His handling of pitching for sure. He's awful. I'm still pissed he pulled the Professor in the World Series game 7. Looks like Counsel read his book, he's worn his bullpen ragged the last 2 years.

So it’s another wasted year for Reyes. Who will probably be shut down again. He’s looking like the next top prospect bust.

What I don't understand is that they've known for at least a few weeks that he's pretty much done for the year, but they haven't put him on the 60 Day DL.

You know how stupid they are with injuries, lying about injuries(claiming not as bad), and just screwing the pooch when handling this stuff.

It's amazing how badly they handle this, every season.

Carlson mashed another last night. He has a 1.546 OPS at Triple A while batting a cool .520.

Needs 2 more HR's and 2 more SB's for a 25/20 season.

Personally, he's ahead of Gorman for me.

Enjoy your last 2 months as a Bird Ozuna.

Teams keep players on the 15 day DL as opposed to the 60 day for various reasons. Mainly is that they either have room on their 40 man or they don't want to add anyone to it and start their options.

Cardinals do stupid stuff with the DL.

They under diagnose guys, claim a guy is fine, maybe 3-5 days tops, and then they announce 4 hours later he's done for the season. Horrible management of injuries and diagnoses.

So Waino HAS to be done after this year, right?

Unless he flops horribly to end the season(5+ runs per game), Mo'ron will resign him. I have no doubts about it.

I would think so. Statistically he's been fine but I worry here down the stretch as the innings mount.

Might go down as the best mid-season pickup since Lofton and Ramirez

You can add four more hits with another dinger for tonight. Legged out an infield hit like a champ.

but that's not all folks

No way the bullpen doesn't blow this game. Zero chance

Crowd was juiced. Great game. I mean, pitching down the stretch was vomit inducing, but a big win.
