Rooney constantly complaining about the strike zone, especially with 3 continuous walks.
Couple of moves today by the Cardinals:
-Trade for Zac Rosscup from the Dodgers for cash and send him to Memphis. Cardinals are the 4th team he will have played on this season alone.
-Send Bader down to Memphis. They did recall Lane Thomas but he'll likely be just a stopgap until Ozuna returns.
Nice to see Martinez come in and shut it down without any scary moments!
It is interesting that the home team has won all 10 games.
Total lack of landing any players who will make a difference in this year's pennant race and we are told by the front office that "they are all in" this year."
Yep. Disppointing. Not surprising, but disappointing nevertheless.
Mo trims payroll and watches the Cubs grab the best bat on the market at the deadline. I guess there’s no real pressure to improve when you’re top 5 in attendance and making money regardless of the product you put on the field. This has to seal his fate if this team doesn’t make the postseason....right?
Best bat on the market... Nick Castellanos... does not compute.
Dude has a 106 wRC+ this year, and that's with a .332 BABIP. Plus, he gives any offensive value back on defense. If they're planning on rolling with a Schwarber - Heyward - Castellanos OF, they might have made their team worse overall.
The Cardinals needed a starting pitcher, but weren't willing to give up Gorman/ Carlson/ or Knizner (rightly so). The top tier guys (stroman, Greinke, Syndergaard, etc.) would have required 1 or 2 of those guys. Not many 2nd tier guys even got traded (Robbie Ray, Wheeler, Bumgarner), so everyone thought the asks were unreasonable. The only starters trading hands were ones that would not have made the Cardinals any better.
Just shrug your shoulders and take comfort in the fact that the Brewers or Cubs didn't really get any better at the deadline either, and the Cardinals are still playing pretty good ball lately.
I don't like going there. No idea if there was a reasonable deal out there for a late inning LRP or #3 starter, my guess is everyone wanted too much. I do sometimes believe every GM overvalues their prospects.You could say their deadline pickups were Ozuna and Yadi.

It’s such a shame. It was pretty obvious he was struggling. But the pen struggled after him, so maybe it wouldn’t have made a difference.Waino struggles in 4&5 but Shildt sticks him back out there in 6.
