It would be ironic if we won the Peterson/Rea starts but lost the Boyd/Shota starts

That would also suck but that would be so baseball.  The Cards are going through one of those hitting funks I guess all teams do right now.  ours seem to last longer though don't they.

Dustin May is the opposite of McGreevy. His FIP and xStats don’t match his inflated ERA.

....should we get him?

If there is an Andrew Needz at some level of baseball he needs to be acquired ASAP

He's a guy I'd be concerned about hitting a wall because of innings.  He threw 132 last year but before that hadn't thrown more than 56 ever in his MLB career and was out all of 2024.

I think the Cardinals are just regressing to who they really are....probably better than pre season expectations, but still not a seriou playoff contender

I’d be underwhelmed when there’s better arms available. He benefits from pitcher friendly Busch and gives up a lot of hard contact from what I’ve seen, not to mention what mul pointed out.

Yeah he's certainly not at the top of my list. But he's probably a Colin Rea upgrade that could be had for pocket change.
