Jaime Garcia
With Tuesday night’s impressive performance – again – Tyler Lyons (who is this guy, really?) has continued the success of Cardinal rookie starting pitchers in 2013. Leading all of baseball in 2013 with nine wins from rookie starting pitchers, the Cardinals have relied on one pitcher they hoped would have this success, Shelby Miller, and […]

The Cardinals’ starting pitching rotation is on this week’s cover of Sports Illustrated. Well, what WAS the Cardinals’ starting pitching rotation. Two-fifths of that photo are now on the disabled list. One for the season (Jaime Garcia) and one indefinitely or until the medical staff runs out of elbow injections (Jake Westbrook). Damn you Sports […]
Sometime in mid-August (ok, August 12 to be exact – it’s right there on the Tweeter box) Cardinal fan Will Leitch began a dialogue “with” the Cardinals. Er, maybe AT the Cardinals is more appropriate. The first installment was posted Wednesday and the completion of the regular season was posted yesterday. With Will’s permission, and […]

The 2012 season for the St. Louis Cardinals came to a rather abrupt, sobering halt tonight. Taking time to reflect and collect one’s thoughts before writing a post-mortem might be a savvy move. I am not that man. So, please go elsewhere for brevity, hat tipping, and the usual exchange of pleasantries that often follows […]

Just like that, less than 48 hours removed from another thrilling do-or-die postseason victory, the Cardinals have negated the San Francisco Giants’ home-field advantage by winning Game One of the NLCS. The win wasn’t without its own fair share of heartburn, though, as the hometown Giants tried their best to replicate the Cards’ miracle comeback […]
During the recent UCB Weekend in St. Louis, several of us in attendance had an opportunity to sit through a rather well-honed elevator pitch from the folks at Burton History Trees. I usually don’t listen to a lot of details about business plans, business models, and product design, because my actual job involves far too […]

Jaime Garcia departed yesterday’s NLDS game after just 2 innings and 51 pitches. Though he appeared to labor through those 2 innings, his command and control didn’t appear all that bad, and his velocity seemed normal. He just seemed ineffective in giving up an earned run, 2 hits, and 3 walks. It was not until […]

Set aside all concerns about the relative importance of FIP, xFIP, and quality starts. Free your mind of the shackles that ERA and ERA+ seek to limit your perspective by using. Understand that wherever you go, there you are. Once you have done all that, only then can you see the truth that has been […]
Be realistic, and please admit that you have certain players you do not wish to see leave the Cardinals or the farm system. For whatever your reasons, you have grown emotionally attached to 1 or more, and the thought of them in another team’s uniform amounts to baseball sacrilege. Well, try setting aside those thoughts […]

In the “Breaking Bad” series, I attempt to break down raw data about a specific player to try and understand or maybe explain their relative level of success. Since Joe Kelly has 6 starts at the Major League level under his belt, now seems like a great time to analyze Joe’s body of work for […]
