Their CF caught a tough ball and ours didn't. Ballgame.

Mo said you couldn’t get a SP for next year for a rental SP. How does he explain Oviedo? He gave him up last year for Quintana. He threw 7 scoreless against Brewers today and has started all year for Pirates.

[DanCCC @DanCCC]

Looks like Cuban Caesar Prieto can really hit. He was part of what Orioles gave up for Flaherty. Sleeper player.

[DanCCC @DanCCC]

Paul DeJong had an impressive career with the #STLCards. 115 HRs and 14.1 WAR. Good guy.

[DanCCC @DanCCC]

@thekapman Maybe your Princess Pinwheel LF ought to learn how to swing a bat without smacking the catcher in the skull.

[DanCCC @DanCCC]

Are the umps going to warn Captain Pinwheel (Ian Happ) not to whip his bat around like some posing ballerina tonight? And if he does, throw him out?

@SteveBooton Thanks, Steve. We are doing well. Work got in the way of the podcast. Maybe someday we'll resume. We both are still as opinionated. 😡

[DanCCC @DanCCC]

So MLB is fine with batters pinwheeling their bats wildly?

Mo’s roster construction: Taylor Motter at SS, Andrew Suarez pitching.

All in key game against key rival.

#STLCards

[DanCCC @DanCCC]

@michaeljeddy37 The white flag already is hanging over Busch. We are playing Taylor Motter at SS.

[DanCCC @DanCCC]

@tigerclaw265 true

[DanCCC @DanCCC]

Roster construction genius John Mozeliak has career negative WAR journeyman Taylor Motter playing SS at Busch Stadium tonight against main rival #Cubs.

#STLCards

[DanCCC @DanCCC]

@tigerclaw265 Logically, yes, but that would require aggressive activity from Mo -- and we know he's usually comatose during trade deadlines and off-seasons.

[DanCCC @DanCCC]

Confidence level is low that Mo can pull off a retool on the fly, requiring astute and creative talent evaluation.

That's not his thing.

#STLCards

[DanCCC @DanCCC]

This franchise is deeply committed to winning. That's why they are sporting a Taylor Motter-Paul DeJong-Andrew Knizner bottom of the order today.

[DanCCC @DanCCC]

#STLCards TV announcers said Taylor Motter has done a good job this year. His OPS is .531.

[DanCCC @DanCCC]

It was a given Mo was not going to add a good starting pitcher. But three middle-reliever types who were semi-reliable would have saved the 2023 season. Many games lost in 5-6-7 innings.

[DanCCC @DanCCC]

Taylor Motter plays and Nolan Arenado sits. Makes perfect sense.

[DanCCC @DanCCC]

Mo could have avoided this horrendous season with three decent bullpen acquisitions in the off-season.
