Get Bosio on a plane to wherever Underwood is the day after the season ends to work on that cutter -

Denorfia!!!!!!!????!?!?!?!? What the [expletive]
-
I bet Wood is starting one of the DH games, that's my guess on why he hasn't pitched in a while.

Do they, though? Between LF/RF/SS/2B/3B there are 3,000 PAs. Add 200 PAs at C for Schwarbs for a total of 3,200 and you break it down this way: Bryant 600, Russell 600, Schwarber 600 (inc. 200 at C/DH), Soler 400, Javy 400, Castro 400, Coghlan 200. I'm still not sold on Coghlan being the real deal. If he is, it becomes a big time crowd. Not to mention LaStella who I guess has some value. However, has Soler been able to stay healthy? What about Baez? Unless there is major clubhouse drama, it might be worth the risk to keep everyone around next year (sorry Jonathan Herrera). This, nicely summarized and put better than what I was trying to say. Plus with being so young there is a lot of value in being deep with getting guys extra rest or more days of to try and work through a growing pain(s). Add in Joe's ability/willingness to not give a [expletive] about having guys stick to a spot and move them around I don't see a real problem.

So let's say that is what it took to effectively fix him and he finished out the year looking good. Do they trade him in the offseason? I say no, not yet. Plenty of abs to go around and questions to get sorted between Bryant, Castro, Baez and Rusell on the IF and OF (in Bryant's) case. Keep the depth Yeah, plus I'd like to gamble on him actually being fixed and then they could get more if they opt to trade him late in the season. Yeah, it's a risk, but hey, that's some sexy depth. Yup with the ability of Bryant, Russell, Baez and Castro to all play multiple positions. Questions on Soler, Schwarbers ultimate spot (hopefully he can catch 50-70 games next year), and Coghlan getting older/maybe not replicating this there's little reason to move anyone unless the value is too good to pass up in a trade. I mean Bryant and Russell should play almost every day and even with that Baez/Castro can each get 400 abs
-
Schwarber being able to catch even just 50-70 games either helps clear things or clogs things up (if he can't) even more as well

Let Lester go 120+ if that's what it takes to get through 8, imo
-
Why would Denorfia and not Jackson replace Schwarber since it's more for defensive purposes???
-
Does that mean he's elite?
-
[expletive] yes
-
Indeed and Denorfia should be punted to the sun
-
Rizzo did have cancer of some kind. I'm pretty sure it was his stomach or something tho, not testicular
-
What an ab by Russell
-
Soler, Torres, Zagunis and Underwood for Sonny Gray, who says no?
-
The collapse has begun
-
Idk why Wacha didn't throw him that big looping curve after like the 3rd foul ball
-
I don't think he's ran out a ground ball since 2006

I'm willing to make an exception and hope they are the most meatbally meatballs ever to have meatballed if they are in the presence of cardinal fans

This whole Harvey thing got me thinking, are they gonna have Arrieta skip a start or 2 down the stretch or keep him to lower pitch counts?

The road trip from May 17th-25th seems weird, logistically/travel speaking, 3 @Milwauke, 3 @San Fran, 3 @ St. Louis with no off days.
