Middle of the order WAR: Aguilar: -0.5 Shaw: -0.4 Braun: -0.2 Yowzah...

I do agree that this early in the season, you can't read into much. On that note, I'd say however that out -6 run differential is a better indicator of the kind of baseball that we've played over our 8-5 record. We're definitely a 'lucky' 8-5, and thus far the Cardinals have certainly been the best team in the division. Now can we improve on that, of course. Burnes isn't going to have a 9+ ERA all year, Woodruff and Peralta should both be better, there's a lot of youth and upside the rotation. Still, I'd be lying if I said I have no concerns. Youth and upside is a good thing to have, but in the short-term, it could be our downfall. We're committed apparently to having all our young starters in the rotation this year, and in the long run, that's probably a good thing. In the short-term, we're going to have to suffer through their growing pains as starters while simultaneously not having those young power arms in the bullpen which made such a difference late last season. What we're doing right now is essentially the opposite of the bullpenning approach of late last year, which surprises me a bit because it was so successful for us.

Not really sure what you're talking about. Nobody went from 23rd to top 10 in one game. Reds have allowed 35 runs in 12 games, we've allowed 71 in 13. Very clearly their pitching has been far better so far.
-
Perhaps the Derek Johnson pixie dust isn't as magical anymore. Brewers team ERA: 23rd Reds team ERA: 6th I realize this post was from awhile ago, but I for one sure miss DJ.
-
Wilkerson is worth zero as a trade asset. He has some small value to us being starter depth as someone who could cover an injury at the MLB level like a Hiram Burgos from a few years ago. But frankly I'm surprised Wilkerson has survived 40 man roster cuts as long as he has so far.

This is going to be an ugly series.
-
Thanks Brew, I appreciate that.
-
We might have a real problem at 1st base.
-
Has Grandal always been that bad of a framer?
-
I don't expect Aguilar to OPS 1.000 in the first half again....but woof. He needs to be better than this.

Last Wednesday, my best friend, who is 36 with a severe drinking problem, had a seizure brought on by vomiting and led to a heart attack. He was without oxygen for over 10 minutes before being resuscitated, and the damage to his brain was too great for him to live as anything more than in a vegetative state for the rest of his life, which his parents know he doesn't want, so most likely they will soon be letting him pass. I wish he knew the pain and loss that myself and so many of my close friends feel without him. Unfortunately he had been in a pretty dark place as his depression and alcoholism continue to get progressively worse. Miss you Bennie.

Sheesh Aguilar, if you're going to argue adamantly for a challenge in the 3rd inning, at least be right.
-
When I saw this bump I figured we acquired Gio again.
-
It's hard not to think Ray looks like the next Keon Broxton.
-
Hey Hook, are we going to have at least 1 game this series of your staff not allowing double digit runs?
-
So that pitch 1 to Rizzo was a ball but that much worse pitch to Yelich was a strike. Got it. This ump is a lunatic.
-
Boy you go through all the names in our pen and outside of Josh Hader you don't feel that great about any of them.
-
18 runs allowed in the 8th inning of Game 2 of this series. Yuck
-
Still not over yet.
-
I was wondering if it was as bad as it looked on Gameday.
-
I love Stearns, but that Santana/Gamel trade looks ugly.
-
I guess we're figuring we can't lose the game if we just don't record any more outs.
-
3 batters too late.
-
Burnes has allowed 6 HR in 2 starts. He allowed 4 in 47 relief innings last year.
-
I have no idea why he is still out there. That '3rd time through' stuff is a real thing.
