Not really a fan of this

St. Louis Cardinals Oscar Taveras memorial patch raises questions -- Uni Watch - ESPN

 

[005]

As in they shouldn't have worn the patch?

 

[YankeeVol]

They haven't worn it yet....but I don't think they should

poor phrasing from me, no doubt.

idk.

 

[JohnMarxism]

I say no to the patch. Not that it matters what I say.

I think the Cardinals edge out the Pirates for the NL Central Division title in 2015.

Fair enough

I prefer the talking heads not select us to win the Central. We tend to do better when the "experts" don't pick us to win our own division.

As for Waino, I really hope that all of this is actually precautionary. The Redbirds front office is one of the worst offenders of withholding the complete truth when it comes to these matters.

Where will Jason Heyward hit in the Cards lineup? I hear the Cards want him to hit with more power but I don't think he's a power hitter.

Anywhere between 2-6, with 3 being ideal. He's versatile which is one of the reasons he was brought in. It should be fun to watch his development

He'll be managed a lot better in St. Louis than he was in Atlanta with Fredi.

There are times when I get frustrated with Matheny but then I have to remind myself that it could be worse.

True, but mediocrity is not the standard in St. Louis. I expect less bone-headed decisions from Matheny this season.

Well, I do expect good decisions from our front office too.

 

[JohnMarxism]

Excellent start by Martinez. Very good outing for Cooney, too.

Each time I read Dan Haren's name or see his face I wonder what could have been if he had stayed in St. Louis and developed under Duncan. We will never know.

Great start to kick off spring training.

 

[AntiochVol]

I would like to see Martinez get that 5th spot in the rotation.

Me too. Although, I'm just as excited about Marco

Rasmus looks back at time with Cards : Sports

Interesting interview with Colby. Although, I still don't think even Matheny would play him.

In other news, it's inspiring to see Pham and Stanley do well yesterday.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Rumors swirling that Molina's weight loss can be attributed to shake and bake meth.

Cocaine is my usual drug of choice to lose weight

 

[AntiochVol]

So far, it seems we have a real good problem to have. Marco, Carlos, and Jaime have all been very solid.

I'm hoping Pham's injury today isn't serious because I could see him replacing Bourjous as that utility outfielder.

 

[JohnMarxism]

I'm perfectly fine with Marco taking the 5th spot in the rotation if the season started today. Carlos is a fighter and will keep it a competition. He's good enough for Matheny to flirt with idea of a 6 man rotation. I know it won't happen but it's fun to pretend.

I'll be at AutoZone Park April 3rd when the Cards take on its AAA affiliate.

I was too slow to order the tickets online before they sold out
