Lol @ you calling someone out on a long winded, over analized rant.

The next Cardinals/Royals series must be around the corner. Bring on the backhanded compliments.

I'll be there with "the best fans in baseball" who never get over excited on measly fly ball outs or shitty singles !!

I'll take notes.

So lets talk about the 2011 World Series.

**BigRedChief** · 05-31-2015, 08:52 AM

I'm fine with Wacha/Lynn/Lackey in the playoffs. Martinez can take the one game if needed. We have issues with that. Wacha and Martinez need to slow down their innings or they will not make it to the playoffs. Neither has thrown 200 innings and thats where they are currently heading.

We need a pitcher than can eat up innings, not a Hamels. If we go for Hamels, they are going to want Reyes or Kaminsky. The cover is pretty damn bare in 2017. No reason to go there right now.

We need a #4 starter. You guys would know who would be a better fit than I would know. We could trade an outfielder, IMO thats Jay. And then what pitcher would need to be in that deal to get a #4 starter?

Correction: if we go for Hamels, they are going to want Reyes AND Kaminsky. And probably Martinez. Agreed that's way too much. There will be a cheaper option. Let LA empty their farm system for him.

Hated that so much ... Because I hate the cardinals, not because I was cheering for Texas

We're hopefully going to go the cheap route and hope we get Edwin Jackson production instead of Justin Masterson.

Heyward with more great base running

Good base running grichuck

kcpasco · 05-31-2015, 01:08 PM

What's up with all the bad base running this year?

Marcellus · 05-31-2015, 01:09 PM

How is this team so bad at simple base running? Heyward may have just dumbed down to the average level on this team.
