You have to have the icing rule otherwise a team that had any kind of a lead could just sling the puck the length of the ice at every opportunity. Icing makes the team with the lead have to continue to play hockey. Getting rid of off-sides has been considered from time to time. Not sure if it would make the game better or worse. But the reality is that it's just hard to score in hockey. the goal isn't very big, and the goaltenders are just really good. A 'bad' goalie will allow just 3 or so goals in a game on average. But I get it; hockey isn't for everyone. I got into it because a friend of mine played in high school and played a bit as a minor league goalie. |

Most of our hitters sucked this postseason. |
Wasn't Yadi one of the few Cards that actually got some hits in the post-season?
Not saying he was great at bat, but let's be real, Yadi's importance to the team is behind the plate, not at bat. And his leadership. |

He’s still at least average in his catching skills but still calls a great game. Although I do hope this is his last year. I’d hate to see a Yadi that has seriously deteriorated skills just hanging on to what once was greatness. |

He slashed .152/.216/.242 in the playoffs this year. Thats Baderesque. |

He wasn’t the only one killing us, but he certainly deserves his own criticism.
Yadi batting 5th tells you all you need to know about the state of our position player roster. Batting 8th is where he fits the rest of what is left of his career. He really doesn’t fit there well either, but if you have the other pieces and he continues to hold down opposing running games it is justified. |

Our problem is, as the guest on Bernies podcast said yesterday,....... we need more good dudes... I don't understand why AL teams aren't interested in Jose Martinez. The dude can obviously hit. Carlos still has top shelf stuff, maybe we get a team that thinks they can "fix" Carlos focus and make a deal for more offensive production? Just trade Fowler for whatever we can get, pay the majority of the remaining contract. If its only a bag of baseballs thats fine, we need to just move on. If Mo is your guy, Dewitt needs to just eat the rest of the contract. |
