They aren’t good! Any team with Lynn and Mikolas in the rotation isn’t to be taken seriously. Their absolute upside is getting smoked in the wild card round. I’m not okay with the carousel of mediocrity. Sell the team, goblin bill!
hmmmm
@@CharlieMarlowSTL that’s my take. They aren’t good. Either way, they aren’t going to do anything of substance to augment it. Mozeliak already telling Ken Rosenthal that they don’t need to add a starter because of Graceffo and McGreevy. It’s the same as it ever was.
Good show, guys. Many interesting topics.
thx Kevin!
If they continue their hot streak they’ve been on since Mother’s Day they’re on pace to finish the year around 46-26…that gives them a 94-win season. If they add a starter and get Edman back and he is typically Tommy Edman and nothing else currently happening changes whatsoever you have to feel pretty good about finishing pretty close to the run they’re on
I’d push back on what Brenden says around the 48 minute mark. I agree if you have ambitions there’s no reason to push for that next peak. That said, does Mo care about making an NLCS? I think it’s hard because the fan ambitions are above just making an NLCS. I think his goals should be above that, and they likely are. We made the NLCS in 2019, but we don’t laud that much. He hasn’t popped the ws champagne in 13 years, I’d bet he wants to again
Love the show, missed it, you guys are great together! Don't let it be too long before the next one!!
thx Brian!
Great show guys!
thx Austin!
I love pallante but could and would you consider using him as a piece for a high end younger guy like crochet?
yes!
You are dreaming if you think DeWitt gives a shit and would allow Mo to make trades to better this team!
Charlie, the Scherzer boat has sailed.
never!
Scherzer is not going to a “wildcard” he’s going to a serious division winning contender, (Yankees/Dodgers/ Phillies) and he will do the same thing next year at the deadline, barring injury.
I think the afternoon heat might have had an effect on Lynn. Not the most physically fit.
I might be crazy, but I kinda think this team has a better chance than they have had in the last few years.
Drew P!
Baseball is pretty just garbage this year. I've never been so bored by it.
They're more lucky than good. Always getting bailed out by rain and the schedule. Their run differential is horrible. Let's see what happens after the break. It's like Mizzou's cupcake schedule
I’d honestly like to know what the realistic expectations are for trade targets. Gray, Gibson, Lynn, Mikolas and as of right now, Pallante make 5 in the rotation. Who in that group is a likely trade piece? Unless Pallante moves out, there’s no room for a guy unless he’s part of a trade package or someone gets hurt between now and the deadline Lineup seems pretty locked down with Goldschmidt, Arenado, Contreras, Gorman, Winn, Nootbaar, Donovan, Burleson and Siani…Trade Carlson? Edman? A guy like Scott or Walker for an arm? Feels like the likely move where there is reasonable room to fill is the bullpen. Between Gallegos and Middleton….it seems like the move is there
Glad to see you back Charlie & Brenden!
thx Goose!
sorry , you guys are wrong . mamuo ,I call him, is the worst. every time a pitcher gets blasted ,he leaves them on until we are done and the game is lost.
If I was Mo I'd bring in another lefty to help because JoJo has been hit and miss lately, what about picking up Clevinger from the Rays?
Just looking at comment we have some fake fans, once they are reminded of past comments well, thats when deletions and name changes happen, ill say it once again i think Oli is a horrible manager and needs to go back to school, but ill never root against my hometown team regardless of who the manager is i just hope the players ww have are prideful enough to understand you have to win in spite of the him
Great job, gentlemen, and welcome back. Let's go
thx ACE!
Hell No if Lance comes back next year put him in the Bullpen no way can he be in the rotation again
A starter that gives you hella innings and 5-8 wins at 10 mil is a steal though
I’m still not convinced with Marmol. I think he has help from veterans. Watching the game yesterday, Brandon Crawford was next him throughout the telecast….i think Carp and Crawford have contributed to this club more then people know. Crawford already looks like skipper material on the top stop of the dugout talking strategy. Oli was put in this position before he was ready. I think he is being helped more this season. Let’s face it….his first season Yadi and Albert were the co managers of this club. Last year was result of Oli and staff being in charge. This season is a hybrid of Marmol and his staff having help but not yet being the guys. I think that’s why the contract extension was given because MO still believes in the long term Oli can manage given the proper seasoning.
You forget Maddux and Schumaker were big time contributors
@@boschlosser10 you correct 👍
Exactly Mo gave it his best to everyone in the Cards org top to bottom even with the fans… plus Kirby Yates… no one will complain it will bring a new fire to this club house 1000%
PLEASE TRADE GOLDSCHMIDT!!! HE'S A RALLY KILLER!!! Goldschmidt will get us a high end reliever!!! And Burly will play just as good at 1st and he's clearly a better hitter than Goldschmidt. Goldschmidt is VASTLY over-rated and at the tail end of his career. Get rid of him while he's still worth a bag of used balls!!!
NO rather have him bat 6-8… his glove is way better than BurlyBomber… and he has to have at bats at DH… stick Goldie down the bottom in between Nado and Gorman… Winn BurlyBomber Willie C Donnie or Noot Nado Donnie or Noot Goldie Gorman Siani…. That to me is a legit playoff line up with superior defense.. Edman is in witness protection so I don’t see him playing or having the timing ability to track balls down or throw well from CF to give siani or Gorman spot up
hmmm, what do you get for him?
Only the Yankees could and would be able to take him and they are hurting big time in their pen and rotation they don’t give much.. and they wouldn’t eat all the money why would they…
doesn't he have a no trade clause? i doubt he will be going anywhere
It’s easy to say we need a #1 or #2 starter. Who are we giving up to get that? Walker+?? Hence++ Noot+??
The rangers didn’t give that up to get Monty and Stratton… we didn’t get Evan Carter or Wyatt Langford or their top 100 pitching prospect… so why would we give those guys up… they gave up Roby.. give him back Kiz is their back up catcher.. Herrera is way better with ton of control and then another 13-30 prospect they also gave us John King so throw in Gio if necessary
@@boschlosser10I assumed they were shooting higher than a Monty. He’s more of a number 3/4 to me. Maybe I’m wrong. When I think #1 or 2 I think of Luis Castillo trade a few years ago
They are discussing this on the pod rn
Monty was the main reason next to evoldi that they made it to and won the series so Monty was a legit #2 easily.. rangers didn’t have a 1 they had to top tier #2’s and Scherzer was hurt so had poor outings.. Monty also was on a 1 year 10 mil deal… Scherzer is on a 1 year and about 9 million left or so on his deal… it’s the same trade if they include a high leverage arm as we did last year… we got Roby and Saggase plus John King neither were top 100 guys and king was having a bad year… Roby is currently a top 5 guy in our system but hurt again.. Herrera or Carlson or both with Gio imo is about around the same trade… and Scherzer becomes a #2 for us like Monty did and their reliever helps us down the stretch…
@@boschlosser10 being “our” #2 is an easy bar to hurdle. I guess I was hoping for something better than what Max is now. I think our difference comes in the level of pitcher we want. Appreciate the discourse tho!
Man if Scherzer brings his best for playing for his hometown team.. a dealing Scherzer puts immense fear into lineups.. he could come out strike out 7-9 pitch 6-7 potential shut out innings vs a Atlanta Padres Brewers… then come out and do it again against a Phillies or Dodgers giving you a huge chance to win against those clubs… for Mo this can’t be any more simple starring you in the face!
I admit I watch and root for the team, but I'm also realistic in my expectations. They are good enough to take one of the final two playoff spots in a watered down National League. But they are going to get waxed by any of the top teams without meaningful additions. That means bringing in a one or two to pair with Gray and if they could add one more bullpen piece to supplement our three back-end arms, that could be crucial. I still say if you can get an outfielder or first baseman that can rake, go for it. Does anyone think Mo is capable of these moves?
Unfortunately you can’t add those guys it will take away at bats from the BurlyBomber
Roby#5 Herrera Carlson Gio… any pitcher 13-30 on the prospect list!
We must keep Siana we do need to trade some of the other outfielders we have way too many
Come on Mo give us that Rangers trade we all want.. no more bargain bin trash.. show us you want to make the legit run this team has a perfect mix of vets and young rising stars.. with Scherzer and Gray in a Wild Card series and Gibson if necessary.. and maybe just maybe we luck out and get the dodgers in the divisional… pressure breaks pipes and we could get that 2022 rematch with the Phillies but this time in the NLCS… RedBirds Alive in 2024!
Stop. I don't want 40 year old 9era pitchers.
Scherzer and Kirby Yates to this rotation and pen would be huge.. Sonny Gray is the ultimate team mate and combo with Scherzer… and he’s from Mizzou… it’s almost to perfect.. you’d get all he has to perform top tier for his hometown team..
so what do the both of you think is really going to happen at the trade deadline? really i see moe looking in the bargin basement bins because goldy has to be signed? (according to moe). they need a bat -33 in run dif. this team is not scary with the offence, and a starting pitcher.
I think Mo might try to go all in with Scherzer remember he has no trade clause and has to approve the trade
I used to work for St. Louis lawn care when I was 16. I’m 20 now. Had a ton of fun workin with my buddies there. Tough work. Raking and shoveling out in the heat. But I always had a blast
awesome Cash!
Yates and one of Scherzer or Eovaldi would be perfect
100% more Scherzer he’s cheaper and hometown kid he would love to pitch with Sonny and lead the cardinals deep into October
Took my brother to Cards game on the 28th for his birthday. Was such a good game!! Had a blast for our first time at Busch stadium.
awesome Tom!
Perfect trade opportunity! Paul Goldschmidt for Dylan Floro (mid tier reliever)
haha
Won’t happen
Its time to bring luken baker up and give him DH ABs or trade him. I think a lot of the cards answers are in the minors. I know the fanbase isnt patient but dewitt signaled this is a transition year with 1 yr deals of gibson and lynn. They are playing with house money, nobody expected them to do this well at this point. Winning in the postseason will depend on the. bats and this current squad will get shutdown. I want to see our prospects get their shots.
NO Burly is the DH unless someone has off day so big NO
Gorman is batting almost .500 this month with only 3k's and leading the club in HR's and RBI's overall and people still are not happy with him all while playing a great 2nd. He just turned 24 to boot. If he is traded, he will hit 40+ HR's anywhere else and be a Cardinal killer. I swear Cardinals fans are falling off for real.
I think Gorman just hates pride month lol. Hopefully this can last
@@jaxonbaker2512 haha that comment made me spit my drink out. I knew i liked this kid!
Trade Matz at the deadline? If not I guess he goes to the bullpen until his time with the Cardinals is up.
Question; do we have elite arms I.e. Matthews, Robberse, Hence, Hjerpe, that we can count on as the season gets into the dog days?
No maybe Mathews but still had much to prove once called to Memphis
I love this collab. Please do this more. Please do this more.
So glad the fruit is back!
haha, yes!
I’m still not sure I trust them.
George!
Nope.....Beating last place teams by one run isn't very assuring?
You made a comment months ago saying they had to be 3 games over to get you to believe, so what happened ? I said they would not get my money until they win, they are winning my grandbabies got there city jerseys its enjoyable going to the game so what's the problem ?
@@robertcrist5747I don't know 33-18 is pretty damn good regardless of who they play
Happy to have you back guys! Let's get Greinke 😂 He will fit in the age profile at least. Btw I'm not sure if he's even playing still? Is he on the Royals roster or retired?
haha, Gei!
Damn Charlie! I thought you cash in your 401K and retired? 🤣👍🇺🇸
haha, nope!
If Mo get Scherzer and Kirby Yates from the Rangers then I’m bout back in 100000%
Happy with the vibe of the team. Looking like a deep line-up which can have guys picking others up on a daily basis. Happy the switch clicked on again for Gorman. Hoping he continues to grow as a complete MLB hitter. So pleased with the bullpen. Feeling good about guys like Roycroft, King extending possibilities. Who knows? Perhaps some kids will be able to help the rotation as the season continues. More positive on this team now than at any time this season. Thinking Siani/Pages need to be big pieces going forward. We have plenty of pieces to use on trades if decided to go that direction. Imagining of Walker could unlock what we hope is inside. Go Cardinals!! Imagine if Goldy/Arenado can have strong second halves. I think this team is strong. Burly/Donnie/Noot/Masyn staying on the field is key. Thinking we are seeing the beginning of a far superior team than we’ve been seeing the past few years.
Jordon Walkers numbers at Memphis don't justify a call up. .244avg .304 obp .382 slg .686 ops
agreed
I think Walker should finish the season in Memphis unless some miraculous performance over a stretch of 30 games or so. I would like a RH bat that hits for average and power. JD Martinez perhaps?
That takes away from BurlyBomber at bats so no
@@boschlosser10burleson is the bat we needed. Crazy thing is that he is a superstar right now, but no one is acting like he is for whatever reason.
Nobody's saying they're gonna win the world series? Why not?
Bc we don't have any pitching depth
@garyrobinson5655 if they add a starter and a BP piece I think we have a shot for sure. Having pitching depth pre All-Star doesn't really mean anything
If they get Scherzer and Kirby Yates then I’ll say yes
Good job boys!!!!
thx Mark!
Trevor Bauer, he has served his suspension. Apparently, MLB unofficially banned him for life.
I 10000% agree
We are back. I know they missed us. Well, maybe not. We'll see!🤣
haha
You are definitely missed when not here. Also wishing you could get Bernie etc. in the mix. All the best.
I know I sure did, we gotta start holding Charlie to the weekly pods, The cards are heating up
YESSS WE MISSED YOU TWO!
2 Awesome Dudes
