Shane Bieber was the 8th best pitcher in baseball last year and came 7th in CY voting. His CY came in the shortened 2020 season. His numbers last year meet or exceed his numbers in other full seasons where he carried his higher velocity. Last edited by jd1020; 01-07-2023 at 11:21 AM.. |

Yeah, Biebs is ****in good. That said, if anything does happen, Mo will give up way too much, sign him to a guaranteed contract for way too much money, and Bieber will then proceed to cut his arm off in a freak chainsaw accident.

And 'nowhere near' is strong. He had a sub 3 ERA and got CY votes last year. But there's risk there. I don't know what to think about that shoulder. The velocity was down but he threw 200 innings and wasn't losing stuff late in games. He thought it was mechanics but I'm not so sure. But he still has one of the best breaking balls in the game and was pitching off it last year. If he gets that velo back up to 95ish, he can throw with anyone in the game. Will he? Hard to say, but if you're not gonna pay for established top of the rotation arms, these are the risks you have to take.

Unfortunately for us, this will be the way it plays out.

He'll sign Flaherty to a 5 year deal first and proceed to get 45 innings per season out of him.

Mo was on KMOX Sunday....he's not adding anything meaningful to the rotation- “And then you say, ‘Well, what are you trading for?’ Right now, the bet we are making is on Waino, Mikolas, Flaherty, Montgomery and Matz. And you’ve got Dakota in the wings…” |

Mozeliak is half-assing the job? That never happens! Remember when they were gonna raise payroll? Well, Waino got his raise and then we engaged in some creative accounting. What more do you want?!?!

I know, as the BFIB we should just eat it and shut the **** up. They signed Wilson Contreras man!! We don't need a left handed bat or a starter. What was I thinking?

Y'know what Willson Contreras is gonna make in 2023? Oh I'll bet you can get it. Probably won't even take you two cracks at it. Their 'big signing' in a season they promised an expanded payroll added precisely ZERO to the 2022 salary structure. At present the 26 man roster projects to a payroll nut of less than $155 million. Just like last season. This team truly thinks its fans are stupid. Sadly, many of them are. The Cardinals don't deserve their fans. It's a pathetic, cheap, lazy, arrogant and entitled organization.

Just like in his playing days, Matt Holliday quits on the team. Super Joe takes his place.

So that's the pitching coach, hitting coach and bench coach who have all elected to simply walk away from jobs in St. Louis over the last 6 months.
Just a hell of an organization you've got here, Moe... ****ing clown.

The bench coach didn't even wait around for a part of the season. Something really ****ed up is happening in that clubhouse.
