kgarrett12486 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Matz to the IL with lat strain. He's probably done for the year. Thompson will slide into his rotation spot. Mo said we will be adding (3) starters this off-season. Good to hear them publicly ackowledge the need for more than (1) external candidate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also finally locating the FB. Quote Matz had registered a 1.86 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and a 38/7 K/BB ratio over seven starts since rejoining the rotation in early July.

I can't imagine he'll keep that his whole career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s absolutely a new age thing. Could absolutely take it and run with it. Hopefully he’s the only Cardinal to ever wear it (for great reasons) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Down to my final 4 games of the year tonight. Was feeling puny so I skipped Tuesday, but I am recharged and ready to go! Had to make sure that Wainwright wasn't starting tonight, or I may have come down with David-19 again... If you take away the Wainwright starts, my record isn't that bad this season.

ThatJerkDave Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Well, we suck again. But I did get to see the debut of Masyn Winn. Alonzo threw Winn's first hit ball into the stands, like a jackass. We let him hear it for the rest of the game. Probably would have been more fun if the game was closer. Also got to see Richie Palacios' first hit with the Cardinals. Otherwise beautiful night with some horrible baseball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWood21 Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 The Cardinals are currently projected to pick 5th (pending lottery results) with 38 games remaining. The Cardinals haven't picked earlier than 18th since the Cardinals drafted Brett Wallace with the 13th pick in the 2008 MLB Draft. The Cardinals haven't drafted inside the top 10 since they took J.D. Drew 5th overall in 1998. That's an impressive feat. And probably one of the very few bright spots on an otherwise miserable season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Watching Kodi Senga pitch this past weekend just makes me want to tap into the KBO market this off-season. He's a bonafide #2-3 type and he was a bargain even with the posting fee. A guy like Yamamoto wouldlook really good a top this rotation and probably could be had on a $20-25/million AAV deal for 4-5 years. Assuing he gets a 5 year, 150 million deal, you're talking about a posting fee of roughly $20 million. That's a good price for a potential 25 year old ace.

StLunatic88 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I havent watched more than an inning at a time other than Winn's debut, and its been absolutely freeing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
