Some of you developmental guys answer this question.....why is Carlson still in Springfield not even playing in games?

Fowler is even out. That’s 3 open OF positions. He could pinch hit. Be a defensive Replacement. Play some in a double header. Which 3 OF players are doing so great that there is just no room for him to get any AB’s.

He needs to learn how to hit MLB sliders and change ups, right? How does he learn down there with no games and no MLB pitching to practice against?

What am I missing?

How did he get sent down, injury or??????

Dylan Carlson’s first game back. 2-3 with a 3 run homer to break the game open late. :thumb:

This will be the first time in about 25 years that I will not watch a single baseball game.

3. Due to COVID
2. Due to my Pirates suck big fat donkey dick
1. I've lost interest since my Chief's got Mahomes and we won the Super Bowl!

The Pirate fans deserve better. They stuck with the team through DECADES of bad baseball.

The Negro League uniforms the Cardinals are wearing are legit good.

They need to make that an annual thing. Cool uniforms on both sides and a great cause.

6-18 since returning with a home run, 2 doubles, triple with 6 RBI’s.

What a shit-ass team. Imagine letting Brad Miller lead your team in home runs.

Fire Mozeliak

I hope they lose tomorrow.

Why? This is a .500 team, were before the season, are now. They’re playing up to expectations of the poorly constructed roster.

No 3 million fans and a .500 team? Dewallet should fire Mo

We made the playoffs. Dewitt is already prepping an extension. :banghead:

Yay us,16th best team in MLB! All hail Mo!

At least they won one playoff game. Thought they'd get smoked bad. Carlson batting 4th and looking good.

With KK, Waino, and Flaherty, I figured they would actually beat the Padres, and have a chance against the Dodgers. Then nothing will change next year to improve a .500 team...

You would have to hate this format if your team is stacked. Any other Card playoff team and you would be feeling pretty good, but this lineup is pocket deuces going up against a flop of all paint...it isn't likely to last past the turn.

This year's playoff format is dumb as ****. Three game series are pointless.

4 teams in each league. 7 game series. Anything more than that is dumb luck.

This gives a bad Cardinal team. Which this is a complete dogshit team. It gives them a legit chance with the short series.

Baseball will eventual expand to 32 and the 8 team playoff will be here to stay. My proposal is this for the Wild Card round. The 3 game series at 4 division winners (you know this coming when they go to 32). Division winner only has to win 1, wild card has to win 3. I think that would put some excitement and urgency in the wild card round, while making sure regular season is still important.

Great that we had a victory, let's keep it going. I was able to watch the Cardinals game last Friday across the street at the Bud Brewhouse. All-inclusive tickets, it felt great to watch a game again.

Well if we're here, might as well win the whole damn thing

Hate to complain in a 4-0 game, but Padres are getting calls here that the Cardinals aren’t.

Gallegos :facepalm: good lord

When he is good he is good and when he isn't, it looks like that.

The 2 lead off walks with a 4 run lead...cabrara just at fault. But but 98 mph!

Did I hear that right, they have no starting pitching left? It’s a bullpen game tomorrow, against Flaherty? How’s that possible after two games?

Mother****ers going to get blown out tomorrow too if they don’t start throwing strikes until it’s 2-0 and they’ve already walked the first batter.

I swear this team has won one and then lost the next game for like 2 straight months it seems

Their top 2 starters got hurt right before the playoffs...or the Birds were toast in 2 games.

Ponce turd Leon

They've got like 3 dudes that would have hit 50 bombs in a 162 season...impressive.

Reminds me of the Manny/Thome Indians

Good lord....

Could have had Tatis, family and him wanted to go to the Cardinals but they wanted to save $50K? :shake: Sounds so Mo.

Thanks for being cheap on Tatis, Mo!! Fure that POS

God this game is awful.

Even before the Cardinals started losing this game was awful. I love baseball more than anyone I know and I don’t have the attention span nor the time for a 5 hour ****ing game.

Imagine Roberts and Tatis in this line up for what is chump change these days.

Nah man we get treated to Carp whiffing on ball 4 instead of loading the bases.

Well...at least we didn't get swept by the Marlins.

But yeah, team goes 26-3 when scoring 4 or more runs in the regular season, 16-0 when scoring 6 or more and then steps on its dick in the post-season when it scores 9.

Losing teams lose. And man, I don't know if this is a losing team, but it damn sure isn't a winning team. And having to burn Flaherty in this series means that any scant hopes we had of upsetting the Dodgers in a short series are likely shot as well.

Who really cares? We're just marking time toward 2022 anyway in the hopes that Liberatore, Gorman, Herrera and maybe Torres are actual major league ballplayers.

This Carpenter/Miller/Fowler era as a bridge w/ Yadi/WW just cannot end soon enough.

Again, that's a DeWitt call. Not Mo.

DeWitt's the reason why Robert isn't STL currently, not Mo.

Don't care. Fire him.

Firing Mo is the equivalent to using a vacuum cleaner when the roof is on fire to clean the floor.

Don't give a shit

The DeWitts selling the team solves the problem , not firing Mo/Girsch.

This is going to be one of those games where they get 2 hits against scrubs, isn’t it?

Nope

How have the DeWitts spending pattern from 2015 onward make you believe they care about competing to go along with generating a profit?

Bill DeWitt Jr. is on record as saying they didn't want to sign Robert because of what they'd have to pay him later on.

I've discussed this with DJ before (and we disagreed), but Mo's Carl Peterson post-Marty currently in which ownership wants to be just good enough without having to rebuild.

Strike zone is a joke again tonight. Cards are screwed.

How can that be true? After 6 years of service, sure but what he was asking was welll worth 6 years of service.

I think most that post here agree that Dewitt's plan is to develop talent and sneak into the playoffs and hope the team gets hot in the playoffs like 2011.

Yet, that flaw is in the why Roberts and Tatis arn't on this team. Sure they worked out and there are probably 20 others that got that same money and didn't work out for the teams. Its a gamble. Dewitt wont put the big money in on the potential star baseball player. Just the ones who's ceiling is an average MLB player.

Not a chance in hell of the Dewitts selling the team. They are the baseball owner royalty. The only chance we have is to change their behavior. And the only way that happens is to get so bad with the fans, that they stay home and effect his bottom line. Soooo thats really a distraction. Fans arn't going to abandon this team in the stands in large numbers.


Mo can be fired for cause, His trades are for shit, His FA signings are for shit.

LETS GO PADRESSSSS

Hosmers limp worm burners probably give you a chubby

Hard as a diamond.

Don’t you have somewhere to be drunk at now?

I can change that for you if you meet me in the bathroom at the Wahlburger’s in Olathe.

Jesus, you're awful at this.

Give it another go.

You gonna drain me billay style? I'll get an uber if so, cuz' I'm hammed right now.

I’m going to stick your dick so far in my mouth you’ll have to wash the stomach acid off when I’m done.

I was making a reference to a TV show.

Horrible swings by Fowler and Bader. 5 different pitchers in 5 innings. 3 lousy hits.

Glad We are seeing 2019 Flaherty to give us a chance.

These teams are going to strand 100 runners

Apologies. Missed it entirely. Maybe you're good at this and I'm uncultured swine?

Damn, didn't know Hos could do something other than ground meekly to the right side

Going to be fitting when a scrub bullpen start by the Padres ends the Cards season with their ACE ON THE MOUND.

Facing a turd in the 6th. 14 walks in 17 innings and an era near 6...

So, Brad Miller lead this team in home runs and never even took an at bat in October?

Fowler really thought he had that ROFL

Flaherty did his job. 6 innings of 1 run ball against that stacked lineup was a #1 starter performance.

Losing because of the same BS we have seen all year, offense disappears way too much and too often.

Same problem with Schildt they had with Matheny. The team is soft as ****. Don’t handle pressure for shit.

Just walked another run in after shit bunch of defense and no hitting. A bunch of mental midgets.

I mean Reyes got 7 ****ing outs that inning, not sure what more you want from him.

Yeah, Reyes was great. Faced a bunch a top shelf hitters and none got the ball out of the infield.

The Padres are the first team in history to use 8 pitchers in 3 straight post season games.

NLC getting swept out of the playoffs.

If we're being fair here the Padres areba bit early but there is no denying that talent level.The Cards hanging in is an accomplishment.

These Padres and Dodgers offense’s are going to be hard for whoever comes out of the American League to beat.

Fitting that a frustrating game like that ends with a strike out of the last 3 batters looking.

It's probably not the best though losing to a team that's missing it's top 2 starters.

He was my favorite player growing up.
