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 […]

To put it mildly, nothing about this past week has gone as planned. The Winter Meetings turned red hot in a hurry and left every St. Louis fan with a No. 5-sized hole. Now the challenge of moving on without an icon is real, and the only positive comes in watching a new league trying […]
