OT: OT: Lets Go Cardinals! (All Baseball Talk Here) Part 2

still not good enough

I like the trade. Moving a 5th/6th outfielder for much-needed late inning relief help makes a lot of sense to me.

 

[PerryTurnbullfan]

Still not done yet….

 

[tfriede2]

Well I’ll be looking for Palacios to be an all-star next season, then, haha

he will win MVP now

 

[PJJJP]

Well they hired Chaim Bloom as an advisor. This is a good move imo as he had a big part in the pitching development of the Rays

 

[bleedblue1223]

They signed Matt Carpenter. WTF.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

They couldn’t pass up the opportunity of having a 3rd straight season with a retirement tour.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Matt Adams is still out there somewhere right? Allen Craig? Bring the whole gang back f*** it.

 

[Mike Liut]

The legend of Marp lives. 3 years of greatness and 7 years of suck.

 

[TheDizee]

They signed Matt Carpenter. WTF.

Need to resign Kolten Wong next!

Bernie: The Cardinals Love History And Nostalgia. So, Hello Again Matt Carpenter! - Scoops Sports Network

The Nostalgia Tour continues. Matt Carpenter is a Cardinal again. He agreed to a one-year contract in an arrangement announced by the team on Friday. Were you surprised by the news? I can’t say that I expected it … but no, it isn’t surprising. Not at all. This is what the Cardinals do. From...

I like nostalgia. But I like to watch winning baseball even more. And on the same day the Astros signed the best free-agent reliever on the market, Josh Hader, to bring him to Houston, the Cardinals brought Matt Carpenter back to St. Louis. That pretty much tells us all we need to know.

Former Cardinals OF sounds beyond relieved to be away from Oli Marmol

In what turned out to be his final season with the St. Louis Cardinals, things could best (and perhaps only) be described as tumultuous for outfielder Tyler O'N

"I think in the moment, you know, I handled it in the right way," O'Neill said. "Obviously, you don't want to create any kind of division like that, but it was quite the situation for sure, man. I'm happy it's all behind us and Oli [Marmol] and I are able to move past it. But I think at the end of the day, it kind of turned into respect at arm's length. And I'm just looking forward to this new opportunity in coming in with a fresh slate and just working out, working hard, getting after it every day, and proving myself again. New division, new team, all that stuff. We ended on good terms out there, so that I'm very thankful for, I have nothing but gratitude and thanks for the city and organization in St. Louis. But everything comes to an end and it was my time this time."

Cards pick up Keynan Middleton.

Adding to the youth movement!

 

[bleedblue1223]

We'd have a championship contender...a decade ago.

 

[BadgersandBlues]

The Cardinals have made a lot of moves, but I still have zero faith in this starting rotation. After Gray it's a huge bag of meh, and every single one of them is old. So soooooo old.

(Average age cards rotation 34 years old, me 32 years old) Blasphemy!!! I'm In the Prime of my youth!!!

we'd be elite if this was 2013

lots of innings eaters behind a good D and a good offense. I really like the pen this year too. Im pretty optimistic this is going to be a good team.

gray is not a elite starter either

worst rotation in the NL

Gray hurt already

Gray hurt already

Don't we always have a pitcher get injured during Spring training?

 

[BadgersandBlues]

Ya this rotation has always been one Gray injury away from looking like a bottom feeder. I guess silver lining is that there's still time to sign Monty or Snell if Gray is out longer term. If Gray is out long term and we don't want to sign either of those guys though, we might as well start talking to teams about trading Goldy and Arenado, cuz MIkolis, Lynn, Matz, and whomever aren't it.
