1ip 0h 1bb 3k for maples...welcome back.

his command/control wasn't exactly sharp, but his slider was confusing the hitters...and a 97-99mph fastball backing it up doesn't hurt.

it's probably a good idea to give him a fresh inning and see if he's "got it" that night without putting a couple guys on base in the process...also, the catcher needs to be quite limber for that inning...

IF you think about it, only two pitchers in the rotation have had much success in the last 6 weeks. Its surprising they are only 2.5 games back.

In an interview with USA Today's Bob Nightengale after being fired, Chris Bosio claims he used the word "Spider Monkey" in the coaches' room of the clubhouse when referring to (white) LHP Daniel Stumpf ("Spider Monkey" is apparently what Bosio calls Stumpf because of the faces Stumpf makes when lifting weights) and was overheard by an African-American clubhouse guy who was offended by the name and filed a complaint. 

Bosio says Tigers GM Al Avila told him that he was being fired because MLB has a "zero tolerance policy" with regard to offensive comments/insensitive language.  

Bosio says he is "shocked" and "crushed" and may take legal action in response to what he believes was a "wrongful termination" by the Tigers. 

Bosio also mentions in passing that he and the offended clubhouse guy have been making "fat jokes" about one of the club's athletic trainers all season and that it's no big deal, it's just baseball.

On one hand, sure, it could have been an honest mix-up.

On the other hand, we're only hearing and likely only will hear Bosio's side of it, and he has every incentive in the world to cast himself as the victim of an honest mix-up.  And Gyeh, if I had a dollar for every time someone uses the defense Bosio uses, of "it couldn't have been racist because it wasn't the N-word..."  Usually a good tip-off that the person's understanding of workplace dynamics hasn't evolved past about 1965...

Stumpf has no knowledge of Bosio or anyone else ever calling him spider monkey as a nickname.  If any one wants to rush to Bosio's defense that this is just what he calls Stumpf, now would be the time to do it.  Silence, so far...

    STL traded away a lot of minor league talent that went on to do nothing in the arenado + goldschmidt trades.  neither guy blocked any of their minor league talent in the pipeline, too.  that's ideal places to add talent.

    Natural cycle of baseball. Pitching makes adjustments in approach to counter a hot young rookie. Now it’s time for Busch and his coaches to counter those adjustments. Busch is very good and will figure it out, I think sooner than later.

    In 2020, the pandemic year and the year before they acquired Arenado, the Cardinals finished second and were a playoff team. Of the 12 batters with 100 plate appearances, 8 of them were home grown. Every member of the starting rotation (if you include Wainwright) and all but one of the significant relievers were home grown. While there have been a relative handful of very good trades interspersed which have been mentioned, player development had been their predominant pattern for decades - ever since I became an aware fan in the ‘70’s

    The Arenado deal was not a deal made out of dire need or desperation. It was a splashy, headline making deal for a perennial playoff team intended to be the one piece that brought the Cardinals from a very good team to a World Series contender. They have continued to wheel and deal and have been in a slide ever since. I stand by my supposition that that deal marked a notable turning point within the organization. They broke what had been a very successful formula for a very long time.

    busch is having a really intense k-filled mini slump.  he deserves better after coming back to wrigley after that hot road trip.

    i know alzolay isn't having a great time right now, but i trust hector "ball 4" neris even less than alzolay based on what i've seen coming out of their arms.

    Neris reminds me of Don “Full Pack” Stanhouse.

  • Eric S (view)

    Happ, Busch, Dansby and Madrigal have a combined 25 runners left on base through 7 innings, with Busch accounting for 9 of those.  Seems like a lot.

    PCA finally gets a hit!  2r HR!!!

  • Charlie (view)

    They certainly could be coupled. It could also be the case that a team needs good players at the heart of the team and if they are not coming from one source (development) they have to be sought out elsewhere. I don't see the evidence needed to infer the cause.

    bases loaded for the cubs, 0 out...and no runs score.

    cubbery.
