MOSteelers56 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I know Carlos didn't look great, but I'm pretty excited about our pitching staff. The young fringey guys have looked pretty good in a tiny sample size. Also, my hot take is that Hudson doesn't finish the year in the rotation. I think the dude is bad.

kgarrett12486 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 This offense has already gone MIA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLunatic88 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 This is going to sound alarmist, but what we just did (dropping 3 in a row) is on the edge of disastrous. That is equivalent to about an 8 game losing streak in a normal season. Its going to feel weird seeing these equivalency calculations for this year, because it will never truly feel that way, but by the time we get to next Fridays game (if we make it there), we will already be 1/5 through the season. If Jack cant stop the bleeding tomorrow, it will be like a 10 game losing streak and we could be in some real trouble, as I dont know if I trust anyone else to shut down another club, which with this anemic offense, thats what will have to be done. All Im saying is a few (relatively) short losing streaks, or one long one can completely sink a team in this short sprint, even with an expanded playoff. And we have seen basically this same line up have a power outage for weeks at a time. Also, dont expect Carlson to be some savior, we have like 5 holes in this lineup, not one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll agree with 2/3. I still like TON. Bader and Fowler are unquestionably garbage, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttitansfan4life Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Just shut it down... Only the NBA and NHL seem to be working because of their bubbles. Traveling city to city just isn’t going to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveling city to city just isn’t going to work. Hate to say it, but I agree. I mean we're 1 week into season and have already had multiple cases on 3 teams causing postponement. The odds of finishing the full 60 games in timely fashion just keep getting less and less. The MLB and the MLBPA really screwed up their approach to this... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly and unfortunately the same will happen with the NFL and college if they even make it through camps... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) Hearing only 1 additional player tested positive. 2 other staff members... Edited August 1, 2020 by kgarrett12486 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Our season may be done 5 games in... Multiple more positive tests expected. This was exactly how Marlins situation played out last week before they exploded... Gonna be hard to overcome this and that's if MLB doesn't just call it...

kgarrett12486 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Molina, Whitley, DeJong, Sosa, Ravelo, Fernandez were the 6 confirmed positive COVID players. There is 1 more pitcher who's name hasn't been released... Yikes. We thought our lineup was garbage before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that calling up Dylan Carlson is one of the moves the Cardinals have planned when they're cleared to resume play. Two of the team's three most recent positive tests for COVID-19 were outfielders, creating an obvious need for reinforcements. Of course, the outfield had already been a need for the Cardinals before that, but we digress. Goold says that the Cards "had encouraging results from Sunday’s and Monday’s tests" and "needed the same Tuesday" in order to be cleared to resume workouts as soon as Thursday. The team's next scheduled game is Friday, although it's unclear whether playing that game is possible or if their return would be later in the weekend (again, if they're cleared). As for Carlson, he's expected to play regularly when he arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
