And this Cards team, even if it has all pistons firing and maximizes its talent, is still beneath numerous NL teams, notably the Dodgers and Braves. A lot could happen, especially if Walker emerges. Overall for the Cardinals, there are still 100 games to be played. As for some other players, Helsley has been too inconsistent and delicate Steven Matz was a massive disappointment Adam Wainwright has pitched six innings only once in his past 11 starts, dating back to last year Tyler O’Neill seems like a lost cause - his poor play and back injury makes him seem like the odd man out. His OPS is in the “7s.” He needs to be part of the solution. His strikeout rate has never been higher. Take out the pandemic season, and that is the lowest of his career. 211 batting average and the lowest OPS for any stat-qualifying catcher in baseball. Well, after those two days off, he went 1-for-12. ![]() The talk with Willson Contreras was that he just needed those couple days off to refresh.

Those often come down to managerial decisions, be it with Ryan Helsley usage or, in the infamous loss at Los Angeles, not pinch-hitting Nolan Gorman in the ninth. But this year, the Cards entered Tuesday with a 6-14 record in one-run games. And he sure won a bunch of ball games last year. And to his credit, he blends and balances analytics with the human element in his managing. Some people blame him for seemingly everything, but he is such a sharp thinker. Look, manager Oliver Marmol has a beautiful baseball mind. ![]() The Cards have two generational talents, yet they might never even crack the National League Division Series while on the Cardinals together. But when I think about these years with Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado, it reminds me of the Angels, who can’t seem to build a winner around Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout (so, they’re basically wasting Ohtani and Trout). What I’m about to say isn’t apples-to-apples. The Cardinals did neither (except for signing a catcher because they needed a catcher). Louis entered 2023 with five clear-cut guys to start). Some said the Cards should bolster the rotation (even though St. As for additions, some people said the Cards should bolster the offense (even if it meant moving proven players to other positions). ![]() Privacy Policyįrom starting pitchers to sluggers, there have been so many free agents available in the past two offseasons.
