USA Today

quote:

"There's a whole lot of tradition here,'' (Jason) Heyward says. "They expect excellence. It's just a great mix of veteran guys and young and polished players. Everybody is hungry to win.''

The man is fitting right in.





I have a feeling Jason will become one of those legendary veteran Cardinals players who leads the organization to another championship. The Cardinals organization has a tradition of reviving star players who have plateaued at other organizations. Veterans come to St. Louis for one last chance to win a World Series...it's the place to go out with a bang.

I hope so, but I want to see him perform before I praise him as the next big thing. His defense has gotten much better, but his swing is still too long in my opinion. I hope we can help him shorten that a little bit.

Bob Nightengale better watch his back. With sunshine pumping like that, Heyward is obviously looking to replace BN.

good assessment. I think they'll immediately attempt to correct his swing.

Why are you talking like Jason Heyward is a 15 year vet? He is still a young cat. Lots of miles left on the tires for J Hey. I think a change will be good for him as well.

I'm sure Cards fans are going to enjoy watching him K on low-outside pitches in the dirt just as much as Braves fans.

Yeah. I'm still not 100% about the guy yet, but we'll see.

On one hand, I wish you guys could have your own Cardinals thread and fling yourselves against the padded walls all day. On the other, the MSB would just be a bunch of season long team threads.

Dude, that is about as cookie cutter response as you can get from an athlete.

You wonder why people hate you? Bc you start a thread over a quote like this.

Did you expect him to say "I was expecting it to be an uncomfortable atmosphere bc home boy just killed himself and his gf in a car crash but boy was I wrong!!!!" wtf man quit posting

Well, to be fair, no player would ever say that about the Cardinals because they all want to play for the Cardinals.

I can handle it.

Most of the MSB can dish it out but they certainly can't receive. Classic.

shite GrandDad. Season hasn't even started and you've already abandoned the Astros ship. You didn't even come into the Astros thread and bitch this time.

This is a pretty nice troll, especially for you.
