Marmol doesn't seem the type to engage in that sort of stuff.
Agree. However, your catcher got buzzed high and tight. It was a purpose pitch. Future hall of fame manager, Bruce Boccy, was sending a message by knocking down your catcher. My view is the Cardinal manager needs to stand up for his players. Poor optics in my opinion. Maybe business will be taken care of today.

This isn't the Whiteyball (or even TLR) era. Can't be the arbiters of the "right way" to do things in the game. And I highly doubt that a long-tenured manager like Bochy would have called for a pitch like that inside on Contreras.

was at the game Wednesday evening. Until Burleson HR, Gray had faced the minimum with runners thrown out on the bases. In general why do Cardinal hitters swing and miss alot and Cardinal pitchers don't get nearly as many swing and misses....

I do not have an answer for the swing and misses. However, the starting pitchers generally speaking are pitch to contact pitchers.

The article on starting pitching narrative is a very good analysis of what is wrong with the pitching personnel in general....

i was impressed with Gray (or unimpressed with Cardinal hitters) as he had made 60 pitches and 50 strikes and 10 balls in the 6th inning. He finished with 76 strikes and 24 ball in 8 IP CG.

Even our Bullpen doesn't have much swing and miss stuff - despite some having electric stuff.

Gray was more than impressive ..........he was ELITE...................................Wonder why the Cardinals FO didn't go after him as he signed for a very affordable price with the Rangers........................................????????

Same narrative we have had for years. This year the cracks are showing.....


No power pitchers. Team was built around pitchers where the D is relied upon more than Ks.

Goldy/Arenado relied upon heavily. Cardinals have always been looking for multiple guys to get hot around them. TON hot one year, Pujols pleasant surprise last season, Edman at times, Gorman this season, etc. Problem is we do have a lot of swing and miss guys and ton of average starters/good utility players that aren't consistent.


Gorman has staying power. We have to hope Walker can get his growing pains out this season and expect that Gorman productivity next season. Unless we make a drastic run before the trade deadline I wouldn't mind seeing a few guys moved.

@pruman91 that looked some intent there. I prefer to let play to do the talking, but I wouldn't mind a little message from us being sent
