We'll see if it takes with Donovan but he's been working on it. And a name that won't make sense to you but is a perfect example is Stephen Piscotty. He was maaaaaybe going to make it out of AA until he learned to lift the ball and get rid of that god-awful slap hitter nonsense they teach at Stanford. He's an example of what marginal talent can do when they develop. He went from a minor league washout to a major league player with a reasonably long career. Now take a guy with superstar talent and the impact will be even more apparent. |

So...Jordan Montgomery is the only pitcher on the staff that isn't a broke dick?

This team can't pitch.
And someone tell me how a squad with an offense this deep is EVER rostering, let alone starting, Taylor ****ing Motter. Unreal. |

I'll say this again - a teams offense determines it's ceiling but it's pitching determines it's floor.
Fix this staff or these guys can genuinely lose 90 games. This is wholly unacceptable for a team with the fan support the Cardinals have. It's just a slap in the face of the fanbase. |

Braves are also the best team in the NL. But yes the Cardinals need pitching. They have plenty of offense assets that could be moved easy for pitching.

We have way too many talented outfielders/3B players. We are sitting players who should be starting because there is no spot on defense for them. Some are worth quality pitching to teams. But we have an idiot GM, so…. It’s not happening. Last edited by BigRedChief; 04-04-2023 at 07:28 PM.. |

You know the meme about the AFC West spending a half billion to beat Mahomes and they don't. I think you will be seeing that with the Braves and Mets.
