WAR Graph Wednesday: Carlos Baerga and Fernando Vina (and Kolten Wong?)

by Nick June 8, 2011

On Tuesday night, the Cardinals selected University of Hawaii second baseman Kolten Wong with their first round pick (22nd overall) in Major League Baseball’s First Year Player Draft. Immediately reactions went off across Cardinal Nation – “typical uninspired pick” versus “upside at a need position” rang throughout the Twitterverse. Future Redbirds obviously was all over […]

Pujols Never Left

by Dennis June 6, 2011

Based on everything I read on blogs and saw on television last night, I was starting to form the impression that Albert Pujols was missing in action until his recent home run spree.  I couldn’t disagree more.  The big fella has been there all along. At approximately the 1/3 mark of the season, Pujols was on track to […]

You Never Get a 2nd Chance

by Dennis June 3, 2011

It’s possible that you’ll read a lot about how Lance Lynn pitched a lot better than the box score indicates, and he deserved a better fate.  Indeed, he really did pitch better than the numbers show, but don’t think it’s all rainbows and fluffy bunnies, either.  Sure, he received no help from Ryan “Iron Skillet” […]

Oh, Bell No!

by Dennis June 2, 2011

Rumor has it that the Cardinals have inquired about the Padres’ all-world closer, Heath Bell.  Why not?  What team wouldn’t want a guy with a sub 2 ERA, a WHIP hovering around 1, and who strikes out more than 9 batters every 9 innings?  Add that to fact that he’s blown just 1 save all season, […]

WAR Graph Wednesday: The Center Fielders

by Nick June 1, 2011

Still reading?  Ok, then let’s continue… Today’s WAR Graphs compare the most recent Cardinal center fielders of significant tenure – Jim Edmonds, Ray Lankford, and Willie McGee – all three with over one-thousand games played in center for the Redbirds.

Chris Carpenter: Too few outs for too many pitches

by Nick June 1, 2011

Chris Carpenter once again pitched well enough to win, yet received a no-decision. See, it’s not that Carpenter hasn’t been pitching well – or well enough to be better than his 1-5 record shows, given his 3.57 FIP (including last night’s game) – it’s that he’s seemingly working harder than ever to be “successful”. Take […]

No Long Relief for the DL

by Dennis May 31, 2011

Hellooo, TLR!  Is this thing even on?  Has anybody besides me noticed that Matt Holliday hasn’t exactly been pounding the ball since going 3/5 on May 13th against the Reds?  Since that day, he’s gone 4/31 and dropped his batting average from .398 to .344.  A hitting slump alone isn’t cause for concern, especially when […]

Dropping the Deuce

by Dennis May 27, 2011

Number 2.  Numero dos.  Deux.  The 2 spot.  Second in command.  The backup to the lead man.  Best supporting actor.  That was what Chris Carpenter was supposed to be this season.  Instead, he’s been pushed to the forefront, and he’s suddenly perceived as being the “ace” once again to many fans.  There’s just one problem.  […]
