holt_bruce81 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Does Fowler sit? I know O’Neil is going to go through some struggles, especially when pitchers make the adjustment....but I kinda hope the Cards ride or die with him in the lineup, could be this years DeJong and hit you 20-25 homers.

Honestly, right now Id throw Ozuna jump on that 10 day DL and see if whatever is bothering him (shoulder/elbow) rest and see how he feels after some rest. Then make the choice in a week or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapman had recently broken Hicks' record for the fastest pitch of the year with a 103.something. Hicks broke that record on all 5 pitches of that AB. Crazy! But yes, his lack of K's is weird. Hopefully that improves with experience. I would have to think it would. I would hope so, but that is his biggest knock. Even though the minors he didn't miss a ton of bats...

kgarrett12486 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Miles Mikolas continues to impress. Congrats to him on his 1st complete game shut-out! He's been arguably the best value FA signing of the off season in the MLB... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Losing 2/3 to the Royals really hurts. That's one of those series you look back at in September as a potential playoff breaker... Hopefully Marcell Ozuna can wake up and get to the park on time while he's on the road... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holt_bruce81 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 What’s everyone’s feelings on Oscar Mercado? Dude stunk with the bat his first few years in the system but then had a breakout year last year and this year he’s absolutely raking. And he’s improved on his K-rate and walk-rate. This year in AAA.. 43 games, .343 AVG, .397 OBP, 8 doubles, 6 homers, 11 stolen bases 13% k-rate, 8.2% wall-rate, 135 wRC+ Seems like his fielding (he moved from SS to CF) and baserunning is ++ and his bat is just getting better.

Im glad we arent messing around with that Bullpen nonsense with Reyes. Thankfully Mo has said he will be inserted into the rotation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tttmikeb Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 What do you all think will happen with the rotation when Reyes does arrive and when Martinez comes back? At that point, we'll have those two plus Mikolas, Flaherty, Wacha, and Weaver. I'd be surprised to see a true six-man rotation. Maybe they rotate some guys through the 10-day DL for rest's sake? It's a good problem to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
