Matsumoto getting his glove checked for sticky stuff after giving up 6 runs is hilarious

Woulda been really funny if he had been caught using sticky stuff

Padilla having that big of a beard at 18 is insane. Man was born with stubble

Can’t believe it’s the 3rd draft. This series has flown by. Keep them coming lol

I understand wanting to stick with prospects within the org to fix things but I think you need to acquire a high quality closer. You have plenty of pitching prospects, they aren't all gonna be able to make the mob rotation anyway. Having a lock down closer is more important than you'd think

married to the prospects isnt the way to go when the team is competing. package edman and prospects for a superstar and bullpen help

Edman should probably go. He is not hitting well, so Winn is a better option, and you could get a decent return in a trade. Bullpen help or prospects, whatever you can drum up. The bullpen is a disaster area this year, so some help is really needed. Also, a SP prospect for a fielding prospect would note be out of line. You are a little bit short at 2B,,SS and 3B organizationally.

I just dont think they are ready yet myself. Some pen upgrades is a way to go but I don't think they are ready to sell the farm just yet.

Edman is a GG 10 hr 20 sb guy rn lol

Sometimes you've gotta call a spade a spade, Helsley is cooked and you should look to trade him ASAP. Maybe workshop something with the Marlins since they wanted him

I'd consider switching Bender into MR1/2 from LR2 to get him some more regular and relevant innings. If there's a trade for another pen arm I see Edman being the one to offer, with Loperfido coming back since it seems his AAA sojourn will be short anyway. Poor Josh Baez has played his heart out all series and keeps getting passed over. He's north of .300 again! Loving the series as always Cane!

Really excited to see the ratings for the draft, but also see some of the players that we missed out on. Fisher looks like a stud so I'm gutted he didn't fall

I think you should try to get a trade for Helsley he is regressing and honestly I'm a little worried about his pitching run especially if it comes down to post season play and you have close games

Agreed. In my last franchise I signed Josh Hader and I unloaded him in year 2 he stunk.

You said the bullpen wasn't performing well, why wouldn't you make a trade for a better arm then?

I'd like to hope they can just naturally play better, but that doesn't mean they magically will.

Ryan helsley will have value to another team much more than he will to this one, he is an older reliever who has high potential a high overall but is having a bad season. There's a team out there that will bet on his future, hoping that he isn't truly regressing and be willing to pay him, this is not that team. I know you love the prospects, but you have to get at least a closer if not two more relievers. Using your Elite starting pitcher prospects as Bullpen Band-Aids is not the way to go.

Jordan Walker 77 speed 99 arm… sounds like a right fielder to me especially with Moreno slowly coming up the ranks to add a little more pop to the big league roster

Kloffenstein is already 25 and only a 60 I wouldn't put a lot of future faith in him, I'd honestly look to move Edman for a new closer (might browse for some 26-32 year old setup guys who have good clutch) and then flip Helsley for a prospect or two.

Perfect pacing for a draft episode, imo. Especially in a draft episode, I think it makes sense to showcase our prospects in order to gauge where we are as an organization.

Absolutely BRUTAL glove check after getting shelled for 6. Just insult to injury LMAO

when you do player lock with position players, i think it’d be fun to do a 3 game series with them. gives us a nice look at their abilities, and takes around the same amount of time as a player lock for a pitcher

Closing games has become Hel(sley) for the Cardinals. Definitely see if you can find a replacement for him sooner than later.

I love the episodes that focus on org stuff, rather than games. Might be an unpopular opinion, but seeing you develop the squad, make trades n stuff, is what i look forward to personally. P.S please trade Helsley in a package for prime age talent

95 efficiency scouts will provide 50% scouting per week for High School prospects. 90-94 efficiency gives 45%. There’s no way to scout high school prospects in less than 2 weeks. The absolute most you could get is 80% by setting 2 scouts to that position in that region and the last scout specifically on that player. That would still only get the player to 85% in one week.

If walkers defense keeps getting better he might have to move back to 3rd when Nolan leaves and let Marino play first

I liked this format a lot. Fast-paced, and you got to give appropriate time to talk about your players and team-building philosophy.

43:32 I'm so worried to see cain pitching with Matsumoto right now lol

Will Mays, the outfielder, getting drafted to the Giants is absolute gold. Gotta love the show

I’m finally caught up! What a freaking game last episode!

With those glasses, Matsumoto looks like that guy that has popped up on my IG reels who hits the bombs. Eric Sim I think is his name?

Looked like an amazing draft can’t wait to see those prospects next episode

Jordan walker has such a strong arm to waste at first base

I’ve noticed when quick siming a game your pitcher will get rocked for about five runs with two outs in the inning

I guess the question with Helsley is do we believe there could be some regression to the mean wrt his HR/9 numbers? I feel like we’re watching the other end of the extreme here. Less than 1 HR/9 doesn’t look to have been sustainable, but that also makes me skeptical that he sustains this 1.48 pace as well.

Loving this series been waiting for a cardinals or Saint Louis franchise in general

i would recommend using a week or two having all 3 of your scouts scout a region or two of relievers, especially if you just want 50% scouting on a lot of guys, youll end up with a handful of relievers to choose from in the later rounds

I personally would have kept rotondo on the MLB roster bc you saw he had a boost in overall just from being on the roster

This bullpen has been atrocious this year

I would give Jordan Walker a few games in the Outfield in the 2nd half. See if 1st base could open up a spot for a bat like Marino or Morse contributing at the majors.

You need to address closer and another bullpen arm.

Gorman tying Schwarber for the Homer lead doesnt matter. Kyle is AL. Gorman is NL. Its the top 4 in each league.

CLOSER SWAP just like the Brewers-Marlins did. Hensley gotta go!!!

We can say the Giants drafted Willy Mays great or great great grandson ala how the Dodgers drafted Mike Piazza for Tommy Lasorda.

Should’ve taken the number 1 closer at 21

Pace on this episode was great

I think with benny he should be a extreme groundball pitcher instead of a strikeout artist

Try trading Helsley because he's regressing... Also try to get bullpen help

How do you join the moments and then spectate? Do you just go into team select?

@@MrHurriicaneLP Thank you! Amazing series bro!

That 1st round pick doesn’t have a high ceiling. His potential is only 2 points higher than his overall.

🔥🔥

When pitching with Helsey you cant be nibbling like that. Hes a flame thrower throw it down the middle and he will hit the edges because he has worse control. Lol

Get another closer Helsey is nerve wrecking every time he is out there.

Padilla reminds me of miguel Cabrera

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Trade Helsley or edman for a closer or another arm maybe you can package it with a infield prospect that’s not to far away from the show

I would of taken that Chester and Sewald for Helsley trade

Not trying to be a negative nancy but this is what happens when you use your time discovering prospects when half the time you didn’t discover anyone you could have used those weeks to scout more players.

You could probably add some velo to Kopech‘s fastball…dude can hit triple-digits sometime

Helsey trade him You need all the help you can get prospect building is good but You need help now not 2 season's from now. I know you don't usually make a splash play but maybe think about it

Trade some prospects for vets!

Helsley gotta go. You simply cant trust him

Definitely think it’s time to move some prospects realistically. Gotta get some more MVP caliber bats in the lineup or it’s gunna just be treading water for the next few years.

Day 3 of asking Cane to wrap up the Rockies franchise. 🙏

Chama

Cards bullpen🫣🫣

Leave it to Cane to spend half the episode talking about how poorly Helsley has been pitching and then NOT trade him when given the opportunity.

Hensley isn't the closer anymore. You need to trade him.

If you're looking to move Wynn into the starting SS role I'd look at packing Edman with something Kopech and a mid tier prospect for a good reliver and utility player. Guardians might be a good match if they still have Arais and Karinchak. Figure Arais, if he has the position flex that he should of corner OF, 1B, 3B and SS, it would help mitigate any growing pains or failure with Wynn.

Nice to know im not the only one puzzled as to why he hasnt moved edman and some prospects for a decent Bullpen.. How many Blown saves do you need before you notice something ain't right
