One thing to keep an eye this season is to see how much Cardinals management and local press are going to carry water for Matt Carpenter. He really belongs nowhere near the lineup, but you're still getting pre-season pieces talking about how he just needs to turn a corner and he'll be able to platoon or even start at 2B.

What's the deal with the 6:40 starts for cubs night games

I think teams are doing this early in the season before school is out for the year to get bigger audiences?

That sucks but the NBA does a lot of awesome weird jerseys and MLB should follow suit.

Mike Schildt agrees with this thread's title because he refuses to bat Matt Carpenter where he needs to be (8th or benched)!

Cardinals rotation is as bad as advertised, very good work in the offseason from Mozeliak!

This is good right?

quote:

After two full turns through the rotation, concerns over the front five that the front office diminished are on full display. Cardinals starters have thrown just 43 2/3 innings. The team’s relievers? 44 1/3

Is Strasburg injured? The Cards hammered him last night and he looked like he wasn't feeling great

You may think Baez's .447 K% is pretty eye popping, but check out Tyler O'Neill's .483!

After the Cardinals dropped like 13 on the Nats, I made a joke that I was looking forward to them scoring 10 runs over the next 3 games. Guess the joke's on me, they're at 2 runs over the last 2!

Truly pathetic. Come on, go to some really nice jeweler, the rings are expensive as poo poo from Jostens as it is!

Feast or famine offense is incredibly frustrating and stupid to watch. I feel like they have been this way for 3+ years now.

At least there's some feasting this year. The past couple years it just felt like famine for the most part

phillies closer deliberately nails Arenado in the high back and Shildt gets tossed, looking forward to SAS giving kudos to him for protecting his player

Good on Girardi.

I probably combined a bunch of sports commentariat Kudos to Girardi responses and attributed it to here.

Also, I meant "him" as in Shildt.
