@dgoold I understand the rebuild, but they don’t have to torture us during it. Stanek’s MLB career appears to be over. I can understand losing and watching young talent develop. But not literally giving games away from a 34 year old reliever with no future.
@dgoold@JeffPassan On pins and needles waiting to see what return St. Louis got. Seattle has 7 mlb top 100 prospects, ina hoping we landed at least one of them if not two!
State of the Cardinals: a lot of $$$ invested in aging talent. Young “next generation” stars with derails in development. Signing old dudes to sit on bench. Marketing-branding all about former legends; still milking the past. The feel-good pill isn’t working anymore.
@katiejwoo Give me a fucking break, he gave up 5 runs. The Cardinals beat writers need to toughen the fuck up and call it the way they see it…Not enough pitching talent again, and an overrated lineup that doesn’t produce against top tier pitching.
@SportsCenter Aaron Donald and it’s not even close. Watt has played less than 8 games in 4 of the last 7 seasons. Donald has never played less than 11. In fact Donald has only missed 8 games total in his 9 year career! Donald and is not even close.
The Cardinals were one of the first clear sellers, but so far, not much movement. Other teams report the STL asking prices remain very high (from the perspective of some buyers).
Romero pitches 1 & 1/3 gives up nothing. Marmol takes him out with one out and nobody on. Puts in Gallegos who predictably gives up the lead. Yet Mozo the Clown says the coaching staff has done a nice job. @dgoold press Marmol on this STUPID decision in the post game please.
#STLCards Bill DeWitt Jr. after firing Matheny b4 the 2018 All-Star break:
“In some places a winning record, or even .500, is even acceptable. Not with this city, not with this franchise, not with its history, and not with the fans."
What about now Bill? Who gets sacked?
