Cardinals 2000 and 2010 Roster Mashup

by Nick January 18, 2010

With names from Cardinal teams past popping up everywhere – Mark McGwire is the team’s new hitting coach and possible pinch-hitter (depending on whether Tony would ever really push for such a thing), and now Jim Edmonds has “challenged” LaRussa to give him a roster spot (believe what you will there) – I thought it […]

Mark McGwire admits steroid use, cements place as steroid era scapegoat

by Nick January 15, 2010

Ed. note: This can be said of really any post here at Pitchers Hit Eighth, but I’d like to make explicitly clear for this one in particular that these are my opinions and mine only. Others may agree or disagree with me, but this is all coming from my brain, not anyone else who may […]

Keeping up the house

by Nick January 14, 2010

Not much to look at here, my apologies – but I wanted to bring up a few loose ends that had escaped my posting here recently… —– I did a Q&A with Simon on Sports in December called “Blogging the Off-season” where Simon asked several bloggers from all of the MLB teams some questions about […]

Mark McGwire to teach Three True Outcomes?

by Nick January 8, 2010

Before you all lambast me for running down the esteemed new hitting coach before he can work his magic with all of the Redbird hitters, please note that this post is intended mostly tongue-in-cheek, as I know Mark McGwire has had success working with the likes of Skip Schumaker, most certainly not a power hitter.

No-trade clause for Matt Holliday is no problem

by Nick January 7, 2010

I am firmly in the camp of saying no to no-trade clauses. I think they are never a smart idea for the team giving them (see: Lohse, Kyle) and generally are only a way for players to either a) be able to guarantee they can finish their career in one place (certainly understandable), b) add […]

Post Holliday Present? Matt Holliday signs with Cardinals.

by Josh January 5, 2010

Love it or hate it, the Cardinals have locked up their Pujols Protector. Matt Holliday announced on ESPN’s Doug Gottlieb show that he has agreed to return to St. Louis. Thoughts? Love to know the exact details, but a 7 year deal actually works for me. Derrick Goold has been all over the Hot Stove […]

BBA HoF Ballot Discussion: Edgar Martinez

by Nick December 31, 2009

Edgar Martinez Nick: As a National League honk – I’m inclined to just dismiss any player that was primarily a Designated Hitter out of hand. As a baseball fan, I know that I would be dismissed out of hand by fans of the American League. Just because I don’t like the Designated Hitter in baseball […]
