We need Jordan Walker to become a 280 avg 30 hr 100 rbi guy. Hopefully last 14 months were aberration.

Unfortunately Goldy and Nolan are showing their age. Although I love him as a player I think resigning Goldy would be a big mistake.

time for Moz to retire. Bloom to take over and go young. Wynn, Burleson, Donovan, Herera, Walker(please), and Gorman (please) are future of the team. Trade Contreras Matz Gray Gibson and Lynn.

Not many will agree with the bolded. But trading the 3 we can (Gibson and Lynn were 1 year deals) isn't a bad idea in my opinion. I am not a Contreras fan and never have been. And I just don't think the Gray signing was smart either. The fact that he is homer prone is worrisome to me.

When Cardinals got Pham, he had a great first week. Since then, not so much. Last night they have him pinch hit for Burleson and he goes 0-2. Tonight he has two check swings in a row on pitches high and out of the zone and strikes out.

It is for teams that have trouble getting fans into the stands. In the past the Cardinals would have a few games with deeply discounted prices after the kids went back to school. This is a little more of a discount than what I have seen.

Nolan Arenado, like the great veteran that he is, was quick to credit the teammates that made his heroics on the night possible. Speaking to Bally Sports Midwest reporter Jim Hayes immediately after the game, Arenado showered Winn and Scott with praise, with the third baseman even calling the former the Cardinals’ best player.

“Masyn’s been our best player, man. This guy’s a stud. I couldn’t be more impressed with the guy, with the way he works. And he’s a smart man, he’s smart with his work,” Arenado said. “And Vic, man, he’s just making strides every day. I’m happy to drive ’em in, man. They did their job, and it was about time I did mine.”


It’s hard to argue against Arenado’s assessment of Masyn Winn. Despite being just 22 years of age, Winn has emerged as an all-around star for the Cardinals; in addition to playing quality defense in the most difficult position in the infield, he has also been a positive contributor on the plate, slashing .286/.335/.424. Winn leads the team in WAR, per Fangraphs, with 3.3 — a testament to how great of a young player he already is.

I agree completely with Nado about Winn..............................

I don't mind the Gray signing. He is a 5-7 inning guy that has good control. The problem I have is the Cardinals signed him as the #1 starter when he is a #2 starter at best and would thrive from the 3 hole. Positive is he hit double digit wins for first time in 5 years lol
