamilton has been exactly who he has always been. He’s a meet expectations guy to me. I don’t think any of the roster is too far off from their expected norms other than Frelick and a few guys in the pen. Not being healthy has hurt.

    Last year was kind of the big monkey off our back. I can’t tell you how unsatisfying the end of last season would have been if we had lost game 5 to the Cubs. But, we didn’t. Got the monkey off our back, got rid of the “they can’t win a playoff series” talk, and did it against our hated rivals. The Dodgers series sucked, but I was pretty much at peace with whatever happened at that point. I’m ok with however we can get into the playoffs every year at this point. Just get in and hope the randomness of baseball finally swings in our direction one of these Octobers. One thing about last year is that it really felt like the gap has widened between the teams with deep pockets and the teams without deep pockets since our last deep run in 2018. But maybe that’s just the Dodgers going on a bender at the worst possible time for everyone else. Or, maybe it’s something that will be addressed in the new CBA.

    He was horridly inconsistent. He didn’t lock down a rotation spot as expected. He had an ERA over 4.50 and was a below replacement level player. The strikeout prowess was still there. That was the positive. Surely we had higher expectations than taking the ball every 5th day. Also — giving up 9 hits and 3 ER in 5 innings is keeping your team in the team ? Going 4 innings and giving up 3 earned is keeping your team in the game ? Talk about a low bar.

    No, it didn’t make sense to me at the time and I said so at the time. Maybe it made sense to you. Maybe I just really didn’t like Montas. He was not the only SP option out there. It's also a little biased to call Wiemer’s start “fluky” when we just don’t know yet. You’re just looking to downplay it without any real reason to do so yet. I really don’t care whether Wiemer keeps it up, as I’ve said, any team could have claimed him, so I’m not claiming it was some awful oversight. But you’re simply not giving any credit where it’s due.

    The amount of blowback in here when anyone suggests that Frankie Montas was not that great of an acquisition, is always something to behold. He was modestly better for us than the complete liability he has become since then, I’ll grant that. Its whatever, I’ve never said it was that big of a deal, and I’ve transparently said numerous times that Wiemer could have been acquired by anyone since then. I just never liked Montas much, and didn’t like the deal. It was definitely not one of Arnold’s better ones. Obviously he’s had a good track record overall, I think we can certainly agree though, that he would have been playing over Greg Jones and Blake Perkins this season.

    I’ll take a split in St Louis. Still trending in the right direction. Catch em one at a time - tough part of the schedule coming up, so hopefully we can get through it okay.

    You don’t hit nearly well enough to boot that ball.
  9. adambr2
    Chourio on the other hand can hit a little.

    All Ortiz needs to do to get in the lineup every day is to just not be an atrocious hitter and it’s a bar he can’t clear.
  11. adambr2
    Help me understand why/when the umpires can just refuse to let you challenge.

    You can tell Murphy really wants this one. Only 76 pitches but with his reputation for struggles the 3rd time around Murphy is taking no chances on another inning for Sproat.

    It’s something they’ve gotta get better at for sure. Less aggressive in some situations, more aggressive in others. They’re a very analytical team, so this is something I would guess they are looking at closely and figuring out how they will improve over time. Ergo, I think their ranking will rise over time, but right now we are still in the very early stages of this.

    It can also mean bad all the time. 🤷‍♂️

    Sprout usually looks so good until he doesn’t. Would love to see him break that trend today.
  16. adambr2
    It’s the Cardinals, so you can guarantee we are going to get some old school petty revenge at some point for Church getting hit.

    Love me a good 2 out rally.
  18. adambr2
    That trade didn’t make much sense at the time and looks much worse now. I can forgive the fact that no one could have seen Wiemer start to figure it out, although let’s be honest, if he was on the roster, he would have been playing a lot for us the last 6 weeks. Junis was good at the time we traded him and has continued to be nothing but good since.

    Unless you’re Oklahoma City. I think they’re going to roll to another title.

    I’m not saying we’re out of the division by any means. I’m just saying if the objective this season ends up being — let’s be in the top 6 — that’s okay.
  21. adambr2
    Gotta catch the Reds and the other division teams behind the Cubs before we can worry about the Cubs. Start working our way back in playoff position first. The division may not end up being in the cards this year.
  22. adambr2
    We do not look like the class of the division this year.

    I’d be fine with Black getting some starts at 1st versus RHP. Bauers goes on for some nice stretches from time to time but for the most part he’s still the same guy he’s always been.

    I never understood the contempt for Lucroy over the whole trade deadline debacle in 2016. Cleveland was on his no-trade clause list and he had every contractual right to deny a trade there. Sounds like if he would have been approached in a more professional and open manner by Stearns about it, the trade might have happened.

    I like Mitchell, a lot. I think his speed and defense is a great fit for what we do, and I think he’s going to give us more power than what we’ve seen so far this year. If he could get that K rate down to the 25-27% range, I think he could be an All-Star level player. As it is, if he stays heathy and plays a full season, I still think he’ll be a 2.5-3 WAR type player. I think it’s fair to point out that if you can’t get your K rate to a manageable level, it can derail a career quickly like it did for Keon Broxton and Keston Hiura, who were very good at other things but just couldn’t get their K rates under control. Mike Cameron is a good comp but he was 24.1% for his career. If Garrett could get to that he’d be an amazing player and I’d love to see it.
