  1. Marquez is pretty nasty, he was hitting 98 in the 7th with a sharp breaking ball
  2. What's pissing me off even more about the Smith whathaveyou is that we could have traded out of 9 and scooped up extra capital which would have made the eventual lack of a 2019 2nd much easier to navigate around. Only a handful of times in the last decade have I felt that there was a non-pass rushing LB who was a must-have, and Smith wasn't one of them. Hope of course that he proves me wrong but I always feel like a guy like that can be found in the middle rounds each and every year. It bugs me that Pace locks onto his guys and isn't willing to risk a move back to stack chips.
  3. Wow I haven't checked in on Villanueva in a long time. He's barely holding his head above a 700 OPS now.
  4. That dude cannot get on base. This return is shocking.
  5. Smith is now the only draft pick left unsigned. This is pretty ridiculous.
  6. Newcomb throwing his 134th pitch in hopes of closing out a no-hitter vs LAD. Taylor is the final out. Base hit by Taylor breaks it up
  7. We're supposed to be running away with the division with all the talent advantage we have but largely thanks to the chess moves everyone loves to mock Stearns ran circles around us with their moves this winter. Between just Cain, Yelich, and Chacin they got 10x the war we have from our haul. It's a good thing you can field a roster with more than one off-season's transactions. I get it. I guess I just don't understand the harping on the 4D chess jokes when the off-season has turned out about as bad as we could have realistically imagined so far.
  8. They're playing a 6'4" 230-pounder at second tonight and he's never played second base in a game in his life. they seem to be a pretty shrewd FO so I guess i give them the benefit of the doubt that he won't be a tire fire there. and even if he is ... all they've gotten out of the position this year is a literal tire fire so it's fine.

  9. I understand the concern in not having the pen to last 5 more innings but I probably wouldn't have let him face Molina again
  10. Of course that POS makes the greatest catch of his career
  11. Ugh Yadi posting a higher OPS than Willy makes me angry
  12. They also DFA’d Tyler Lyons and sent Brett Cecil to the DL. This is as good a time as any to remind everyone that the Cards still owe Cecil $15M the next two years. We clown this as we get robbed of 26m from Chatcrap
  13. This scrappy middle infielder posted a 328/412/522 in his first 150 PA Can you name him?
  14. Apparently the pitcher not named Lacy or the PBTNL is not a prospect. Maybe Rob Z?
  15. So it's Lacy and a PBTNL This could turn out to be a rather shrewd move
  16. They said that and Joe also said he believes that players who grow up in places like Colorado where there's no year-round baseball tend to mature later than others. He's a big fan; not sure if enough to fully supplant 3AM but here's hoping. I saw on twitter he’s at .8 WAR. He’s a good baseball player and the FO has said they liked him a lot with some of his batted ball profile/exit velo stuff in the minors
