Do not sign Ozuna and his .240 average with almost 200 strikeouts a year. Try to trade or give away Carpenter and/or Fowler if any teams are dumb enough to take them. Pursue Mookie Betts if he really is going to be traded. Continue to develop pitching the way they have and choose a closer besides Marinez.Comment -
Umm they lost cause they don’t have hitting, not cause their pitching. It like you don’t watch or understand the games.Originally posted by jjgoldComment -
Cards overachieved to get here, if they were in a different division they would have been lucky to be wildcard. They have some good young pitchers though, they need another bat.Comment -
Pitching wins
Harper
Trout
Losers year after yearComment -
Carp extension and Fowler contract both awful, there no getting out of those.Originally posted by BarkingToad
Hate to say it but they kinda fukked. They have pitching but the lineup gonna be very similar, no Ozuna but they gonna count on bader and or O’Neal. Bader can’t hit a beach ball and O’Neal swings at everything.
They just gonna hope that goldy reverts back to the guy he was the 5 years before he came here and turned into a pumpkin (like so many guys we bring in do!!). Hope that Dejung continues to improve, he started the season amazing but really fell off in second half. Hoping his career continues on similar trajectory as Story’s. Hope that Wong continues getting better at plate which I think a reasonable expectation. I just don’t see them making many improvements to lineup with those horrible contracts they glued to.Comment -
Wtf does that have to do with cards? Pitching aint why they lost. Their offense why they lost. You have to score runs to win!!’Originally posted by jjgold
Harper a loser. Trout has never had any help. It takes a team. You can’t win without hitting or pitching!!Comment -
No they didn’t. The achieved exactly where they were projected.Originally posted by thomorinoComment -
Watched em all year, I don’t think they overachieved. Imagine if they could hit or in some occasions, just make contact. Far too many of these streaks where nobody can hit or plate a run during the season. Prolly not a surprise to Cards fans that the lack of hitting reared its ugly head again in the NLCS against an above average pithing staff. Man Fowler’s performance was cringeworthy that series. It would prolly benefit to have a manager that would be quicker to make a change rather than “stick with his guys.”Comment -
Stanton gonna look great in that cards uni.....Comment -
Spot on. Dunno how many threads throughout year I was going nuts about lack of offense. Dunno where they finished but there were several months they were sandwiched between tigers and marlins in wroc+, not a good place to be!! LolOriginally posted by jolyolyolymanComment -
Huh? We won’t pay it and he already axed the idea, it why we ended up w Ozuna.Originally posted by shocka1212Comment -
were they still celebrating after pummeling braves or did 5 game series and quick turnaround and nats having rest play a big partComment -
If they called Minny they could get Sano.
Fading STL next year thou
Wainwright and Milos Apostolatous or whatever ain't causing this team to 90+ againComment -
pitching wins
there hitters are too mechanicalComment -
We'll eat some of it.Originally posted by 2daBankComment -
Jack and Hudson will be leading the way, maybe Reyes? Lol. Kid never gonna be healthy. Carlos will most likely rejoin rotation. Pitching will be a strength as always.. we would love Sano!!Originally posted by MinnesotaFats
Speaking of fades. Vikings are a easy fade this week!!Comment -
They never had the second best record in the national league, to finish second in the national league they has to overachieve, their roster isn't as good as Atlanta or the dodgers.Originally posted by 2daBankComment -
Braves pitching staff not good. Dodgers are losers.Originally posted by thomorinoComment -
All those teams have their issues for sure, why they got eliminated, but altanta and dodgers season win total for next year will rightly be higher than cards unless cards upgrade the offense presumably ng team return the same core.Originally posted by 2daBankComment -
Cards win total should be way lower unless they do something bout those loser contracts Carp and Fowler got and I dunno how they can? God it killed me that Carp extension beginning of year, wtf were they thinking???Originally posted by thomorino
As much as Ozuna annoys me losing him just gonna make lineup even worse assuming they planning on replacing him w bader or O’Neal. Both who have huge holes in their swings.Comment -
Yeah I can't think of anyone more hurt by the shift than carpenter.Originally posted by 2daBankComment -
No shit., he declining besides that too.Originally posted by thomorino
Stubborn fukk too proud to bunt against it. They shoulda led him off again and told him to bunt every time until they stopped!! I recall one game months ago he actually did bunt and got a double out of it, then of course went right back to hitting into it shortly after!!
Sad a major leaguer can’t hit ball opposite way? They even pitch him away which should make it easy yet he rolls over on everything.Comment
