DJ, Hamas or anyone in the know............. Does Albert get credit for developing the Astros hitters or was it just natural talent or a little of both? Can he really improve our way less talented hitting?

I suspect it's largely organizational. The franchise, top to bottom, has embraced some of the sorts of tools that many Cardinals players have resisted. The swing vests and knob trackers and things like that are ingrained throughout the Astros organization. You get on board or you get gone. That or you're just a guy like Alvarez who's a natural hitter and doesn't need it. But this shit like Harrison Bader flailing at breaking pitches but resisting changes in coaching? Kid would've just been buried in Houston until he got with the program. It's gonna take awhile for Albert to have an influence here, IMO. Because it's going to take an organizational shift from top to bottom. |

Is Harrison Bader Broken? vivaelbirdos.com/ His public response: It’s articles like this that continue to fuel the fire .. There is nothing ‘broken’ about my game only work to be done .. More importantly NOTHING can break my work ethic .. 2020 baby ‼️ .. *throws article in virtual trashcan* |

Shildt with some much deserved hardware - takes home NL MOY.
But yeah - we should totally fire the guy. PGM man - dude's just never right about anything. Tommy Pham and Mike Shildt are the guys we should be getting rid of. Sure thing, champ. |

I mean yeah - I would HOPE you would know what was posted before you opened the thread. As the most vocal and completely nonsensical of his detractors, I would expect even YOU would have the common sense to realize that you're gonna get called out when MLB honors the guy you wanted to fire. For...reasons. But yeah - the team got fisted by a squad that was so hot it beat a team many felt just put together the best overall regular season in modern baseball history. And that's Mike Shildt's fault. You've not been able to actually articulate an argument against this guy ever, so why start now? |

Happy for Shildt, still think the rest of the front office are in over their heads with the stupid contracts they've passed up.
On another note, is anyone else thinking of going to London for the Cards/Cubs next year? Tickets go on sale next week and I plan on going. |

In search of a veteran relief pitcher to pay market top dollar. Requirements include being in your 30s (preferably mid 30s), and production used to be effective or highly effective but likely no longer. Pluses include recent injury history and most recent year was the worst in a long while.

I hate his BS everything is rosy crap every time he speaks to the press. But, every NFZl coach fiesvthe same thing. And since the leaked video, we know he’s different when it’s just him and the team. Maybe it will give him some leverage to push Mo and Dewitt to do something every once in a while like Larussa would do on occasion. who am I kidding..... |
