I think you're right about Woodford. He'll be sent down. I could honestly see Libby come up over him and get the next chance. I think he's probably passed Woodford on the pecking order, at least in the short term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I'm not sure I've ever seen a Cardinal hit the ball as consistently hard as Walker does. Everything his bat touches is smoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Solid start for Jack despite that 2nd inning. Another series lost. Team has been a complete disappointment so far. How many wins would this team have without Gorman? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm liking Contreras so far too. He seems like a doubles machine. Nice to have a little pop back behind the plate after Yadi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He changed his swing and timing mechanism this offseason in order to catch-up to the high FB (which he could not get to at all last year) and it showed in ST and has continued. He's no longer just a platoon hitter against RHP either. This is the type of hitter we projected him to be when he was coming up through the system.

kgarrett12486 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 We are tied for dead-last in the MLB in quality starts among from SP's with 3. Pittsburgh, Cubs, Brewers are all in the top 10 in MLB. IMO, these things got to change for us to turn it around: 1. Gotta get more QS's 2. Gotta start hitting with RSIP 3. Gotta get the bridge guys in the BP established and right.

JonStark Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 This team is too talented to be this bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 We just keep finding ways to lose. Bad offense, bad starting pitching, bad bullpen. They're rarely all bad at the same time, but there's been one or two bad ones pretty much every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motter is a turd. Matter should jot be on a Major League roster, hence him completely clearing waivers. Which is also what makes this move so odd. I was going to come here and say, if we don’t see something change by the end of this West Coast road trip (a winning streak of some sort) and we’re like 10 games out/10 under .500 then we better be coming back home with a new Manager But this Walker/Motter stuff just shows that just isn’t going to happen People rag on Mo for all the wrong reasons. He has collected some impressive talent, including via the farm system. But he has yet to hire a single good manager. And clearly thinks he should also be in charge of the day to day. This all still goes back to not picking Terry Franconia. Just look what a real manager has done for the Rangers this year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
