I know that I would lose, but I would legit fight Ozuna on general principle, just for showing up so goddamned out of shape in a contract year.

Jesus Christ - Miller looks like every fungible lefthanded reliever we've ever had.
Just tries to throw sliders out of the zone and occasionally sneak a fastball in there just to keep guys honest. If he's lucky the guy will just swing at slop and get himself out. More likely they'll just spit on this !@#$ing slop. This front office is just staggeringly foolish. |

Holland gained 30 lbs in the offseason prior to getting paid because of how certain he was that someone was going to give him a long-term deal. Then when it didn't happen, he waddled his ass into camp when some GM was dumb enough to give him a 'bargain' contract and refused assignment to get into shape. Hey, remember when the Cards Twitter was telling us how brilliant Mozeliak was to sign Holland? Sounded a lot like the 'bargain' they got on Miller. The guy keeps shopping the clearance rack and he gets guys like Leake - who does nothing well. Fowler - who's in obvious decline. Ozuna - hurt shoulder (bet you even money Mozeliak knew about it but was willing to gamble because he cost less to acquire in return). Holland, Miller, Gregerson - washed up. He keeps on cutting corners with these acquisitions and in the process just setting money on fire. And when the Cardinals miss the playoffs again and he's brought back for no reason whatsoever, he'll do the exact same thing next season. Because he's an idiot. Randy Flores is the only hope this organization has for long-term success. It sure as shit isn't bagman Moe or his organizational stooge Girsch. |

I really wanted to like Ozuna, he seemed like good dude when I sat in left field opening day weekend last year.

Carpenter just struck out for the 3rd time with a runner on 2nd. Hell of a lead off guy.

set himself up by swinging at the previous pitch 1-2 feet out of the strike zone. Molina swinging at a pitch that bounced in front of the plate with bases loaded too. Fine examples they are setting.

Carpenter will probably need an extra day off after tomorrow for a mental rest day.

Best pure hitter on the team finally takes the pitch where it was thrown instead of trying to pull it and smokes the damn thing into the gap. Hell of an AB from Hose.
Now back to your regularly scheduled pull-fest where we get eaten alive by anything on the outer 1/3. |

JoMart needs to be an everyday player. Put his ass in lf or rf and deal with his crappy defense.
