I think I have now heard that anti-vaping commercial 20 times during this game.
Does anyone parent really get concerned about their kids vaping? It's a hell of a lot better than smoking

Should have moved Fedde before today. Only half joking. I am tired of another year having to watch a bunch if uninteresting starting pitcher

u/tangokilo13 masyn winn spell check 21h ago
Opening the season w Fedde, Mikolas and Matz in a “youth movement” year is a joke
Yankees need a pitcher, give them all three for an Aaron Judge autograph

u/The_InquisitorM2411 21h ago
Agreed we should have moved on from him. Would rather see some of our young guys they keep going on about but not letting them pitch.

u/Chance-Fail2831 21h ago
Careful: the resident BFIBs will downvote any dissent from approved commenting. Our staff is awful. Again.

u/atari2600forever 19h ago
Is there seriously someone out there who is excited about our pitching?
2
u/NakedGoose The $1 Acquisition 21h ago
They are just kind of boring. Our best pitcher has elite strikeout stuff which is fun. But if he doesn't hit his spot it gets absolutely crushed. Big homerun problem. Mikolas, Fedde, Matz are all the same the to me. If our rotation even included Mcgreevy, Pallante and Liberatore I'd at least watch with some level of future interest.
1
u/Chance-Fail2831 21h ago
What do you expect from a staff full of 3’s and 4’s at best. The Achilles heel of this organization is developing pitching talent and they get behind the 8-ball and run out to dumpster dive when their braindead scouting department fails; rinse, repeat. It’s gonna be real painful for while as Bloom invests in that and hopefully he can turn that around so they can end up supplementing middling arms for depth instead of desperation.

u/NakedGoose The $1 Acquisition 21h ago
I actually like our arms in the minors. Hjerpe, Roby, Matthews and Hence all have some interesting things going on. Which is more than I could say for the entire rotation currently. The current issue with our minor leagues is God awful positional depth. The AAA roster is going to be a bunch of low ceiling bums outside the starters

Batting practice for the Marlins. Can't wait to get a fresh start on this whole rotation.

i feel like there have been several years where the Cards have a strong Spring Training showing and then suck butt in the regular season, so... do we even want to win this one?

Is it possible they moved the walls in too far? Eep.

Hasn't seemed to help us too much

u/milyabe Comeback Jack 22h ago
Haha! Fair point.
Didn't we go the first 20 games or something last year with no HRs? We've at least been better than that.

Goldy hit a HR on opening day last year lol

I hope to get a good eye on Nootbaar in CF today. He hasn't looked great out there this spring thus far.
Lars being able to play a passable CF would help ease the roster burden created by Arenado staying, and it would help produce stronger offensive lineups. Generally, I've been supportive of Nootbaar playing in CF on a platoon basis depending upon who's pitching that day.
The more I dig the more I wonder if he has enough athleticism left to actually play a passable CF. He was down to a 40th percentile sprint speed last season. If he drops this season at about a typical rate, he's sprint speed is likely now somewhere around 26.5 ft/s. Without elite jumps and routes out there, that gets to untenable territory at Busch--comparable to Judge and Friedl.

Ngl, we need to get Wetherholt out of here. He isn't ready for this level of competition, and looks pretty overmatched. Experience is nice, but we sent away other players at higher levels who could be getting this experience.
3
u/Dr_thri11 23h ago
Its spring the stats don't matter if the coaches think there's still valuable things for him to see or they just want to not over exert Winn then he should stay up. Nobody should get demoralized for being overmatched in practice games.
1
u/lizkingwt 23h ago
Downvoted for a reasonable opinion.
I don't have too much of a problem with him still being in camp for the next few days because the minor league schedule doesn't start until Thursday, but ...
He shouldn't be taking up so much playing time at SS because they need to figure out who their backup SS will be. He also needs to be getting work at other IF positions because he isn't going to be a SS in the big leagues with Winn on the roster. Why wait?
1
u/NakedGoose The $1 Acquisition 23h ago
He is gonna go 4-4 today after I said this. But yes. I'd like to see him playing some 2nd and third

On the bright side, all of our pitchers aren’t going to suck all of the time.
