![]() If they are not going to fire Mo, they should know they need better quality batters. Winn and Waller may be a couple in a year or two. But listen to what Nolan told you, you need to spend some money on getting better bats and pitching. Surprise us Dewitt, loosen the wallet.

I’m sure Mo told him something. Nolan ain’t a young rookie. I’m sure he can smell BS as well as any 30 year old. He must have got some kind of non BS answer from Mo.

Arenado and Donovan get the gold glove.

I have never seen a pitcher with a more blatant tell than McCullers had on his fastball last night. He was coming much higher up with his knee and hands on his off-speed pitches than he was on the fastball. I mean he wasn't even bringing his leg past 90 degrees on the fastball - it was coming up to his elbow on off-speed. As a batter, that gap between his elbow and his knee is right where you're looking anyway - it's a GIANT neon sign.
It's literally the most blatant pitch tipping possible. But Dusty Baker, the dumbest manager I have ever seen - left him out there to die. And somehow nobody was like "uh, hey - maybe stop doing that because my grandmother can spot it and she's legally blind..." Hey Houston - it's quite a bit easier to hit when they know if a fastball is coming. I'm not sure if you're aware of that or not... I don't hate Houston - but man do I despise Dusty Baker. The Astros gacking this thing would be on par with the Tigers losing to that 2006 Cardinals team. It would be completely inexcusable. They are better than Philly in every possible way.

Carlos Correa makes too much sense for this team it won't happen right?

I wonder of Ollie felt just a little threatened having Skip in the clubhouse. By all accounts I've heard the players really liked Skip and he was a good coach. I don't know why they'd let him walk otherwise.

Going after a catcher or Aaron Judge make much more sense to me from a Cardinals perspective, again assuming Winn is still involved in the team. |

He took a promotion to be a manager of an MLB team. I don't think there was anything they could do to stop him from walking short of firing Ollie & giving Skip his job. However from what I've heard Skip was telling media people he had no interest in even looking for a managers position with another club. So there may be something to why he took the interview in the first place.
