Waino can go to the bullpen or get cut. It’s harsh because he’s been a great Cardinal but he’s just not good anymore.

Waino does not look good, also Ozuna is trash!

If Ozuna could hit for power like he was suppose to you could excuse his noodle arm. At this rate I’d rather see JoMart in left. It would be hilarious to watch him play defense but at least he rakes.

This team has struck out like 56 times in 4.5 games. New season, same bullshit.

Wait, make that 57 now.

I'd be happy if Ozuna would just hit. At least he's not wearing his stupid Marlins armband this year.

I like listening to Edmonds but his excuse about it being cold is bs. Cold weather isn’t making these guys swing at pitches 1 or 2 feet out of the damn zone.

For some reason I keep thinking about the fact the other team is playing in the same weather.

Stop making sense!

1-4 after three trips through the order:

0 hits, 8 strikeouts, 8 LOB and a whopping TWO pitches put in play. That's the top of our lineup through 6 innings against a guy who was spinning every other slider right into the middle of the zone and it simply did not matter.

They're !@#$ing hopeless up there.

And really, the Pirates look like shit now that Brebbia is actually throwing major league quality stuff at them. So when we gift them 4 innings of batting practices mixed in with intentional passes and then elect to swing through pretty much everything thrown up there, we're gonna have a bad time.

Please someone tell me Dex broke his toe. I can totally root for that. It's just a ****ing toe and he'll be fine. It won't impact his quality of life or anything and all the mopey ****s on Twitter can shutup about me wishing injury on a player. Please tell me that he broke his damn toe.

Why isn't the cold affecting Wong so far?

DJ's left nut · 04-01-2019, 01:24 PM

I think maybe pitchers should stop trying to sneak inside fastballs past Wong for a few days.

You know he gets all fired up when he gets into one, so maybe take advantage of that fact and work him away a bit.

Because Wong's hands have always been among the quickest in the bidness - you have to use that against him. When he gets pull happy, let him do it and work him away for those slow rollers. But he can take that inside fastball and hit the shit out of it if you're gonna let him.

What worries me is he goes on an early HR tear like this and then starts trying to hit every single pitch out of the park and goes on a 2 month slump, then he gets hot again and gets injured 2 weeks later.

I get opening the season with Wong near the bottom order but, he needs to go up in the order. Wong should hit 2nd and just push everyone else down in the lineup.
