ChiefsPlanet - Cardinals 2018 STL Cardinals Thread

Yup.

Given my druthers I'd take the 2 against Colorado and 1 against LA because Colorado is the tougher mark going forward, but that seems damn unlikely.

Gimme wins with Flaherty against LAD and Mikolas against Colorado and I'll take it. Stealing one with Gomber was nice but trying to get through those guys with Gomber/Gant at Coors and PDL starting against a weird lefty is a hell of an ask.

These guys having each others back and being on the same page is why we are seeing baseball that matters instead of that "meh" crap Matheny was running out there every day.

Murphy is as much a gamer as anyone you'll see. That dude will fit right in here, IMO - he's Matt Carpenter in a ton ways.

Your boy Carpenter is having one hell of a season.

Does he have a shot at MVP?

My Pirate's pitchers hold two teams to only 1 run in 5 straight games yet lose 3 of the 5. That sums up this year for my Buccos! :facepalm:

Dafuq?

So we didn't even claim him?

That's just goddamn absurd. He's an absolutely ideal fit for this squad.

We apparently traded for Matt Adams though.

Lefty off the bench?

Sweet.

With Russell's struggles you can move Baez to SS and get a bat the team desperately needs to simply make contact with the ball on a regular basis.

Hopefully a deal gets done.

He's actually played very well for both Atlanta and Washington.

Yea I'm just trying to figure out where he fits.

Just watched a piece on mlb network that the Cardinals claimed Harper and are in talks with Washington to complete the deal. They were not reporting it as fact, just that’s what they are hearing.

The Cards may pull this off. Winning the next 2 series would obviously be huge but I'd be satisfied with a single W against Colorado. Mikolas, Gant, Gomber is a terrifying trio to send out to that stadium and with the young relievers struggling to K guys (and Hicks struggling to simply put the damn ball over the plate), I can see the Rockies putting up a couple of 10-12 run games if we're not careful. I mean uuuuuuugly outings.

The schedule for the last 45 games was pretty daunting, but this is the week I looked at when we started playing better and thought..."if the wheels are going to come off, it would probably start there." That was a nice surprise getting the initial win last night. In a way it is almost like getting that first strike as a pitcher.

You get that first one, and obviously your opportunities for winning each series become much more likely.

I'd be surprised if a deal gets done with Harper.

At this point you cant expect to give up much to acquire him given that only 1 team is on the negotiating table and the Nationals would need to get more than what they would get from giving him a QO.
