I don't think our staff is good but c'mon. Yesterday's game was an incredible outlier in terms of BABIP. George Springer had 5 hits and 4 of them were below 83 mph exit velo. That is incredibly lucky. Bichette had 4 hits and 3 of them were 86 mph exit velo or below. Those are exit velos that are almost always outs that account for 7 hits in one game.

Again, I am not saying Miles is going to be some Cy Young candidate but I would bet on him being much better and luckier throughout the year. It wasn't like these balls were in areas that the shift would stop, they were just broken bat hits that looped in, etc.

That was one of the most frustrating games I've ever watched.

16 of the 19 hits for the bj's were singles, most of those were so poorly hit they didn't carry for an out and the winning run was a sac fly.

Hopefully Contreras is okay, so far all tests have come back negative. Kniz's sac bunt pop out and dropped foul tip were brutal.

Contreras is the most important player on the roster in terms of staying healthy. Even if Goldschmidt or Arenado go down, the guys we can slot in there are at least capable of playing at not just replacement level, but closer to league average. Knizner aspires to be replacement level.

After a poor first few innings in, control wise, Flaherty is starting to gain control of his pitches better. 1-2-3 5th inning. Still throwing a shut out and hasn't allowed a hit yet.

Donovan is a good 2B. Our infield is solid.
They have the best infield in baseball. The outfield is one of the worst however, too inconsistent.

Really enjoy Chip as new Cards voice also. Thrilled Danny is gone, never deserved the job anyways.

I disagree with them being one of the worst. They are average/slightly above average. And I want to see how Walker progresses through the year.


Agree about Chip. He's good.

Carlson is going to get traded I think. Nootbaar gets hurt and them passing up Carlson straight to Burleson is pretty telling.
I'd trade O'Neill over him if Carlson can hit even .260. Tyler is way too inconsistent and a K machine. Both provide strong defense.

Carlson is deep in the Dog House right now. And O'Neill is basically acting like a posable action figure for team. I could see a reason for either of them being moved. But I think the club is still sour about Carlson hiding his injury for so long last year.

another reason to take carlson is he is a switch hitter and this team needs more pop from LHB

Carlson's stats as a LH are not good. And O'Neill's numbers as a Righty vs Righty are better than Carlson's vs Righty. Carlson is a poor Switch hitter, he should switch to full time RH.
