There’s really not a lot to complain about with the 26-man roster. Kind of surprised to see Thomas not make it. Excited to see Williams get a fair shot. Rondon should have been on this squad over Sosa, but not a big deal. He'll be up at some point. I'm not sure Sosa was worth protecting and not running the risk of exposing him to waivers. I think we know what he is already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with Carp locked in, Rondon doesnt really have a spot, atleast sosa can provide backup support elsewhere that we dont really have from anyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably not as good as Sosa defensively, but it's not a major drop off either. He's been about league average defender at SS and slightly better on the other infield spots. His bat is better than Sosa's and he exceeded expectations in ST. Just a shame he couldn't get the nod, as he deserved it, but I get it. Cards wanted to keep Sosa from getting exposed to waivers. Rondon will be up at some point though. I think his versatility and bench bat play on this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLunatic88 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Maybe its just an opening day thing, but as I threw out there, Yadi is hitting 6th. Edman - 2B Goldschmidt - 1B Arenado - 3B DeJong - SS O'Neill - LF Molina - C Carlson - CF Williams -RF Flaherty - P Really feels like its going to throw a wrench in this entire lineup construction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Schildt saying today that Reyes will be the primary closer for time being, until Hicks is eased back into role. Excited to see what Reyes can do with the opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Any season predictions? I’ll go with 88-74. Like our lineup for the most part but the rotation, I’m terrified of. Even at full strength, I wasn’t a fan of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgarrett12486 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Good start to they year for the offense. Flaherty didn't have it yesterday, but I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt as it was extremely cold and a lot of starters yesterday got lit up around the league.

MOSteelers56 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Carlos looked 99% like an ace yesterday. Unfortunately that 1% was rough. Bullpen is trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Not gonna overreact, as pitching staff as a whole got pretty much torched. I'd actually have been more concerned if it was just a few guys getting lit up over the 3 days. The weather was cold and most of these guys are still in ST mode. It seemed to be a theme across MLB, not just the Cards. I'm still optimistic this staff can piece good starts together until KK and Mikolas get back.

ttitansfan4life Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Great to get the sweep after a rough series against the Reds. This lineup strikes out way too much. Carlson should not be batting as low as he does and Carpenter shouldn’t even be on the team let alone batting 5th.... Also can we just end the O’Neil experiment already. Dude is hot garbage. Nice to see Flaherty bounce back this game after his rough first start. Hopefully he can continue this because he needs to be a true ACE with this current rotation.
