Fixed: "Reds"

The moral to this story is that year to year, pitcher injuries are tough to predict but a one year gamble for an established starter (and lefty) made sense to me. Given their record approaching the All-Star game, it's a shame his health made him untradable. Ditto for Smyly.

I think it was a good gamble on paper, but in retrospect I think they should have been a little more concerned about why the Reds were giving him away for salary relief only. It would have been nice if they could have put the $20M they gave to Miley, Simmons, and Villar towards one player who could have contributed on a higher level.

Definitely not arguing the $20 mil could have been better spent. Especially the Villar and Simmons portion.

I can see why they didn't examine the Miley DFA more closely though.... the Reds were casting everything overboard that wasn't nailed down last winter, his DFA could have been interpreted similarly. But hindsight being 20/20 it turned into a missed opportunity.

Ah yeah, the Reds... thanks.  And yeah I would loved to see both them get traded at the deadline. However, Smyly has gotten on track and now I'm really kinda hoping he picks up his $10m option. Although sure would hope he stays healthy if so. If he wants to renegotiate and get more money and years I wouldn't bother though.

He needs a bit more development time in the minors, same with Nelson. If we're looking to contend those two need to start their seasons in Des Moines.

I like both of them and I'm glad we've gotten a chance to see them, but I think there's some development needed

stroman gets smyly's wednesday start because of shoulder fatigue.

Submitted by crunch on Tue, 09/20/2022 - 09:56 pm

schwarb hit his 40th.

leading NL in homers and Ks.

also, judge hit #60 if you're keeping track of that.

Definitely a remarkable accomplishment by Mr. Judge. I expect David Kaplan to be pushing for the Cubs to offer him $250-300M for eight years tomorrow morning on his radio show (and anywhere else he appears nowadays). Kaplan has been jonesing for the Cubs to sign Judge for the past three months.

WBC qualifiers have been a fun watch.

some of these games are taking place in parks that are getting lower attendance than highschool baseball games.

btw, there's umpire review in WBC, even qualifiers.

quiroz (lefty) batting leadoff vs a lefty.

okay, sure.  like 2022 matters, i guess.

Submitted by crunch on Wed, 09/21/2022 - 09:56 pm

p.wisdom with a killer sliding catch on a play he should have picked up on the bounce and have the batter held to a single.

2nd start in RF this season, 4th career.

awesome catch, though...career highlight reel stuff.

thompson returns and hasn't missed a beat.

3ip 1h 1bb 6k, 0r/er

he's going to be working out of the pen for the rest of the year for no real reason except we're almost done here.  he's expected to be a starter 2023.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.

    i have no hard data, but i'm seeing the same thing.

    there used to be some parks where that was rampant (colorado during the todd helton days comes to mind), but i'm seeing it all over the place the past couple seasons.

    I’ll spare the details which I’ve stated before but, in short, the Cardinals have lost their sight of their successful identity and strategy over last several dominant decades. From the beginning of the season I saw the Cardinals being in last place or near it again this year, and my prediction is that Mozeliak will be gone after the end of the season.

  • Bill (view)

    I would have kept Cooper rather than Wisdom, but at least I can understand why they did it.  In a team that lacks dominant power hitters, Wisdom can be a dominant power hitter, at least in streaks.  I suppose that there is always the possibility that the streaks longer in both duration and frequency.  I will be content if they essentially make a 100 % DH commitment to Mervis against righties and Wisdom against lefties.  When a regular needs rest, give them total rest, rather than a DH rest.  Do this for at least 2 months, and then re-evaluate at that point.

    This is Cubs adjacent but…


    Jordan Walker just was optioned by the deadbirds. For all the talk of the Cardinals development machine, they’ve really missed on a lot of can’t miss superstars lately. Walker has struggled. Gorman has been okay. They’re already trying to push Carlson out the door. Their pitching system has been so bad they had to go out and sign basically a full rotation over the last two offseasons.

    They’ve still developed a few of those pesky solid players, like Donovan, Edman, and Nootbaar. Their two best prospect to MLB players have been Adolis and Arozarena, neither of which is a cardinal.

    I hope they never figure it out again. Cardinal failure brings me such joy.
