Reading a couple of posts over at STLCardinalBaseball this weekend led me into a bit of a debate with Ray over whether the Cardinals routinely pay market value for their players or not. Spurred on by the ongoing discussions about what market value may look like for one Yadier Molina, Ray took a look at […]

In baseball, walks are far more frustrating than hits. In walking a batter, the pitcher removes all possibility for the defense to play a role in potentially preventing the hitter from reaching base safely. The walk creates an additional burden for the defense, and the person responsible for the walk might not even stick around […]

After intense negotiations, Justin from the That Ball’s Outta Here blog were able to come to an agreement to trade quick-fire questions about each other’s favorite ballclubs. There were players to be named later and undisclosed sums of cash involved. Don’t worry about that, just prepare to read about the Phillies… PH8: The Phillies have […]

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 […]

Yep, my soapbox is bigger than yours is, because it has to be sturdy. I like to eat 8 lb burritos with a spork while I’m standing on my soapbox, so prepare yourselves. It’s about to get ugly up in here. WARNING: A rant is about to take place. I’m sick and tired of people […]

It’s one thing to look at the 2011 Cardinals and think about tweaking one thing here or making an adjustment there. Rebuilding is an altogether different approach, but few people really want to think about the “R” word right now. What about looking at the team by deconstructing it first? It’s like taking apart your […]

Yes, I’m pretty sure the Cardinals have gone to plaid, but I’ll explain that later. Focus on poker first, because I have a serious poker/baseball question to ask. Are the Cardinals going “all in” for 2011? For those of you who aren’t familiar with the phrase “all in”, it’s a poker term that refers to a […]

Two stats are the centerpiece for today’s story, but I’m not quite there yet. After the emotional weekend that was, I fully expected a let down for this series. Arizona didn’t exactly have a lot going for them and being swept in San Diego never helps leading into a home stand. To make matters worse […]

While not something I originally planned on including today, it is important for all of us here at PH8 to express our condolences to the Walters family. We were fortunate to get to know P.J. while interviewing him on UCB Radio, and I look forward to watching him overcome this tragedy and again honor his […]

1. Cardinal Player of the Year Matt Holliday Albert Pujols Brendan Ryan Write-in: __________ Is it really necessary for me to write this one up? Mang raked again this season, carried the team through the first half. Will he seek the dollars or the championships in seasons beyond 2011? Or both? 2. Cardinal Pitcher of […]
