It was just sad watching the dude try to throw. You could see that his arm was just in tatters and that he was trying all kinds of weird shit with his delivery to protect it. He was all but shot putting the ball up there at times to avoid stressing that shoulder any further.
But man, Siegrist was a monster and Matheny absolutely torched him. Probably cost him a deal not unlike what Miller ended up getting. Siegrist is $20+ million poorer because of Mike Matheny.

I told a friend of mine the exact same thing after the Royals signed Siegrist last year or the year before. If I was Siegrist's agent I would have been in the Cardinals office everyday making a scene.
