Shitloads of team control with our young players that can actually play. I went from not giving half a damn to being very invested in this team again in a span of like 3 weeks. Maybe I am jumping the gun here, but I wouldn't mind the Cards giving the whole coaching staff contracts right now. I would much rather see Schildt in the dugout next year than a "name" like Girardi, who is basically Matheny Jr.

You know, these are basically the guys that built that minor league winning tradition that we have enjoyed the past decade. Matheny bypassed all of that when they hired him without any experience. These guys know how to teach and take what they are given talent wise and win (despite often getting your roster raided by the big club). I I guess it shouldn't surprise us that the players would respond positively to that atmosphere. It is what a lot of them experienced on the way here. |

Where was the predictions on Bader? He had speed but I looked at his number and it was 55/70. 50 is normal.+ defender but not outstanding. Hudson had + stuff but nothing to get excited about and he won’t miss many bats. I could go on about most of these new players from Memphis that are playing way better than predicted. Small sample size notwithstanding, those who know, why did big data and analytics under value these players? |

I’m not surprised by Gomber, Gant, Weaver, Flaherty. They all had successful, projectable numbers that should be playable at the major league levels. I don’t see them as necessarily top of the rotation guys, but if they all hang as starters that is a tribute to our scouting and development guys. I’m with Hamas, we should avoid the temptation to go after free agent relievers even guys like Chapman. |

Some absolute butchery by the umpires in the top of the first created a one-run deficit.

Cecil brings back the Matheny stink. I wish they would just DFA his ass.
