"The Cardinals are interested...This is not only in play, but the Cardinals are one of the top two teams in baseball that are good fits for him." - Gordon Wittenmyer on the possibility of Willson Contreras to the Cardinals next season

i wish the cubs were in a better media market and a bigger city like STL...they could get good players, too.

joey votto is on the 60d IL and he's been in the CIN booth the past few games.

if you're not familiar with the weird headspace votto exists in...it's worth checking out.  similar area that nick castellanos hangs out...dude loves to talk, too.

higgins has the largest 1st baseman's glove ive seen in a while.  i wonder what model it is and how many dozens of cows died to make it.

From Baseball Reference: "Drafted by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the 1st round (15th) of the 2014 MLB June Amateur Draft from University of Hartford (West Hartford, CT)."

 

Some dreams die hard.

we've 'gotten over' lots of traditional baseball notions that make no sense, but are part of the game.

he's a lefty that can throw 93-95mph so obviously he's a shiny thing that everyone wants because that means something for some reason.

now this might be controversial...but...so what.

control issues aside, which are notable, he gets hit on both his fastball and the offspeed stuff.  the hitters aren't waiting for a vulnerable pitch, they can hit anything he can throw.

Well put.  I'm often the last one to give up on a player, but with Sean Newcomb, it's time to part ways and say "thanks".

Four Cardinal double plays through 8 innings. Bleh!
 

In other news, Cease loses his no hitter with two outs in the ninth inning. Solid single into right center by Arraez, the American League's batting average leader.

ohtani out here in the 8th throwing 100mph.

i know the dude won MVP last year, but i still feel like people underappreciate how next-level he is as a baseball player.  this kind of 2-way player usually only happens in highschool, rarely in college, and his only peer in the pros is babe ruth.

speaking of legendary stuff out of japan...he doesn't hit, but keep an eye on roki sasaki's career on the mound.

For those of you who might not be aware, ex-Cubs SS Addison Russell is still playing pro ball. He's 28 and played SS for Acereros de Monclava in the Mexican League in 2022, where he hit 348/443/677 with 24 HR and 16 doubles in 80 regular season games plus one HR in the Mexican League All-Star game and two more HR in the playoffs. He was the starting SS on the ML Norte All Star squad and won a Gold Glove. This was his second season in the ML. 

Russell played in Korea (KBO) in 2020 after not getting any offers from MLB clubs after he was non-tendered by the Cubs in December 2019.   

Starlin Castro -- the Cubs SS for six seasons prior to Addison Russell -- also played in Mexico in 2022, playing 2B and hitting 240/312/323 in 28 games for Yucatan. Castro is now 32. He last played in MLB with the Washington Nationals in 2021, so this was his first season in the ML.

Hayden Wesneski has been called up to the big league club. No corresponding move has been named yet.

    Jed has added Teheran, Tyranski, Kissaki, and now Straily and Nico Zeglin today.

    Zeglin is 24 yrs old. Pitched well at Long Beach St in '23 and well in some Indy Ball.

    They also added Reilly and Viets in late ST.

    Have to search for MiLB arm depth anywhere you can and at all times!!!

    25 in Attendance!!!

    Phil, is that a backfield record?

    Also, 6 BBs for Cruz in 2 IP. What's the most walks you've seen in one EXT ST outing that you can recall?

    He has a pulse. Apparently that’s the only requirement at this point.

    cubs sign dan straily...for some reason.  minor league deal.

    welcome back.

    zac rosscup is down in mexico trying to make it happen...maybe they could throw him a contract, too.  junior lake is his teammate.  shore up a bunch of holes with some washups.

    The great thing about going to live sports events is you don't know if you're going to see something historic. Today I went to the Cub game, after putting the liner back in my coat and fishing my Cubs knit hat out of the closet. I needed all that- my seats are in the upper deck, left, so the east wind was in my face. Both teams failed to capitalize on good situations, but both starters did a good job to accomplish this. So, we go to the bottom of the sixth inning. The Cubs tie it up, and then Pete Crow-Armstrong comes up. We all know he would still be in AAA if not for injuries, and future Hall-of-Famer Justin Verlander absolutely carved up the young fellow up in his first two plate appearances. So this time he hits a fly ball. The wind was blowing in and had suppressed several strong fly balls- including a rocket off Altuve's bat that Canario hauled in (does anybody else remind me of Jorge Soler?) , but the ball kept carrying and carrying. 107mph, legit angle and carry. The crowd went nuts, the dugout went nuts. Maybe, just maybe, I saw the first homer from a long-term Cub.

    Which was my original premise. They won the trades but lost their souls. They no longer employ the Cardinal way which had been so successful for so long.

    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.
