1 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: It's Sunday, August third. The sun is setting here on 2 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: the West coast in San Diego. And guess what, everyone, 3 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: The MLB trade deadline is behind us, and the next 4 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: two months of Cardinals baseball is going to look much 5 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: much different. Welcome back to Cardinals territory. I'm your host, 6 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: Katie Wu. Let's recap the first post deadline series. The 7 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: Cardinals lost today's ubermatch to the San Diego Padres by 8 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: a score of seven to three. Audre Polante, I thought, 9 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: actually pitched a decent ballgame, two earned runs over five innings, 10 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 1: maneuvered his way through lots of traffic, but did so 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: with the good pitch mix, generated a considerable amount of 12 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: swing and miss. Didn't really think the Padres were picking 13 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: up a lot from him. I really think the only 14 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: thing that messed him up was the two run homer 15 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: by Jay Cronaworth. But let's be honest, it didn't really 16 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 1: matter what Polanta did today. The Cardinals had one hit 17 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: through the first eight innings and struck out sixteen times. 18 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: Hard to win when you don't hit or score. Here's why, 19 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: Matt Cardinals fans and candidly this is a bit of 20 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: an adjustment for me as much as it is for you. 21 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: I think going forward for the remaining forty nine ish 22 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: games or so for the rest of the season, we 23 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: have to change how we evaluate this team. And this 24 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: is not at all to suggest Cardinals fans should lower 25 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,279 Speaker 1: their standards when watching this team. I'm actually really against 26 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: that argument. But that's a conversation for a different time. 27 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: When I say change how we evaluate, here's what I mean. 28 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: When you are, whether you're a reporter, a fan, a coach, 29 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: a front office person, when you're watching a contending team, 30 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: you know exactly what you're looking for. Did a player 31 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: execute when he was supposed to, did the bullpen matchup 32 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: with the right lane? Did the right reliever get the 33 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: right spot? Was the defense in the correct positioning? Was 34 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: the right decision major in a bang bang play? Like 35 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting these things don't matter anymore. Obviously they do. 36 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: But when you're evaluating a rebuilding team, because that's what 37 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: we are now, that's what we're looking at now, these 38 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: things become secondary. What becomes the most important thing. The 39 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: top priority for an organization in an evaluation peer like 40 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: the Cardinals are in right now, is identifying scenarios and 41 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: players that can help you for the future. Here's an 42 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: example when we are when we spent a lot of 43 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: the first half talking to Oli Marmal about his bullpen usage, 44 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: and there would be specific lanes for specific players, and 45 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: we all knew it, and we would talk about, Hey, 46 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 1: why did Steven Matts get this lane? Why did Phil 47 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: Maton get this lane? Why did Jojo Romero get this lane? 48 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: And I thought Olli would do a nice job of 49 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: explaining why so much to the point where we pretty 50 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: much knew in the first half which reliever was coming in, 51 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: because that's how the Cardinals like to use them. Going 52 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: forward for August and September, it's going to be natural 53 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: to ask why this reliever. It doesn't matter right now. 54 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: If Oli Marmal has a decision to make in the 55 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: six between Gordon Grosepo and Matt Sphonson and he goes 56 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: Gordon Groseppo and Gordon Grocefo gets lit up, I don't 57 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: think the appropriate question is why did you go Groseppo Oversponsin. 58 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: It's what did you see from Grisefo so here in 59 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: this matchup going forward that you'll know whether choose them 60 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 1: in this spot again or whether or not to It's 61 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: not a matter of which reliever gets the lane. It's 62 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: a matter of what did this reliever do today and 63 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: will that help this organization evaluate what his role could 64 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: be in the future. The Cardinals are going to win 65 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: some games that they easily or I'm sorry, the Cardinals 66 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: are going to lose some games that they easily could 67 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: have won because of this. It's not great, but that's 68 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: the whole point of the next two months. That was 69 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: supposed to be the whole point of this season. Actually, 70 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: this transition year is now actually becoming a transition season 71 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: because the Cardinals have offloaded or their highest leverage relievers. 72 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: They're without their starting third basement for a while. We'll 73 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: get to that, and they're making an emphasis on playing 74 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: the young players every day. That's what this whole season 75 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: was supposed to be about, and it wasn't. So that's 76 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: what I mean when we change how we evaluate. The 77 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: Cardinals had some really poor from a box score perspective 78 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: stats today, but in the ninth inning, and I'm not 79 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: creating this apology like, oh, you know, participation award thing. 80 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: I do think this is important. They get to Adrian Mahone, 81 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: Mike Schilf Potter's manager puts him in left a reliever 82 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: at seven to nothing. All right, in the ninth. This 83 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: team could have easily rolled over and called it, you know, 84 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: call it a serius. They lose the series. Whatever they sold, 85 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: it's fine. They didn't do that. Five consecutive hitters reached 86 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: against morohone and Mike Schultz had to use his closer 87 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: down five. He had to go to Robert Suarez to 88 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: finish that game, and those at bats matter. Allie Marmel 89 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: described it as a learning curve. This is a learning 90 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: curve game. I agree with that. You have a top 91 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: of the lineup and Mason win, Evon Herrera. Evon Herrera 92 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: had a nice game today, Alec Burlison and Wilson Contreras, 93 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: but specifically those three that said, you know what, We're 94 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: not gonna go down in an order here. We're gonna 95 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: keep giving you a fight. Let's have the same sort 96 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: of attack that we would if we were a contending team, 97 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: and that helps the long run. There are guys that 98 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: are going to go out there and not look great. 99 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: Nolan Gorman has not looked good at third base again. 100 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: We'll get to that. Thomas a. Jac We did not 101 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: have a great series. Some of these guys are going 102 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: to be exposed right now, that's the point they have 103 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: to learn here. It's going to make for some not 104 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: very pretty baseball. It's going to make for some frustrating 105 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: moments on the field. But as we switch to twenty 106 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: twenty six and beyond the next two months, while painful, 107 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: while disappointing, well probably aren't always going to be great 108 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: or clean or good baseball are just as important as 109 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: this club finally embraces what it said it was going 110 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: to do at the end of the twenty twenty four 111 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: season and emphasize the future. All right, Hopefully that makes 112 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: you feel a little bit better about the series, because 113 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: it's where we are and guys, I don't like it. 114 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: I don't like coming to work. And you know, I 115 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: was so jealous of the Padres writers. They're analyzing every pitch. 116 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: You know, that's why we're here, that's why we get 117 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: into this is for the big moments. But the organization 118 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: and you're going to roll your eyes. You know it 119 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: might miss the market. First, the organization is going to 120 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: continue saying we need to see what we have in 121 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: these guys. I agree, because if you don't now you 122 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: never will, and then we're stuck in this toxic cycle 123 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: of are they contenders? Are they fringe contenders. Let's actually 124 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: fix what's going on the underline issues of this organization, 125 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: which we know our player development. See what you have 126 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: and with your homegrown talent, and give them an opportunity 127 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: to play for the next two months. If there's any 128 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: silver lining here, it's that you have the opportunity to 129 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: look at what this future might be. And when you 130 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: see what Ivon Herrera is doing in left field or 131 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: at the plate, when you see what Mason Wan is 132 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: doing its shortstop, when you see Alec Burlison emerging into 133 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: a number three hitter for this club. Though, that's all 134 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: super important as we head into twenty twenty six. Again, 135 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it's gonna be the most compelling baseball. 136 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: It's going to be frustrating some days. It's just gonna suck, 137 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: that's what it is. But this is something that an 138 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: organization that really wants to bring change to should be doing. 139 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: They have roughly fifty games or so to continue seeing 140 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: what they have in these young guys and they'll go 141 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: from there. All right. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. 142 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: Let's get into some roster move that happened over the weekend. 143 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: The Cardinals started the post deadline era with Nolan Arnatto 144 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: hitting the ten day intery list with a right shoulder strain. 145 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: This is the same shoulder injury that plagued him in July, 146 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: where he had to miss a handful of games. He 147 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: was hopeful that taking the All Star break and some 148 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: extended rest would have a shoulder feel better. But it 149 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: has not looked good, guys. I mean, Arnatto's ops in 150 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: July started with four. Okay, it wasn't good. He hasn't 151 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: homework since June twenty first, Clearly something is wrong there. 152 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: I know there's going to be some conspiracy theorists out 153 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: here saying, oh, you know, Cardinals made him go on 154 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: the al so they could play Gorman. That's not my 155 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: riven situation at all. We haven't talked to Nolan, but 156 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: just you know, this is someone who's been on the 157 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: injured list. This is just the fourth time in his career, 158 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: one time with the Cardinals, and two of those stints 159 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: happened when either the Rockies or the Cardinals were firmly 160 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: out of contention. I think my reading the situation here 161 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: is this is something that Arnatto felt he could have 162 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: played through if the team was contending, but because the 163 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: team sold, and because he's clearly not right. I mean, 164 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: look at the number. He has not looked good. He 165 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: has made the decision where you know, it's best for 166 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: me and the team to go on the injured list 167 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: right now and get my shoulder right. I think that 168 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: was more or less the decision behind the timing. It 169 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: was I can play through this. He no longer has 170 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: to play through this right now because the Cardinals are 171 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: pivoting towards twenty twenty six and beyond, and who knows 172 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: if he's gonna be here. Well, I'm sure we'll revisit 173 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: all the trade speculation because it's a Cardinal tradition now. 174 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: But that was my understanding of what happened there. Nolan 175 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: Gorman's going to see the bulk of time at third 176 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: base Thomas a jac available to slot in. What this 177 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: means for Gorman it's finally an opportunity to see what 178 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: he can do with everyday playing type, and the Cardinals 179 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: need to where they can slot him defensively. They have 180 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: eighty seven dhs on the roster right now. Okay. They 181 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: have a catcher in left field, they have a catcher 182 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: of first base. Their two actual catchers behind the plate 183 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: are both backup catchers are designed to be. And this 184 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: is no knock on either Patropas or Joel Pozo. It's 185 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: just their nature of their skill set. They don't need 186 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: another DH So they need to find out if Nolan 187 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: has any positional flexibility at all. He's okay at second base, 188 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: but the Cardinals have a much better second baseman named 189 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: Brendan Donovan. Third base does not look good as early. 190 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: I know it's only been a couple of days, but 191 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for Gorman to show what else 192 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: he can bring besides the chance of power and homers. 193 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: What can he bring to be a total defensive player. 194 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: This goes back to our first point. Yeah, you want 195 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: Nolan Gorman to go up there and you know, drive 196 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: in a run or get on base, have an impactful swing. 197 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: You also want to see what he can do defensively 198 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: on the diamond. Can he be an everyday player? Can 199 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: that back hold up? That stuff is going to be 200 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: brought to light over the next you know, however, long 201 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: Arnado is out, Alie Marmold does not have a timetable 202 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: for Arnauda's return, said it was too early when asked 203 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 1: if he was going to be out for the season, 204 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: my gut tells me he won't be. My gut tells 205 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: me he'll be back. I've been wrong before, though, So 206 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: it's all about opportunity, and this is what we would 207 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: have seen. If the Cardinals could have traded Arnaudo in 208 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: the off season, we would have had a whole season 209 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: of this for Nolan, Gorman said. We get two months, 210 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: so better than nothing. But it just goes to show 211 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: that as this Cardinals team uses this bridge season, it's 212 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: looking more and more like a true rebuild here. And 213 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: a true rebuild doesn't have to be five years of 214 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: being terrible. It doesn't have to be tearing the roster 215 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: down to the studs. I've always said that a true 216 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: rebuild can be, Hey, we're gonna concede games right now 217 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: and we're going to look to build for the future. 218 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: We know that we don't have a fully true, majorly 219 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: caliber twenty six man roster. They don't, They do not, Okay, 220 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: they know that the priority is not to supplement the 221 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: twenty six man roster and make it major Lye caliber 222 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: right now. It's to do it in the future and 223 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: the only way the Cardinals can do that because they're 224 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: not going to go out there and spend We know 225 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: that Dewitz ownership will not do that, especially certainly to 226 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: the extent of the higher teams like the Dodgers, Mets, Phillies. 227 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: Take your pick, Padres, but they will try to backfill 228 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: their entire organization with homegrown talent. You got to know 229 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: what your homegrown talent does, what they can do, how 230 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: they can play. So hater fro Nolan Arnado hopefully he's 231 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: back soon, and healthy gorm A third Donovan at second 232 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: Lars Nwbar back from the il on Saturday, surprise, we 233 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: have another roster log jam. The Cardinals have a plethora 234 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: of corner and outfielders new bar Carrera, Burlson, bunch of 235 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: lefties and Gorman and Donovan. You throw in there, Victor Scott. 236 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: So this will be something that Bernie and I can 237 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: dive into next week on our episode. What Oli Marmal's 238 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: gonna do about yet another redundant roster, I don't know, 239 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: but it is so important for the Cardinals to continue 240 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: giving this opportunity to guys I'm not. I'm gonna try 241 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 1: it really hard not to use runway because I'm just 242 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: so tired of that word. But I'm already also tired 243 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: of the word opportunity. It is what it is. The 244 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: Cardinals do not have a majorly callible roster right now, 245 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: a ton of redundant positions, a ton of issues, and 246 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: guess what, They're gonna have to play through it and 247 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: figure it out so that when twenty twenty six comes, 248 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: they're in a much much better spot. So I know 249 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: it's not a very positive episode, guys, but hey, at 250 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: Lisa Weather's nice here in San Diego. All right, let's 251 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: jump through to our Draft Kings segment. Our DraftKings player 252 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: to watch, all right, Our player to watch, presented by 253 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: DraftKings is none other than the new de facto closer, 254 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: Jojo Romero. Uh, it's not as simple as it seems. Shocking, 255 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: and nothing is with this organization. Let's pull up JoJo's 256 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: stats here coming into Sunday forty two appearances, three and three, 257 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: record two two one era thirty five shockouts of our 258 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: thirty six and two thirds. But I want to look 259 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: at his splits with you guys, and just kind of 260 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: break down how effective Jojo has been in July, a 261 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: month that wasn't good for a lot of players, it 262 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: was very good for Jojo. Opponents hit one ninety four 263 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: off him a four forty four ops. He did not 264 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: allow an earn run in nine appearances, and he struck 265 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: out fifteen. That's pretty good stuff. That's why we'll we 266 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: ask President Baseball Operations jahm Azaylok after he traded Ryan Helsley, 267 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: Stephen Matts, and Phil Maton who the closer would be. 268 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: He said Jojo Romero would most likely see the uptic 269 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: in high leverage situations. Now, notice they did not name 270 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: him the closer specifically. That's because they can't. Jojo Romero 271 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: is the only left handed believer in this roster. See 272 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, a lot of issues, a lot 273 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: of problems. So the Cardinals can't use him solely in 274 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: the ninth. They have to use him for the best 275 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: lane against lefty hitters. Sometimes that's going to be the seventh, 276 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's going to be the eighth. Sometimes it's going 277 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: to be the ninth. Uh But what is going to 278 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: be really difficult about this is back to the original 279 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: point we made at the start. Of the episode. The 280 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: Cardinals have always had kind of players and lanes. You 281 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: knew Mayton was coming in the eighth. You knew lay 282 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: he would have multiples if it was a lefty lane 283 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: or a righty lane. Excuse me, a no, Mats would 284 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: have multiples if it was a lefty lane coming up. 285 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: And you knew Ryan Helsley was taking the ninth easy money. 286 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: It is kind of all over the place now. There 287 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: is just simply there's no way to avoid this. There's 288 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: no way for Ali Marble and Dusty Blake to avoid 289 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: this situation. There are going to be times when they 290 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: put a right handed believer in a lane that doesn't 291 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: match up well for said reliever because they don't have 292 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: another lefty. That's what John King's injury on Tuesday really 293 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: poor timing because you lose another lefty there, Oh, why 294 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: not bring a lefty up from triple A? You ask, Oh, 295 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: they don't have any Okay, You see the problem here. 296 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: This is not just an active roster or a forty 297 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: man roster issue. This is an overarching view of the 298 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: entire organization. It's why player development has been the focus. 299 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: But now I'm getting off or off tangent and I'm 300 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: getting irritated of a situation, So let's go back to Jojo. 301 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: Jojo is probably best suited to close, and he did 302 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: this role in twenty twenty three when the Cardinals sold 303 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: as well. But again because of the lane and because 304 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: of the lack of other lefty options, they're going to 305 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: use him in highest leverage. You'll see someone like Riley O'Brien. 306 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: He was up for the ninth on Saturday's game. If 307 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: it got to a safe situation, that would have been 308 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: exciting to see. Kyle Lahy is going to continue in 309 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: that multiples. I mean Kyle lay On Saturday inning and 310 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: two thirds lights out against the Padres in that eight 311 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: to five win against them, they're only win of the series. 312 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: And you're looking at other guys. You're looking at what 313 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: can Matt Sponson do. Matt Sponson had a pretty impressive 314 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: outing on Friday, striking out Manny Machado. So there are 315 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: pieces and they are things to get excited about. Ryan 316 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: Fernandez is back from Memphis. We haven't had a chance 317 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: to see him yet briefly on Friday. It's not a 318 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: bullpen where the roles are established many like most of 319 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: the season, most of twenty twenty four and twenty twenty three. 320 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: It's a let's try to match up for our best 321 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: possible success, knowing that sometimes we're gonna put a reliever 322 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: in a lane that doesn't match up for him, and 323 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to execute and learn from it, and 324 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: we move forward. But Jojo Romero has been very, very effective, 325 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: and in a perfect world he will get the ninth. 326 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: Cardinals could really use another lefty right now. So you 327 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: hope that John King and that leftover league strain comes 328 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: back soon. It's tough right now, guys. It does a 329 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: Baron roster a lot of issues. Again, I'm not envious 330 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: of Allie Marvel and the job he has to do 331 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: in order to try to make these guys better. The 332 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: math just doesn't really add up here. You have a 333 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: roster with seven right handed relievers who all have more 334 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: or less the same amount of stuff, with the exception 335 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: of Leahy and O'Brien. You have five left handed hitters. 336 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: They all play in the corners. You have one true 337 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: center fielder. Even though you have eight outfielders, you don't 338 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: really have anyone that can back up Victor Scott in 339 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: center field. You have one shortstop in Mason Wynn. Your 340 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: third basement's on the il, so you're using Nolan Gorman, 341 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: who doesn't really look like a third basement at the moment. 342 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: Thomas A. Jac whilst I still think has a lot 343 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: of potential, is pretty raw, probably overmatched at the big 344 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: leagues right now, but they don't have anyone else to 345 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: play them, so they're going to do that tough spot 346 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: to be. So that's a player spotlight powered by Draft Kings. 347 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: I don't have picks for you guys today because we 348 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: don't have the Monday episodes out yet, but I'm looking 349 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: at the Pick six website right now. Phillies Tiger is 350 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: a Sunday night baseball which I believe is underway or 351 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: it just started, so I don't know. I can't make picks. 352 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: But anytime that you see the Phillies up there and 353 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: the Tigers, two very good, solid teams, you'll have lots 354 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: of players to look at.

He races over there and gets 377 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: the ball quick gets it back to the infield on 378 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: a hard throat a second runner stops at first. That's 379 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 1: that's an extra ninety feet is pivotal that he's saved 380 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: right there. The sinking liner in Golden Hour Day game 381 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: to left field, that's a really tough play for a 382 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: new outfielder. He handled that pretty seamlessly. I know that's 383 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: a routine play for an experience left fielder. But Evon 384 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: Herrera has like four days in left field till it's 385 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: cut in some slack. If there's one thing the Cardinals 386 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: are doing that I'm encouraged by. I think Herrera could 387 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: be a service major league outfielder out there. So maybe 388 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 1: that's what we're looking for. Is we head into the 389 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: Dodgers series, Let's look at the probables. All I know 390 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: is that show Hey slates to go Wednesday, so I'm 391 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: excited about it. Your probables for the Cardinals Dodgers series 392 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: at Dodgers Stadium, they will go Sunny Gray and versus 393 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: Taylor Glass Now on Monday Tuesday, Miles Michaelis versus Emmett Shean, 394 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: and then Matthew Libertore versus Show Hey o Tani Wednesday 395 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: Getaway Day. That's what we're looking at. And what you 396 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: could also be looking at before we go away is 397 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: the Cardinal Territory Shop. Our merch is out. I just 398 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: ordered a brand new bag. I'm super excited. Not hats yet, 399 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: but soon. We have quarter zip sweatshirts, shirts, coffee mugs, 400 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: water bottles, backpacks. Anything you could possibly want we have. 401 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: You can check the link if you're watching on YouTube, 402 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: it should pop up right under the show. And if 403 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: you aren't listening to us on the podcast, you can 404 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: visit Cardinal Art story shop dot com again for your 405 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: first look at new merch. All right, Cardinals fans, We're 406 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: going to get through the next two months together. And 407 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: I do think that there are when I say exciting 408 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: relative to the situation, there are things to be excited 409 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: about in terms of evaluating the future. And I know 410 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: this is not a place anyone wants to be in. 411 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: I know, selling again for the second time in three years. 412 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: It's disheartening as a fan. It sucks, especially this fan 413 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: base that has been conditioned to have such high standards, 414 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 1: and I think the organization should be doing its best 415 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: to uphold those standards instead of asking the fan base 416 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: to lower theirs. But here we are, it's going to 417 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: get complicated, and there's going to be things and situations 418 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: that just don't make a lot of sense. I'm here 419 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: to help you through it. Sometimes it don't make a 420 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: lot of sense to me either, So let's learn through 421 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: this together. I'm not going to pretend to tell you 422 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: that I have all the answers right now, but I 423 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: will try my best to get there again. It won't 424 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: be the most pretty baseball over the next two months, 425 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: but I still think there are things worth watching as 426 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: we look towards hopefully much better twenty twenty six and beyond. 427 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: Birdie and I are back with you next week.
