Mitchell Boggs
[ED. note – I am not a pro-fesh-un-ul scout nor do I pretend to be one. I am far from qualified to be giving advice to big-league pitchers. That said, here are some things I would consider, were I in a position to communicate things to the staff in charge of said advice and/or improvement […]
Shelby Miller: 6.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 8 K Adam Wainwright: 8.1 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 9 K Three total innings of relief in two games. This is an opportunity for the much-maligned Cardinals bullpen and their manager to reboot. Reset expectations. Survive and advance […]

Anymore, various stories about the Cardinals and their players come across my inbox faster than I can react to them (for the most part) but I often feel many are worth sharing. I thought maybe a weekly (or as-dictated by worthy items to report) catch-all post would be the most efficient way to both communicate […]

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 yesterday. With Will’s permission, and maybe he’ll chime in with some of his own feedback […]

Joe Kelly and Trevor Rosenthal made their postseason debuts on Monday, each successfully preventing the Nationals from scoring a run in their respective innings pitched. With the addition of Kelly and Rosenthal to the roll, the Cardinals have employed sixteen rookie pitchers in the postseason since 2000. With one glaring exception (Mike Matthews in 2001), […]

It takes a lot for baseball fans in St. Louis to boo one of its own. Maybe the final straw came when Tyler Greene watched a ball go through his legs last night during the 6th inning. Maybe. The E4 allowed 2 runs to score, although the situation likely dictated that at least 1 would […]
The Cardinals just traded Zach Cox for Edward Mujica which naturally produced a “They did what to whom for how many cows?” response. Obviously, this was not the megadeal many in Cardinal Nation were looking for, but it certainly has potential to be significantly better than nothing. For the record, Cox was not exactly tearing […]
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 […]

UPDATED 07/17/2012: Many thanks to the folks from 101 ESPN The Fast Lane for giving us some linkage love today. To get the absolute latest information, click here. Several weeks ago I posted information about Skip Schumaker’s upcoming charity event to benefit Reesa Stutzman (original post here). Some relevant information has since become available, and […]
I knew I would see them, just as soon as A.J. Pierzynski deposited a baseball into the stands. They were coming, as sure as the Cardinals would lose the game, and I couldn’t help but search them out. It was time for the “Mitchell Boggs sucks” tweets. http://twitter.com/stlouis0/status/212733554914885632 This strikes me as odd, since Boggs’ […]
