After the Meathead firing, everyone in the Cardinals organization said they are playing to win. Putting one of the bottom 5 hitters in the league with bad defense in RF over a clearly better player tells us that’s just BS spin. I’m sure the locker room knows that truth too.
And even if you think Fowler is a better option than Bader offensively, you just made “defensive” moves with other positions, why didn’t you pull Fowler and put Bader in? We’d still have the lead, maybe. |

This team is no fun to watch. Fire the incompetent duck manager and they still lay down.

I’ve seen Munoz make two game saving good defensive plays in the last two games. Is that outliers or has he got better.
He’s hitting .324 since May. We could use that offense in the lineup. DJ and Hamas are you guys sure Munoz is not salvageable as a major leaguer? |

I'd say the part where he IBB'd the tying run with two outs in the 11th should say all you need to know about his managerial prowess. The great thing managers have going for them is that even their dumbest decisions work out 50-70% of the time. He got lucky as ****.

Jon Morosi of MLB.com reports that the Cardinals will release Greg Holland.
Holland cost the Cardinals $14 million and they had to forfeit a draft pick. In return, they got a 7.92 ERA over 32 appearances from the veteran reliever. Ouch. Holland should catch on elsewhere now that he can be had at the veteran minimum, but his days as an effective reliever might be over. |

If the Yankees decide to add a temporary fix in Judge’s absence, an interesting name: Jose Martinez. He can flat-out rake and could be DH, with Stanton playing RF. Other market possibilities: Granderson, maybe Michael Taylor if Nats sell, maybe McCutchen if SF sells— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) July 27, 2018

I don't think he's a particularly good major leaguer. He's a bit of a tweener in that his offense won't play at 3b and his defense won't play anywhere else. He's a born utility player, IMO. He's a fine guy to have as the 23rd dude on your roster. On this roster, OTOH, he's just another flawed, forgettable baseball player who has holes in his swing and hits from the right side. If you could trade him for a version of him that hits lefthanded, I'd friggen love to get my hands on that guy. The problem isn't Munoz as much as it is his fit in STL. |
