It's Mike Matheny.ย He's hard headed.ย ย
Youโre too kind, Mathenius is an idiot when it comes to his handling of the Cardinals pitching staff.
You are being too kind as well, but I guess we need to keep it civil! 🤣ย
For a catcher he seems to uniquely inept in that area. He's not going to change and is unapologetic for his style.
So does Matheny get the credit for the moves he made in this game like bunting Pham over ? Nahhhhhhh. The Cardinals are 5-6 ย A 1/2 game behind the Brewers and the Cubs same record as the Yankees ย It is April relax people damn
They are a .500 team. Strikeout at an alarming rate. Carpenter got lucky. He whiffed on two bunt attempts, then the pitcher grooved one.ย I'm surprised he don't watch it go by as his strike zone is approximayely a 2 mm radius .ย
I will give Matheny credit for the bunt, but the mildonkey pitcher gave the run away with wild pitching.
Early games matter . The Cardinals do not have a team that can string 6 or 7 wins together in a row.

It may surprise people to find out but games in April in fact count just as much as games in September do in the standings. ย Now obviously it's early so no reason to panic but the games do count so no reason to not be concerned that the team once again looks frustratingly mediocre
Every team weโve played is a playoff contender. So they are competing which is good.
But you canโt lose series at home. ย Thatโs concerning to me.ย
The offense should heat up and that will help but when you miss the playoffs two years in a row by a handful of games itโs tough to not be concerned by early losses.ย
What concerns me is the flaws we are seeing are the same flaws we've seen in the past. ย Questionable bullpen quality and use, unreliable starting pitching, and flaccid offense. ย None of this is new and we've seen how this story ends. ย
ย
Now i don't think this team is a sub .500 team, but I also don't think this is a 90 win team. ย They'll eek out 80 something wins and compete for that joke second wild card spot
They were a top 10 offense last year without Pham for a full year and no Ozuna. Iโm not worried about that.ย
The bullpen is my main concern. It cost them a lot of games last year. And has already a few this year as well.ย
Carpenter guesses right .166 percent of the time . Another blown opportunity with bases loaded and less than two outs.ย Garbage team.ย
No the Reds are a garbage team. They are really really bad
ย
up 7 runs still bitching grumpy old fart 😬
I know he wasn't the highlight tonight or anything but this second wind power surge yadi is having in his late career is just stunning
OMG the cubs need to fire Madden and Theo. They are behind the Cardinals in the standings. Their season is a failure.ย

Where the hell is Kramerย
Im enjoying the power surge
