Walker sent down. We’re gonna ruin him. 

He needed to go down IMO. It's the best thing for him. They've given him every opportunity to correct it, but he can't stop leaking out the front hip.

Better for him to go down, correct the stance and mash/build confidence at AAA than continue the struggle here and ride the bench against pitchers who profile sliders.

I still cant fathom for the life of me why we keep trying o force him into RF. Why complicate the defensive side of the game when he clearly needs to keep working on the offensive side.

And Ill never understand how he was ever a 3B prospect.

It's really nice to have a stopper like Gray in the rotation. 

He's going to be a really appealing trade target at the deadline.

I must have missed this, but Tink Hence had arguably his best game of his career so far on the 30th.

7 IP, 2 H, 1 R (1 ER), 10 K, 2 BB

By far our best prospect, and not even close.

Not a chance in hell 

The Cardinals have a worse record than the Oakland Athletics.  Let that sink in.  We're not a playoff team unless there's a massive overhaul, or players suddenly figure out how to play well.  Honestly, the only players playing well besides Gray is Contreras, Winn, and Helsley.  Arenado is starting to turn it around after a very sluggish start to the season.

Oh we’re terrible right now, no doubt about it. But there’s no way Mo trades away Gray at the deadline. 

And I do Think this is a 90 win squad with a good coach. That’s the problem though, we need to get rid of the entire coaching staff. It’s not working. Oli makes Mike Matheny look like a freaking mastermind.

Is today the day? Is it finally happening?

Oh, I'm not saying they will.  But I'd definitely listen to phone calls on him.

And we're not a good manager away from being a playoff team.  We can't hit or pitch.

They just signed him. And he’s great. It would be an absurd move to trade him.

His return in a trade wouldn’t bump us to anywhere near contender either. You have an ace, trading him would be very dumb

I agree. When the entire team isn't show up, night after night, that falls on the coaching staff. If they aren't showing up prepared, as Oli has stated multiple times, that falls on the coaching staff. The only reason Oli still has a job at this point is because Mo is just as incompetent and can't admit another HC failure, but we aren't ever going to be a playoff team with Oli running the team.
