@bschaeffer12 @RedbirdFarmhand Pozo is the only guy who makes sense for that role. He hands out the homer chain, everyone seems to love him, and I think changing anything that’s not necessary is probably going to do more harm than good

Honest question -- why? The players that play are largely the players they want in there at the end of games. Having the third catcher as a break glass option provides cover and confidence for the way they want to be using the two catchers. They're winning a shit ton of games. Anyone else in that spot would simply be doing the same thing Pozo is doing (and Saggese, etc.) without the added bonus of having cover at catcher if the situation arises. Pozo is actually perfect for it because based on his role, playing regularly isn't that important. His "development" is not a factor in the equation as it would be with other guys from AAA that you'd want to occupy that space.

Just looked it up. Pozo has 8 at bats in the past month and 1 in the last two weeks. Need to figure out how to make that spot usable.

@PatrickRansdell I’m really hoping both parties recognize that a strike will basically fully erase all of the recent goodwill and viewership jumps

Many of the changes over the past few years have worked (like them or not). ABS is very entertaining for both in venue and at home. Not let’s see if they screw it up by having a work stoppage.

@BKSportsTalk See, I give Mo the credit for ‘11, because he was willing to sacrifice the young piece for the exact veteran deadline pieces they needed with the Rasmus trade

I’m sure the responses to this will be reasonable and very much not at all angry.

@PatrickRansdell Are the STL events located in the city? I feel like most donors live in West County and St. Charles county, so those make more sense to focus on. I also like the idea of more university-sponsored watch parties at specific bars for all football games

Fans: First year doing this; Question: Where should we go next year? Places where we can sell tickets, engage donors and create momentum is paramount. This year we visited SGF, Republic and Nixa. Alumni events in KC/STL as well. Also, how can we get increased attendance?

@CardinalSTLMuse I feel like the Cards of the last decade have just had a weird vibe when they play MIL and I’m hoping that bad juju went out the door with the old regime

Early thoughts on this series?

@bschaeffer12 That inning made my tummy hurt

Gorman charges a chopper and makes sure to beat the play at third to end the inning -- and end a very precarious threat with minimal damage.

@bschaeffer12 Have to think wet games will favor the Cards with their base-running mentality, right?

VS2's trek around the bases was a nightmare for laundry purposes but was fun for the Cardinals, he stole two bases and crossed as the Cardinals' fourth run on an infield hit by Herrera.

@CoachCaseyWoods Excited to see the city and county turn maroon!

Gateway to the Future! Eyes out for paw prints.

@kyler416 WHY!?!?

Well fam, it only took five weeks! Hahahahahaha oh well!

@STLSprtsCntrl Victor has to figure it out, and quick. Baez is starting to heat up and Noot has a return date set

The #STLCards try to avoid the sweep this afternoon Drop your Keys to the game 🔑👇

There’s not going to be baseball in ‘27. I’m starting to doubt some time in ‘28

@kyler416 Man, if he sticks at catcher he’ll have a shot at CRAZY fWAR numbers

Pretty perfect throw by Rainiel Rodriguez to throw the runner out trying to steal 2nd

@RedbirdFarmhand Oh yeah! Forgot about him

@twhite8148 I assume Bruce Zimmerman will take a more prominent role

Don’t think you can understate how massive of a blow this is to the Cardinals pitching depth

It’s that kind of day, man.

@cardinalsgifs @C70 Herrera, 3rd, Big Mac Land

Hey @kyler416 , is Mason Molina actually good? Like I know he’s not a highly rated prospect, but all he does is shove

@bschaeffer12 He’s gonna hit 40 bombs and I’ll still be holding my breath waiting for the other shoe to drop

Is it just Jordan Walker szn? Is that what we're dealing with here??

@grycoop @memphisredbirds The positions are all off

@memphisredbirds You have Velazquez catching over Bernal and Crooks?

@StewStilez @kyler416 My first in-person opening day!

there is something poetic about Matthew Liberatore getting his first career Opening Day start vs the org that drafted him. i’m so fired up for thursday, man
