It still blows my mind that Mozeliak and upper management chose to not go out and spend more to sign Max Scherzer back in 2015. I guess hindsight is 20/20, but they clearly felt that they could rely on "our guys" already in the organization. The "Cardinal Way."

Guess that didn't work out too well with Miller, Weaver, Kaminsky, Reyes, Garcia.... the list goes on and on.

Yeah they blew that opportunity. How you could pass up bringing in a hometown ace is beyond me.

Why its Waino? His name is Adam Wainwright Asking just for reason Wäinö is finnish name. Something to do with that?


Because for a lot of nicknames, you take part of the name and add -o or -er.

But don't worry about Waino. We shouldn't be giving him any more starts

Why not?
He just went out and threw 6 innings in which he gave up 1 run and had 9 strikeouts.
Pretty solid compared to our other starters.
Just seems like they’re not pitching as much to contact anymore.
Too dang high of pitch counts and it’s making me a little skeptical

I was told by @TheDizee that Waino should never get another start and since he's "always right," I just assumed

Mikolas was clearly a flash in the pan last year.
thats why i said it was stupid of them to extend him but many others said it was going to be a "steal"

i didnt see anything last year from him that screamed elite pitcher to me. the cards could make a entire roster of horrible contracts signed by Mo.

Nolan Gorman this year is 10-21 with 2HR, a triple, three doubles and 8 RBI as one of the youngest players in the league. Dude absolutely rakes.
The kid has been nothing short of amazing to start his career.

I would not be surprised to see him get a cup of coffee in the majors next year.

That Verdugo chump needs a Hicks heater in the ribs. He peeks at the catcher on every pitch.

LMFAO. Ozuna with one of the worst baseball plays of all time. Just picture perfect seeing him fall to the ground and the baseball bouncing off the ground right in front of him, over the wall, for a ground rule double. And he could have easily made the catch on the track.

No idea why he didn't just look up and see where the ball was instead of climbing up the wall....

he literally had time to circle under that and catch it like a routine ball

guy is a terrible defender, complete with a noodle arm.

LOL I saw it on Twitter and when I started the video I thought I was about to watch Ozuna make a spectacular catch and then...that happened.

I'll add Harper to that list. I am convinced Harper would have loved to sign here.

Paul Goldschmidt is to Ryan O'Reilly what Bryce Harper is to John Tavares and the Cardinals should have had both but too much money was tied up in Patrick Berglund (Dexter Fowler) and Vlad Sobotka (Brett Cecil). Shame
