When Pallante has command , hes good. Keep throwing him out there. He may end up being higher than a number five. As far as trades, the guy I would like to see traded is not going to happen this year , so theres no sense in naming him. Maybe next year , when le loses trade value.
We need bullpen help before we need yet another #5 starter. When our starters make a quality start, they deserve to get the win, not have middle relief allow the other team to tie the game or go ahead, and turn that win into a no-decision. Puts more pressure on the hitters, too. StL actually cannot do a bullpen game, because after the top 3 late innings guys out there, we can't get 9 good enough innings to win a game. Absolutely NO on the TB trade idea. The guy has a .218 batting average?!! C'MON!!!!! Maybe that deal will look better in the off-season, but not now.
I want to tell you like your show... but GRAY IS NOT an ACE! He's not invited to the All-Star game he's NOT an ace! The Cardinals need an ACE and Trevor Bauer is just sitting there. You really should be doing a show on how NO CARDINALS but a RP are all-stars. The industry doesn't think much of our players. The Cardinals aren't trying to win a World Series otherwise they'd got sign Bauer and make a big move for Trout or a super-star outfielder. I bet the Cardinals could get trout for a couple of our major league roster outfielders and taking back half his payroll. Trout is getting traded bank on that.
Why wouldn't the Cards go get an impact bat instead of low hanging fruit? We used to get a Scott Rolen, Holliday or even Larry Walker. True difference makers. At some point the Cards have to decide if they really want to compete with the best. Little tweaks aren't moving the needle for this team. Trade some top prospects, go for it. Trying to hobble in as a WC team shouldn't excite fans that used to expect being an elite team.
I think the Cardinals need a rh bat to sometimes DH. At the very least why not send Fermin who is batting around 130 and bring up Baker. Now I don't think Baker will hit for average but he might walk into a few pitches for homeruns. I also would rather see the cardinals get a couple of good relievers especially one that could occasionally close games when Helsley is not a available. This team already have a couple of internal options for the #5 starter spot.
@boschlosser10 walker has a barely 700 ops at triple A they shouldn't bring him up for the rest of the year unless he just goes insane and edman you don't know how he's gonna play he's hasn't seen the field in a long time
We need another ace Pallante is good enough to be a starter if he continues to give us 6 or 7 innings same thing with Lynn 6-7 innings then the bullpen has to step up which they shown signs
I've said before, Herrera would be an excellent guy to work with defensively to give Goldy some days off at 1B. Ivan was providing decent offense, and is now probably #3 at the catcher position. He would be a much better backup at 1B than Baker, who is very weak defensively.
Pallante with that new runner in on the righties hopefully will help. He does have a good arm very durable. Why did the announcers say the the mistake by Bendan Donovan almost cost them the game?? That run means nothing.. you still have to get a hit lol. Can't wait for Noot with good plate disciplin and power. This offence can be better. Way to go Chase!👏 thanks JD ..Pallante for the 5th we need to see more.. Libby had a good start...still need a ace. 1 or a 2
JD, we still need good pitching coaches and good hitting coaches. We obviously don't have coaches that can develop hitters and pitchers. We need them desperately. Unless Arenado is injured and they're not telling us, a good hitting coach could help him figure it out and totally turn it around. Same for Goldy!! Is Skip Schumacher waiting in the wings JD? I certainly hope so. That might be another topic for your next program or the one after that.
I think we may have to accept it's just not a coaching thing especially with goldy he's old and seems to be slowing down especially with some of our young guys figuring it out like Burleson I think if it was a coach problem everyone would be struggling
How can you say that when edman hasn't played all year we don't know how he's gonna look he could play terrible after being off for so long burly has actually proved himself this year they're not in the same category
We have inconsistency in the starting pitching staff built on short-term contracts, so I don't think Pallante has changed that condition, at least not yet. The Cardinals have overcome some of the inconsistency to this point of the season, but I really think the best thing to do by the trade deadline is bulk up on relief pitching. (and I'm not talking "rentals" heading to free agency, we need consistency in the bullpen, too) Address the starting pitching again during the off-season. .... and .... Gallegos is too far gone to be effective for the Cardinals ANYWHERE.
I love both Arenado and Goldy, they're two players that I always hoped the Cardinals would target, and I loved it when they landed them. Right now, given they're both looking at back to back slump years, I feel like the right move is definitely to at least trade Goldy -- there is probably going to be a contending team that is confident they can help him fix their swing and give up a decent prospect in return. We have Burleson ready to slot in to 1B. And honestly, if the right offer is there for Arenado... It just feels awful saying we should consider letting two such greats go, but it really does feel like the better move right now. We need to move past this era where none of our young players are growing because most of them can't get consistent playing time (or position), and if the vets aren't getting the job done, then why keep letting them be blockers. If it was a 1 year slump, that would be one thing -- but let's be real here, the slump really goes back to the last 8 weeks of 2022. It felt like as soon as the machine hit #700, the team lost all of its steam. No one was hitting the last month and a half and Waino's 2023 woes were on display for all of August 2022.
There isn’t a spot for Lowe to play though. Especially when Edman and noot are healthy. I feel like we’d need a right handed hitting outfielder for it to make sense
Hey JD; PITCHING PITCHING PITCHING!! So your proposal makes some sense. Efflin is intriguing. I’m fine offering up Carlson, but Crawford could be helping Winn with his game more than we see or hear. That’s valuable and if true we see the evidence. As we all know….It all depends on what the Rays would want as well.
Kudos to Pallante for his improvements. However, historically he has not been reliable. Go get a proven pitcher- hopefully one with post season experience.
Curt Bishop's articles are generally panned on VEB, and he's a pretty young writer, but I guess that trade could be the basis for a move. Like you, JD, I wouldn't make it straight up.
If we trade for a starting pitcher who do you sit. I think 1 or 2 big right hand bat's would be better. Nootbaar comes back and goes to right field or left with Donovan plays infield Burleson goes to dh when Wilson catches siana avg 224 Carlson avg 210 Edman avg 248 none of them jump out for center
Edman is the best CF we have. He is also one of the best players on the team when healthy. He can also play almost every position if somebody gets hurt. Mo is an idiot if he deals Edman. It would be like another Arozarena or A. Garcia. He will be a star if he goes elsewhere
Pitching is always and will always be a concern , the Cards are one starter going down away from scrambling to keep the rotation in order ,cant count on Devil Magic all the time, if there's a starter they can get get him.Go get Max ,the Rangers are 8 games under 500 and hes going to be available and what better place to have him go than home sweet home. Make it happen Mo
Goldie and Arenado are not struggling that bad. Nolan is hitting .260 which is middle of the road for the MLB. Goldie had a horrible start but is hitting around .260 for last 6 weeks as well. They both have 33/34 RBIs on a weak offensive team. Let them both figure themselves out.
paul dejong has 38 rbis and card fans could not wait to cut him last year by the way pdj has almost as many homers as nado and goldy combined for 2 million dollar salary as compared to 60 million ..wow money dont buy much nowadays for the cardinals..also this may be a shocker but right now pdj is a helluva lot better fielder than nado right now should have kept paulie and played him at third we would at least have a thirdbase power bat...by the way maybe that week offensive team is because of goldy an nado
Let me remind you GRAY IS NOT AN ACE! Ace do not have two bad starts in row giving up 5 runs in a row. Any trades for pitching should focus on getting an ACE for the playoffs. Get MAX or bust. MAX could force his way to St. Louis. Then I would move Walker and someone else and get TROUT with half his salary paid by the Angles. THAT IS GOING FOR IT>
If Edman and Nootbaar return to the lineup, what will that mean for Donovan and Burleson (2 of your better hitters), or Siani (with his gold glove). Who gets sent down? Fermin and Carlson? Pallante has shown signs of greatness at times and then flame out when it matters most. He needs to be a bullpen arm that can eat innings if needed. They still need to get another good starter if they are serious about making and possibly succeeding in the playoffs.
At the very least, a RH bench bat (esp. against lefties) would seem advisable….Noot will make a difference for the top of the order (OBP), but relying on Edman & Walker is a mistake….& we should be past the point of thinking Goldy & Nado will rebound significantly - minor rebounds are the best we can expect from them ( an OPS over 700).
Pallante is fine till October where he can be a piggyback like Libby if someone gets blown up.. Scherzer should be the target finally being a cardinal with gray is thr best 1-2 punch we could ask for to at least win the WC Series
Yesterday pallante pitched like a number 1 or 2. Obviously all his starts haven't been like like that, but the july 4th game definitely was. Would have been downright incredible if he didn't give up that homer
We aren't in first place yet and we need offensive production. If Edman and Not come back that's exactly what we need. If Mo trades those 2 away we will barely make the wildcard spot if not just give it away... Pages and Herrera could be moved. We don't need 3 catchers.
Agreed JD. Bullpen help is key. Also a starter would be nice. Once you get into playoffs if cards are able to make it. All you need are 3 horses for starters and a great bullpen.
@@dennissmith5042 With a wrist injury, then wrist surgery, how real a Tommy E are we going to see. If healthy, yes, he is a catalyst, but for now, this year, I just don't see it. Lets hope he doesnt rush back and get re-injured. I hope I'm mistaken.
Even mentioning trading for another player batting sub 250 for us honestly is crazy. How low has this franchise gone? We might as, well try Baker and bring up Walker before then. I can't believe as bad as our bars here been nether one of those have been brought up yet? Were not going anywhere winning all these 1 run games.. Look at our run differential it's crazy we're even above 500 🤷
This series was tough to watch, still very much believe the things they need most to look at the trade 1. 2 relief pitcheres probably right handed, 2. A #1-2 pitcher that they'll hopefully keep for 3+ years, 3. Something to strengthen their existing hitting if that means changing coaching in the off season or adding to it at some point to help improve overall performance anything would be nice. The big problem will be the #2 starter like you said recently, anything that good the bigger money teams like a Yanks, O's, Pillies or even Mets absolutely be willing to pay more to get them and they have options to leverage (more so than us) to be able to achieve that.
I think the way to go is trade goldy then move burley to first that opens up your outfield put noot in right then edman is your 4th outfielder hopefully we can dump carlson too
@@tylerbenlien6093 it'll be tough to find Any1 to pick up Goldy or Arenado just because of their performance this season. They'll have to use allot of farm prospects possibly even Jordan Walker and plenty of money for a #2 pitcher.
First, i am not drinking the Pallante kool-aid yet. Next Gray is a low 1 or high 2 so we need another top tier starter or we will get bounced quickly in the post season. We also need a bat. The DH used by Marmol is often not great. The other day, Crawford was our DH. WTF!!!
You can never have enough pitching so the Cardinals should thoroughly examine the trade market for both starters and bullpen pieces. With the team having offensive struggles they have played a lot of close games which means a lot of high leverage innings for the entire pitching staff, adding guys that have the ability to chew innings would be a major add for the team. If the team is able to make the playoffs, who are you comfortable running out as your playoff rotation right now? Gray, Gibson, Lynn (all added in the offseason) and then who? Pallante has been good in a short run recently, but he has also struggled. Mikolas has not been great this year. Matz is out with an injury right now and hasn't pitched great in his time with the Cardinals. Whether it's someone for the front of the rotation or the back, the Cardinals need at least 1 more starter if they're going to be a legitimate playoff team. They also need to upgrade the bench A LOT!!! The team has struggled offensively with several players underperforming, but the bench has been even less effective at the plate. Assuming Nootbar, Edman, and Walker all return to the roster and are able to perform at the level expected (not a guarantee by the way) the offense should improve, but injuries linger and it is not uncommon for guys to go back on the IL shortly after coming off. The team's run differential is still deeply in the negative which means that they either win a close game or they get blown out by multiple runs, it would be nice if the team had an offense that could have a 4 or 5 run lead and then hold onto it a few times per week. You wouldn't have the same pressure on the pitching staff if the offense was able to put up crooked numbers more often.
Wow Chase Davis needs to progress more quickly playing A ball and you have guys on this roster who have been here for 3 years and have done nothing. I see now that some players are rushed to improve to the Cardinal standard while others are handled like babies.
my cardinal lineup1 winn2 nootbar3donovan 4 burrelson 5contreras 6 gorman 7herrara 8edman 9 siani or carlson bench saggese preito koperniak baker...cut goldy and nado and buy an ace pitcher and some bullpen depth
No you always wanna be expected for the worst don't say Pallante is enough because he could hit the dropoff ans decline big time. I would add some good pitchers maybe 1 or 2 aces that will take some pressure off of him.
Listen how can anyone dump one of the best relievers in the game . We have had him for his whole career because he gets hurt yes he hurt his back . Well just why you want to stay with nootbar he’s been hurt his whole time he’s been in the big leagues
Mo will look to add a low to mid tier bat like Rooker or a Timothy Ward type bat. Same with pitching a low to mid tier pitcher like Kikuchi, or Andersen from the Angels. The bullpen needs some help I like the Cronin kid from the Marlins he shouldn't have a high price tag. Don't expect anything more than this and you won't be disappointed. Pallante should be a lock for a pitching roster spot now.
I'm going to play teh devil's advocate. DO ou think a contract et extension would help teh batting averages and statss of GOldy and Arenado? It['s been known to happen.
First thing Gio has to go and Romero traded. Pallante is the Birds third best pitcher so keep starting him. No more Left handed hitters and bring back Herrera as a right handed hitter and catcher. He can back up Pages and Contreras can DH and learn to play first.
JD, Pallante is doing great! He should be considered the 5th starter. Tink Hence should be ready by spring training 2025! Graceffo is ready as well - NOW! Yes, see if we can pick up 2 more relievers at the deadline. We need a good bat or 2 off the bench. We have none!
This team needs pop stop talking bout starting pitching and bullpen help. We need offensive help idk why everyone wants to make it seem like nootbar and edman are going to come back and the offense is going to be great lol we need big bat. It’s just the cardinals aren’t going to do that
Add a #2 type starter. We need a very good 1 and 2 in playoffs. Have Pallante as a backup starter in case of injury. Draw from our AAA guys and Matz and Pallente as reinforcements for the pen. No need to add a bat.
No. What we have will not work. We do not get to face. The Marlins and the Nationals in the playoffs if we even make it. Make a trade with the Angels. We can help each other. They need to rebuild their farm system. We need Anderson, Rengifo, and Pillar. Do what it takes. Get off of your tail now Mo and get it done.
Andre pallante in common sense will not match up with the Phillies dodgers brewers braves all there #2 ace pitcher's lol he's done OK but he's not wat were missing to seriously compete n playoffs and we should trade nootbar or edman we don't need both were loaded with outfielders trade jorden walker too an get something good for him if we still can we need a #2 starter a better hitting center fielder and a high leverage reliever if we get them we'll b n good shape then go cards!!
Well,after his last start he said he felt great, I'm with you ,if he's available for a decent price they should do it, and finally get him in a cards uniform and at a time when it really matters. I gotta believe this is on Mo's radar
Go get a strong bat center fielder grab a good top pitcher & put Pallante in the bullpen as a Ace reliever he's done a great job filling in the 5 spot but he would be a bullpen ace with the group we have
Ok ok I have been in or around baseball for over sixty years . I have never seen this bull with starting pitchers . I have seen who cares about pitch count but now the cardinals pull there starters after 80 pitches at times not very often ninty ninty five pitches. And you all worried about relievers working to hard . Come on let’s stop babying starting pitchers. My goodness we havnt have a starter complete a game . Come on
This rotation is certainly not more than adequate for the postseason. Our guys are not nearly as competitive as Philly’s or Atlanta’s for example. Adequate? MAYBE, but I would love an upgrade so we can feel confident about our playoff chances instead of exiting in the first round again
Do you have a clue what you're talking about pitching isn't our primary concern??? Mikolas gets destroyed, Gallegos, Jo Jo is garbage the worst bullpen guys you could have. The Cardinals are predated on great pitching and defense if the Cardinals don't have that they usually lose.
Leave your thoughts on Pallante and these trade ideas down below! Will use feedback for a future episode
When Pallante has command , hes good. Keep throwing him out there. He may end up being higher than a number five. As far as trades, the guy I would like to see traded is not going to happen this year , so theres no sense in naming him. Maybe next year , when le loses trade value.
We need bullpen help before we need yet another #5 starter. When our starters make a quality start, they deserve to get the win, not have middle relief allow the other team to tie the game or go ahead, and turn that win into a no-decision. Puts more pressure on the hitters, too.
StL actually cannot do a bullpen game, because after the top 3 late innings guys out there, we can't get 9 good enough innings to win a game.

I bet the Cardinals could get trout for a couple of our major league roster outfielders and taking back half his payroll. Trout is getting traded bank on that.
Noot and Tommy can be the bats we r looking for. Pitching pitching and more pitching.
It would also help if Paul and Nolan A would hit better.

any hitter from memphis will not hit any worse than goldy

Check the National league stats. We are striking out ALOT. Many of our offensive woes could be helped by just putting the ball in play! Batting coach?
We need another ace Pallante is good enough to be a starter if he continues to give us 6 or 7 innings same thing with Lynn 6-7 innings then the bullpen has to step up which they shown signs

Get Scherzer seems like a good Cardinal story. Max pairs with Gray to a WS run!
Yes it’s to obvious only owed 13 mil and would get the most out of him being back home and he has a no trade I’d like to think he’d wave to come home
Would love to have him even though he's getting older and clearly his amazing years are behind him. I think he still would be a great starter for us
Pallante is fine till October where he can be a piggyback like Libby if someone gets blown up.. Scherzer should be the target finally being a cardinal with gray is thr best 1-2 punch we could ask for to at least win the WC Series
If you're there, you must be somebody. Maybe not great but you take what you get. You have bats you need throwers.

A #1-2 pitcher that they'll hopefully keep for 3+ years, 3. Something to strengthen their existing hitting if that means changing coaching in the off season or adding to it at some point to help improve overall performance anything would be nice. The big problem will be the #2 starter like you said recently, anything that good the bigger money teams like a Yanks, O's, Pillies or even Mets absolutely be willing to pay more to get them and they have options to leverage (more so than us) to be able to achieve that.
I think the way to go is trade goldy then move burley to first that opens up your outfield put noot in right then edman is your 4th outfielder hopefully we can dump carlson too
@@tylerbenlien6093 it'll be tough to find Any1 to pick up Goldy or Arenado just because of their performance this season. They'll have to use allot of farm prospects possibly even Jordan Walker and plenty of money for a #2 pitcher.
More starting pitching is always needed.
First, i am not drinking the Pallante kool-aid yet. Next Gray is a low 1 or high 2 so we need another top tier starter or we will get bounced quickly in the post season. We also need a bat. The DH used by Marmol is often not great. The other day, Crawford was our DH. WTF!!!
What about Nolan Gorman? It’s obvious he can’t hit and strikes out nearly 50% of the time.
You can never have enough pitching so the Cardinals should thoroughly examine the trade market for both starters and bullpen pieces. With the team having offensive struggles they have played a lot of close games which means a lot of high leverage innings for the entire pitching staff, adding guys that have the ability to chew innings would be a major add for the team.
If the team is able to make the playoffs, who are you comfortable running out as your playoff rotation right now? Gray, Gibson, Lynn (all added in the offseason) and then who? Pallante has been good in a short run recently, but he has also struggled. Mikolas has not been great this year. Matz is out with an injury right now and hasn't pitched great in his time with the Cardinals.
Whether it's someone for the front of the rotation or the back, the Cardinals need at least 1 more starter if they're going to be a legitimate playoff team.
They also need to upgrade the bench A LOT!!! The team has struggled offensively with several players underperforming, but the bench has been even less effective at the plate. Assuming Nootbar, Edman, and Walker all return to the roster and are able to perform at the level expected (not a guarantee by the way) the offense should improve, but injuries linger and it is not uncommon for guys to go back on the IL shortly after coming off.
The team's run differential is still deeply in the negative which means that they either win a close game or they get blown out by multiple runs, it would be nice if the team had an offense that could have a 4 or 5 run lead and then hold onto it a few times per week. You wouldn't have the same pressure on the pitching staff if the offense was able to put up crooked numbers more often.
We get edman back it'll be a big difference nootbar weeeellllll not a big fan of him but hope walker can pic it up
Wow Chase Davis needs to progress more quickly playing A ball and you have guys on this roster who have been here for 3 years and have done nothing. I see now that some players are rushed to improve to the Cardinal standard while others are handled like babies.
I agree taht we need to take our time bringing Ivan Herrera back. There may not be a spot for him.
my cardinal lineup1 winn2 nootbar3donovan 4 burrelson 5contreras 6 gorman 7herrara 8edman 9 siani or carlson bench saggese preito koperniak baker...cut goldy and nado and buy an ace pitcher and some bullpen depth
No you always wanna be expected for the worst don't say Pallante is enough because he could hit the dropoff ans decline big time. I would add some good pitchers maybe 1 or 2 aces that will take some pressure off of him.
Listen how can anyone dump one of the best relievers in the game . We have had him for his whole career because he gets hurt yes he hurt his back . Well just why you want to stay with nootbar he’s been hurt his whole time he’s been in the big leagues
They need another shut down arm for the back end of the bullpen to give Helseley some help.
We need one more proving ace
Mo will look to add a low to mid tier bat like Rooker or a Timothy Ward type bat. Same with pitching a low to mid tier pitcher like Kikuchi, or Andersen from the Angels. The bullpen needs some help I like the Cronin kid from the Marlins he shouldn't have a high price tag. Don't expect anything more than this and you won't be disappointed. Pallante should be a lock for a pitching roster spot now.
I'm going to play teh devil's advocate. DO ou think a contract et extension would help teh batting averages and statss of GOldy and Arenado? It['s been known to happen.
Cardinals always get the better of their trades! Beware if u deal…I still regret loss of Adam Wainwright.
Palante has been pitching pretty good for a no.5 , Romero and kitterich scare me lets get bull pen help
54 LoB?!? Geezus thats horrible lol 18 men per game wtf. No way am i hearing that right
First thing Gio has to go and Romero traded. Pallante is the Birds third best pitcher so keep starting him. No more Left handed hitters and bring back Herrera as a right handed hitter and catcher. He can back up Pages and Contreras can DH and learn to play first.
Romero needs rest to reset
I don't expect much offensively from Edmond till next year. Nootbar is another O'Neil. Not available. Walker is a disappointment.
Yea , forgot about geagous he does need to go sad but true
JD, Pallante is doing great! He should be considered the 5th starter.
Tink Hence should be ready by spring training 2025!
Graceffo is ready as well - NOW!
Yes, see if we can pick up 2 more relievers at the deadline.
We need a good bat or 2 off the bench. We have none!
bench nado and dfa goldy you do that and the cardinals will take off those 2 are a 2 ton weight around the team
This team needs pop stop talking bout starting pitching and bullpen help. We need offensive help idk why everyone wants to make it seem like nootbar and edman are going to come back and the offense is going to be great lol we need big bat. It’s just the cardinals aren’t going to do that
I’d take starting pitcher Anderson from angels
Add a #2 type starter. We need a very good 1 and 2 in playoffs. Have Pallante as a backup starter in case of injury. Draw from our AAA guys and Matz and Pallente as reinforcements for the pen. No need to add a bat.
Go Cards!
No. What we have will not work. We do not get to face. The Marlins and the Nationals in the playoffs if we even make it. Make a trade with the Angels. We can help each other. They need to rebuild their farm system. We need Anderson, Rengifo, and Pillar. Do what it takes. Get off of your tail now Mo and get it done.
Why do we want another struggling hitter?!?!? That's stupid!!! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no....
Tommy Edman voodoo doll? Steven over at Locked on Reds, I'm looking at YOU! 😂
Pitching a starter and a reliever!!! We have hitters on the ir and in the minors.
Still on the fence we need a stud pitcher to take number 2 spot rotation
Goldy and nado going to pic it up.in 2nd half
Andre pallante in common sense will not match up with the Phillies dodgers brewers braves all there #2 ace pitcher's lol he's done OK but he's not wat were missing to seriously compete n playoffs and we should trade nootbar or edman we don't need both were loaded with outfielders trade jorden walker too an get something good for him if we still can we need a #2 starter a better hitting center fielder and a high leverage reliever if we get them we'll b n good shape then go cards!!
Oh boy....Mo can get fleeced again. 😁
Just like Goldy and Nolan. Or, maybe Monty and Bader?
#2 starter and a reliever
Bring walker up for fermin
i want max sherzer it makes to much sense to not bring him in it would sell a lot of tickets.
Well,after his last start he said he felt great, I'm with you ,if he's available for a decent price they should do it, and finally get him in a cards uniform and at a time when it really matters. I gotta believe this is on Mo's radar
Go get a strong bat center fielder grab a good top pitcher & put Pallante in the bullpen as a Ace reliever he's done a great job filling in the 5 spot but he would be a bullpen ace with the group we have
Trout and Scherzer go all in
Still need bats but where you gonna put them? Still needs pitching.
Mikolas isn't doing that good we need more starter help
Lowe is too expensive.
Ok ok I have been in or around baseball for over sixty years . I have never seen this bull with starting pitchers . I have seen who cares about pitch count but now the cardinals pull there starters after 80 pitches at times not very often ninty ninty five pitches. And you all worried about relievers working to hard . Come on let’s stop babying starting pitchers. My goodness we havnt have a starter complete a game . Come on
I like Andre but want to see more
Need bullpen for sure
Look who is on dal and need to go
Nootbar is brittle. Trade him.
I repeat, pitching is not our primary concern. It is more than adequate, even for the post-season. What we desperately need is a solid bat or two.
This rotation is certainly not more than adequate for the postseason. Our guys are not nearly as competitive as Philly’s or Atlanta’s for example. Adequate? MAYBE, but I would love an upgrade so we can feel confident about our playoff chances instead of exiting in the first round again
This team would get swept in the playoffs outside maybe gray and he isn’t a lock Scherzer should be the guy to get
@@boschlosser10not at mad dog’s salary.
Do you have a clue what you're talking about pitching isn't our primary concern??? Mikolas gets destroyed, Gallegos, Jo Jo is garbage the worst bullpen guys you could have. The Cardinals are predated on great pitching and defense if the Cardinals don't have that they usually lose.
Exactly
Use Herrara and Baker as some decent trade bait?
Carlson Gio for bullpen
