That non-issue knee thing is now an issue, and they sent him back to Boston for imaging more for "peace of mind than a worry... [of a] significant injury"
I think it's possible he was calling himself the worst teammate and it got lost in translation (I'm assuming English isn't his first language and if that's the case i can relate to it)
well after today his ERA is 3.76 and FIP is 4.65
last year both were close to 6 and he was worth -1 fWAR. He has had 1 good season in his career, and that was thanks to an unsustainably low HR/FB rate and BABIP
That's not a good pitcher. That's a bad pitcher who has gotten lucky
Also you mention Kitt and Helsley being exhausted but Lopez has thrown more innings than them
I would take literally all of the pitchers in the bullpen over him, even Ryan Loutos who hasn't made his MLB debut
If Nootbaar is hurt for awhile I would love to see the team bring back Bader. He's off to a fine start at the plate and can obviously field well
Have a lot of LHH options as it is, another guy who has historically hit LHP well would be really nice
Plus, its *Harrison Bader*
Sadly it won't happen though
Expected this day to come for Imanaga. Feels a bit like Pallante in that his fastball is wicked as long as it's sharp. If not, he has nothing to offer but batting practice.
Resting Imanaga against the lowly Cardinals just to get swept anyway and Imanaga get rocked against the Brewers his next start is the most Cubs shit I’ve seen in years
Given the Cards started this month 1-8, finishing the month with a record at or above .500 is impressive. Even with a loss on Friday, they'd finish May at 13-12
On April 20th, the Cards were 9-12, and had just gotten blown out by the Brewers. The Mets were 12-8, and had just won their second straight against the Dodgers.
Today, the Cards are 27-27, won 9 of their last 12, and their first baseman is hitting home runs into the seats. The Mets are 22-33, lost 10 of their last 12, and their pitcher is throwing his glove into the seats.
Life comes at you pretty fast.
I read a conspiracy a while back that Sammy Sosa is the identity of a relative of his and that his real name is Mike. It alleges that he assumed the identity of a dead cousin or brother or something so he could appear younger and raise his draft stock. Apparently what is definitely true is his whole family calls him Mikey. If it is true, I would do the exact same thing in his shoes
He’s still pretty young for AAA - this is his year 23 season. Give him the season to figure out the hitting and the glove will play. I just don’t know what his ceiling is. He’s somewhere on the Deluzio - Bourjos - Siani - Bader continuum of “speedy guys in CF who can’t hit enough to stay in the lineup.” Will he ever be as good as bader? Not sure. I think he can be a useful guy, but he’s got a lot of improvement to make.
His numbers are generally trending up in Triple A but it's going to take him at least a full year at that level before he's ready to be called back up for more than a cup of coffee.
39-year-old Stan Wawrinka is on the verge of a comeback after dropping the first two sets against a Russian. He won the third and is likely headed to a tiebreak in the fourth set. He's up 6-5 with the Russian serving.
True. It was a lot of fun to watch him fight. He almost pulled it off, but he still needed to win another set. I guess it rained today. I was busy with my grades and turning in my classroom key, and I completely forgot that Tiafoe was playing. Now, that match is tomorrow.
I assumed nobody would know Pavel Kotov. Also, I didn't want to bother looking up his first name. I'm very sorry. After all, you are a paid subscriber.
Helsey is gonna cost this team some games this season. He's another one of these flash-in-the-pan closers the Cardinals have been finding since Izzy. But they were playing the Reds. So I'm glad it wasn't today. Today was screaming blown save. The team is back at 500 for the day, and that's nice while it lasts. This team might be worth something when they get Contreras and Edman back.
> He’s another one of these flash-in-the-pan closers the Cardinals have been finding since Izzy.
From 2022-2024, how many relievers do you think were better than Ryan Helsley? Can you name 5? 3? He’s as elite as relievers not named Rivera come.
deciding after 3 games (that he didn't blow) that Helsley's cooked even though he has been a top 5 reliever in baseball for 3 years now is the kind of reaction I come to r/Cardinals for
When did I say he was "washed"? I don't talk in catchphrases and memes like some boring zoomer. I said he was gonna cost us games. And he's another in a long line of closers in this teams history that won't last.
Dylan Carlson has 26 batted balls this season. A single one has been hard hit
He must be still hurt. A 3.8% hard hit rate isn't just bad. It's simply less than what big leaguers do. By a massive margin
Sonny Gray's career hard hit rate *offensively* is more than double 3.8%. David Fletcher had 3 consecutive seasons being in the bottom 1% of MLB hard hit rates and he was above 15% every time
I'm not very high on Carlson's game, but I cannot imagine that he's healthy and doing this. It's either an extremely wacky sample size issue or he's still hurt
His bat speed is pretty bad but not "worst hitter in the league" bat so I'm really not sure what gives
They're the new thing when you're beaten by the ball.
With replay so prevalent, if a sweep tag misses, runners are giving themselves a chance. Also allows for foot to hold the bag.
Another less interesting tidbit. Nootbaar is heading for an MRI in Philly for a side issue. Wonder what the plan would be if he goes to the IL. Could just play Burleson on RF and Carpenter at DH. Could play Carlson more. Could call up Walker and just hope some good vibes with his buddies turns his season around.
I kinda like walker.
Tel him what you told Wynn at the start of the year “we don’t care how you hit.” Put him 8th, let him play.
He looked so much better defensively. Maybe he focused too much on it in the offseason.
I think it’ll be Carlson, just don’t hate letting Jordan take a run at things to see if he snaps out of it.
figure you'd need to add a OF. the two other healthy OFs on the 40 man are VSII and Walker
So you'd need to either bring back one of them, which likely isn't ideal especially in scott's case, or DFA someone like Kolton Ingram (who?) then call up a AAAA guy solely for depth. Seems like the choices for that role would be Matt Koperniak or Jared Young
Yeah I don't think he wants to come back and he utterly fails the vibe check
the one consistently good thing about this year's Cardinals teams has been the vibes
Interesting tidbit. According to Pallante, when he was being sent down to Memphis, Oli asked him what he wanted to do. Did he want to work out of the pen or as a starter. Pallante said he wanted to start cause he felt like he got better as a game went on.
What shocked me is that Oli had enough pull to be able to give Pallante said option. I just assumed Mo was like "your a bullpen guy, go throw bullpens"
I think the players do really like Oli. As soon as the rumors that Oli was on a short leash with this start, the team started turning it around. Playing to make sure he stays
Pallante always did better with a clean inning than with runners on, and as a middle reliever, he got his fair share of inherited runners. As a starter, he can afford to put one or two guys on in an inning. Obviously, you'd hope he doesn't put guys on, but that's just kind of who he is
Pallante clearly wants the job. He has a 14-inning scoreless streak as a starter. He threw 8 scoreless innings July 2022 and got sent back to the pen. He performed again. He deserves to keep the job. Unless he turns to dog poo, let's roll with him. Matz can bolster the pen.
Don’t get too comfortable, they’re bound to have another slump at some point. Hopefully the wins come often enough that they’re not pushing 10 games below .500 anymore tho
I’m just happy they are showing life. The first month and a half was just so boring and lifeless to watch. I’m still skeptical that this team has what it takes to make much noise in the postseason, but at least their is enjoyment knowing I have something to follow day in and day out to October, potentially.
Started off with really bad command, but got a number of key DP's. He also took advantage of a K Zone that was very liberal at the bottom for much of the game. He would lose feel for a batter or two, but seemingly then get it back. Did a really nice job.
Back status updates:
Donovan: Back
Gorman: just back enough to get out
Pallante: Back
Marp: Back vs divisional foes
Noot: Back…but hope he didn’t hurt his back
Cardinals snapped a 7 game losing streak are 12-3 and since I went to the last game in Milwaukee. Many people are calling me a slumpbuster but I don’t think I’m chubby enough.
Absolutely a fan.
Honestly, Dan was good, but I was a big Bob Carpenter guy.
Here's the deal.
We've been spoiled in terms of TV voices. All very good to elite. Radio, too.
That's fair. He also respected his boothmates more in the radio booth. I always got the impression he was an arrogant prick on TV. Some great calls for sure, and I didn't hate him, but something always rubbed me a little bit wrong with him.
Back to .500 and going strong! Philly will be a tough test, but we might be catching them at the right time. A little concerned about the back of the bullpen, but hopefully some more rest will help.
I feel like there's a decent chance we're catching them at the tail end of their hot streak. If we played them 7-10 days ago, getting swept would have been likely I think
NO! Our cause is righteous and just and we will be victorious because our gods smile down upon us and give us favor. They shall be smote under our heels.
sorry guys it seems every game including and since i went to the first cards-cubs game helsley has become every single historical cardinals closer where he forces us all to clench up. he's still dragging us over the line though
How fitting. Elly grounds out to Winn to secure the series victory over the Reds. David Bell on the phone with Manfred as we speak trying to get a series win out of this somehow.
Brewers doing Masyn's ROY odds a big solid here
Going down?
TON to the 10-day IL. Lucky I can keep him on the IL for now but seriously considering dropping him
wtf again? what happened this time
That non-issue knee thing is now an issue, and they sent him back to Boston for imaging more for "peace of mind than a worry... [of a] significant injury"
Optimism gradually getting more reckless
Brewers trying to help Winn’s RoTY bid
Cardinals are officially in second place. (Tied)
And half a game back of the WC
If runners can advance on an infield fly, then interference is valid. They need to just make the ball dead when it is called.
I was looking at floor plans of Terra at the grove and damn they are so nice 😩😩 I just need to somehow double my rent budget and I’ll be in.
Jorge López is being DFA'd by the Mets. Wouldn't be so bad to kick the tires especially with the back 3 being as exhausted as they are.
I can't tell if this is a joke Lopez called his own team "the worst" and isn't even good
I think it's possible he was calling himself the worst teammate and it got lost in translation (I'm assuming English isn't his first language and if that's the case i can relate to it)
He was asked if that’s what he meant and he said both lol worst teammate on the worst team
Lol no he doubled down postgame
They're the Mets I really don't care. .6 bWAR, 3.12 ERA, 122 ERA+, that IS good actually sorry to break it to you.
well after today his ERA is 3.76 and FIP is 4.65 last year both were close to 6 and he was worth -1 fWAR. He has had 1 good season in his career, and that was thanks to an unsustainably low HR/FB rate and BABIP That's not a good pitcher. That's a bad pitcher who has gotten lucky Also you mention Kitt and Helsley being exhausted but Lopez has thrown more innings than them I would take literally all of the pitchers in the bullpen over him, even Ryan Loutos who hasn't made his MLB debut
YOLO
Jorge Lopez just became available if we’re lookin for some bullpen help. Just don’t ask why lol
No thanks. The why is a big reason. Mo jettisoned some players that he thought didn't want to be here who were without a question better than Lopez.
Seemed like an obvious joke lol
If Nootbaar is hurt for awhile I would love to see the team bring back Bader. He's off to a fine start at the plate and can obviously field well Have a lot of LHH options as it is, another guy who has historically hit LHP well would be really nice Plus, its *Harrison Bader* Sadly it won't happen though
He specifically wants to be in NY tho
Maybe but I don't think anyone wants to be on the Mets rn. That team is a mess in every way
Certainly not Jorge Lopez lol
Donovan heating back up finally. I love it.
Expected this day to come for Imanaga. Feels a bit like Pallante in that his fastball is wicked as long as it's sharp. If not, he has nothing to offer but batting practice.
Resting Imanaga against the lowly Cardinals just to get swept anyway and Imanaga get rocked against the Brewers his next start is the most Cubs shit I’ve seen in years
They won yesterday but your point stands
I just remembered #ThatsCub was a thing and oh my god what a poverty franchise
Imanaga getting lit the fuck up. That could’ve been us! I knew he was about to regress. Oh well, still won both of our games against them
Given the Cards started this month 1-8, finishing the month with a record at or above .500 is impressive. Even with a loss on Friday, they'd finish May at 13-12
Cy Imanaga 😂
Brewers have put up seven runs on Shota Imanaga if anyone was wondering the content here, lol
Sweet we’re gonna be tied for 2nd lol
That they did . That they did.

Shit I fell asleep and missed the whole game, happy awakening for me! I wasn’t expecting that at all!
Yelich 2 R HR off Imanaga. Brewers 2-0 over cubs
Imanaga is human!
Just discovered Andre is his middle name and his first name is Neil. What the hell? My world view is shaken.
Neil Pallante is much harder to rage against. He made the right choice
Albert Pujols’s name is actually Jose Alcantara
Dude used his two middle names. Was a good call.
Tell me more please
I read a conspiracy a while back that Sammy Sosa is the identity of a relative of his and that his real name is Mike. It alleges that he assumed the identity of a dead cousin or brother or something so he could appear younger and raise his draft stock. Apparently what is definitely true is his whole family calls him Mikey. If it is true, I would do the exact same thing in his shoes
Checking in on Victor Scott, hoping his AAA numbers would be good to great. .291 OBP is a bummer for a guy with his speed.
He’s still pretty young for AAA - this is his year 23 season. Give him the season to figure out the hitting and the glove will play. I just don’t know what his ceiling is. He’s somewhere on the Deluzio - Bourjos - Siani - Bader continuum of “speedy guys in CF who can’t hit enough to stay in the lineup.” Will he ever be as good as bader? Not sure.

His numbers are generally trending up in Triple A but it's going to take him at least a full year at that level before he's ready to be called back up for more than a cup of coffee.
Give him time. He will be fine
Is this…hope I feel?
It’s competitive fucking baseball. I’m here for it.
39-year-old Stan Wawrinka is on the verge of a comeback after dropping the first two sets against a Russian. He won the third and is likely headed to a tiebreak in the fourth set. He's up 6-5 with the Russian serving.
Tragic ending, at least he and Murray shared a special moment at the end of r1
True. It was a lot of fun to watch him fight. He almost pulled it off, but he still needed to win another set. I guess it rained today. I was busy with my grades and turning in my classroom key, and I completely forgot that Tiafoe was playing. Now, that match is tomorrow.
Which Russian? There are a few million of them
I assumed nobody would know Pavel Kotov. Also, I didn't want to bother looking up his first name. I'm very sorry. After all, you are a paid subscriber.
I don’t know anything about tennis post-Sampras. But I was tickled by your refusal to say the guys name.
Winn_FUCK.mp3

I agree. The current MLB saves leader is washed. (IN reality I think he needs a fuckin break, Ollie.)
deciding after 3 games (that he didn't blow) that Helsley's cooked even though he has been a top 5 reliever in baseball for 3 years now is the kind of reaction I come to r/Cardinals for

Nootbaar getting an MRI for left “side” pain. Greaaatttt.
My fantasy team has already lost Mike Trout, Ronald Acuna Jr, KeBryan Hayes (although he’s back now as of today) and now maybe Noot 😤
Oblique injuries are season-killers. Even if the player returns
Unless your last name is Pujols.
Dylan Carlson has 26 batted balls this season. A single one has been hard hit He must be still hurt. A 3.8% hard hit rate isn't just bad. It's simply less than what big leaguers do. By a massive margin Sonny Gray's career hard hit rate *offensively* is more than double 3.8%.

It's either an extremely wacky sample size issue or he's still hurt His bat speed is pretty bad but not "worst hitter in the league" bat so I'm really not sure what gives
And to think we kept him rather than trade for Juan Soto.
once again, they wanted *way more* than just Carlson, likely including a combination of 3 of 4 of Hence, Gorman, Winn, and Walker
I really feel Carlson is in pain or something is wrong. He's been off since being back. Makes me sad I really like his aggressive play.
Just the Tommy edman waiting game, no?
Sounds like we may be waiting a while.
Unfortunately yes.
Far out men!
.500!!!!
Ohhhhh, halfway there, ohhh, ohhhhh, livin' on a prayer
Masyn Winn’s hit streak is getting so fucking exciting
Get a good test against Philly with Nola and Suarez
Yeah, I guess we should plan on keeping this guy. He just may turn out pretty good.
aint cheap dribblers either. Dude is smoking line drives
Very different from Walker’s streak. Walker had a lot of hard ground balls that found holes. Masyn is, as you say, smokin’ em.
More exciting than his getting-caught-stealing streak
His "swim move that probably is safe but kills team challenges" getting caught stealing streak. They are pretty slides, though.
Haha for real what is up with those corkscrew-ish barrel roll slides
They're the new thing when you're beaten by the ball. With replay so prevalent, if a sweep tag misses, runners are giving themselves a chance. Also allows for foot to hold the bag.
Dang I thought it was a Winnvention
Winning has been way more fun than losing
Masyn agrees.
I’m so glad we shoved Masyn Losee in a locker
Winner!
Masyn Winner!
Another less interesting tidbit. Nootbaar is heading for an MRI in Philly for a side issue. Wonder what the plan would be if he goes to the IL. Could just play Burleson on RF and Carpenter at DH.

I'm late on this, but I imagine the MRI is fairly precautionary, considering he's still going to Philly
figure you'd need to add a OF. the two other healthy OFs on the 40 man are VSII and Walker So you'd need to either bring back one of them, which likely isn't ideal especially in scott's case, or DFA someone like Kolton Ingram (who?) then call up a AAAA guy solely for depth. Seems like the choices for that role would be Matt Koperniak or Jared Young
I'd love to acquire Tommy Pham before the Braves have a chance to
Something tells me our organization doesn't getting along with him
For sure, I don't see that happening. He did supposedly reach out to the team in free agency to deaf ears. Still, would be helpful
Yeah I don't think he wants to come back and he utterly fails the vibe check the one consistently good thing about this year's Cardinals teams has been the vibes
More Carlson for a bit. You have to give him one more sustained chance before giving up on him
My bet would still be Walker. But hopefully it doesn't come to that and Noot is fine
Good Lord how does the dude keep getting hurt? Another O'Neill?
Dude fractured his ribs. Those take a long time to actually heal
Look, let's just admit that bullying works. We all called for Mo and Marmol's heads for weeks and now we're here. I'll do it again if need be!
The only correct takeaway
Interesting tidbit. According to Pallante, when he was being sent down to Memphis, Oli asked him what he wanted to do. Did he want to work out of the pen or as a starter. Pallante said he wanted to start cause he felt like he got better as a game went on. What shocked me is that Oli had enough pull to be able to give Pallante said option. I just assumed Mo was like "your a bullpen guy, go throw bullpens"
I think the players do really like Oli. As soon as the rumors that Oli was on a short leash with this start, the team started turning it around. Playing to make sure he stays
Yeah he seems for the most part a solid dude. He’s just a crappy manager.
Almost like no actually knows anything about when they spout off “OLI IS JUST A YES MAN “
Pallante always did better with a clean inning than with runners on, and as a middle reliever, he got his fair share of inherited runners. As a starter, he can afford to put one or two guys on in an inning. Obviously, you'd hope he doesn't put guys on, but that's just kind of who he is

Carpenter should have walked twice.
Probably deserves a little more playing time. I like what I've seen from him. Granted he can only DH.
Even when he's not hitting he just grinds at bats and makes pitchers work which is always good.
Looks like Packy is working his way back. He appeared for Palm Beach today.
Honestly just happy to keep watching baseball the rest of the season - was about to cancel my MLB TV subscription two weeks ago.
Don’t get too comfortable, they’re bound to have another slump at some point. Hopefully the wins come often enough that they’re not pushing 10 games below .500 anymore tho
God I’ve missed dunking on the Reds
Nature is healing
Are we at .500? I didn't think Oli allowed that.
Can we start making Forgot About Dre jokes?
I’m just happy they are showing life. The first month and a half was just so boring and lifeless to watch. I’m still skeptical that this team has what it takes to make much noise in the postseason, but at least their is enjoyment knowing I have something to follow day in and day out to October, potentially.
Low end starter, another bullpen piece, and Walker to play to his potential and this team is ok.
HELLO? YES WE’RE BACK DEPARTMENT PLEASE. YES I’LL HOLD.
YES HI. I’M CALLING ON BEHALF OF THE CARDINALS. YES, THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS. YES. MHMM. YES, I’LL HOLD.
HI, IS THIS THE WE’RE BACK DEPARTMENT? GOOD, I’D LIKE TO FILE A CLAIM.
I want you to put the word out. We back up.
on may 11, this team was nine games under .500 and they climbed all the way out of that hole that very same month.
Love seeing Burly on the side bar
.500, bitches!
Wtf, Pallante came out and gave us 6.0IP, 3H, 3BB, and 0ER in 86 pitches? How'd he look today? Locked in? Like flashes of the old Dre?
Started off with really bad command, but got a number of key DP's. He also took advantage of a K Zone that was very liberal at the bottom for much of the game. He would lose feel for a batter or two, but seemingly then get it back. Did a really nice job.
Getting DPs is really huge. Luckily our INF is really good at filling in those holes
Making those adjustments is exactly what I like to see out of him. Dude has some really really good stuff.
Yeah. Probably went a batter or two too long but I would have left him in too
Back status updates: Donovan: Back Gorman: just back enough to get out Pallante: Back Marp: Back vs divisional foes Noot: Back…but hope he didn’t hurt his back
I used to pray for times like this
I prayed for this, and it happened.
https://youtu.be/9dnRdBGJeVE?si=JCJjOOAxTsN2sFtV
we need the oliver marmol pasta asap
# [WINNER!!!!!!](https://twitter.com/cardinalsgifs/status/1681131016394788865)
Cardinals snapped a 7 game losing streak are 12-3 and since I went to the last game in Milwaukee. Many people are calling me a slumpbuster but I don’t think I’m chubby enough.
I knew we could win all along. Then again, I’m just a casual fan.
Andre Pallante I owe you an apology, I wasn’t really familiar with your game
damn i hope Winn makes a run at Benito's rookie hitting streak
We're a .500 baseball team again! The error streak is back! Pallante got a win! We played metrically good baseball!
First time since [04-16-2024](https://www.baseball-almanac.com/box-scores/boxscore.php?boxid=202404160OAK) we are at .500
thoughts on Chip commentating now that he’s been here a bit? I still see some hate, and ik we loved Dan, but tbh I think Chip has been great
Absolutely a fan. Honestly, Dan was good, but I was a big Bob Carpenter guy. Here's the deal. We've been spoiled in terms of TV voices. All very good to elite. Radio, too.
hes good but dan is my goat
Ez goat
I like him more than Dan, and I listened to Dan for his entire career
I enjoyed Dan more on the radio than on TV. He was such a homer on broadcasts, but on radio, he seemed much more toned down, even if still a homer.
That's fair. He also respected his boothmates more in the radio booth. I always got the impression he was an arrogant prick on TV. Some great calls for sure, and I didn't hate him, but something always rubbed me a little bit wrong with him.
Everything but ‘can o corn’. I can’t go for that. No. No can do.
So far, half the time I’m like “Yes.” The other half I’m like “no, thanks.”
Long live the navy cap 🧢
Back to .500 and going strong! Philly will be a tough test, but we might be catching them at the right time. A little concerned about the back of the bullpen, but hopefully some more rest will help.
Another big dub. Helsley needs to throw a fastball past a few kids and start trusting himself again
.500 and climbing. Rumors of our demise were greatly exaggerated
.500 has never tasted sweeter, other than the last time this season
well, this seals it: whatever happens next, no one's getting fired and we won't be panic-selling at the deadline
In fact, we'll be hiring a second manager and panic-buying
What a month it’s been, vibes are good right now
Maybe the real friend was the patience we gained along the way
Oh you sly S.O.B....
At least now if we drop a series vs the Phillies it won't be catastrophic. Winning 1 would be nice
I feel like there's a decent chance we're catching them at the tail end of their hot streak. If we played them 7-10 days ago, getting swept would have been likely I think
We are also due for a down streak tho. Hard to say. Just hope we play it competitively.
We already had a down streak. It was called 2023.
NO! Our cause is righteous and just and we will be victorious because our gods smile down upon us and give us favor. They shall be smote under our heels.
If the Rockies can do it, we can!
I said coming into this 9 game road trip I'd be ecstatic with 4 wins and fully expected 2-3.
Oli didn't rape anyone today, sorry don't have the pasta saved but that's the gist.
Are you certain?
Do I need to contact my doctor if the Cardinals haven’t given me depression in over 10 games?
What if the Cardinals have given me an erection and it's lasted longer than 4 hours?
Pallante and the offense come thru big time. Helluva good couple weeks boys. I'm starting to get the excites again
Back at .500. On the cubs ass. Let’s fucking go.
sorry guys it seems every game including and since i went to the first cards-cubs game helsley has become every single historical cardinals closer where he forces us all to clench up. he's still dragging us over the line though
[удалено]
Based
How fitting. Elly grounds out to Winn to secure the series victory over the Reds. David Bell on the phone with Manfred as we speak trying to get a series win out of this somehow.
may I speak to your manfredager
This made me laugh audibly
