1. Born and raised in St Louis what up mo 🎉

2. What do you want the rotation to look like next year? Give me your five starters… GO!

3. I'll make you a small wager……If Kookla, Fran and Lolly are left in place for next season Marmol will have Mikolas and Matz as starters and Pallante in middle relief……AGAIN! Even if the kid is lights out in Spring Training they'll find a way to Foul this up.

4. Great video, sir, and imo if they don't replace oli and staff, none of it will matter 👍

5. In a not realistic world, Nola, Wheeler, Sale, Barrios and Gray. Or Burnes.

6. I'm confident about Gray, Lynn and Pallante going into next season I'm hesitant on Fedde and Gibson and definitely positive about Mikolas and Matz. I just don't think Miles has what it takes to pitch in the Big Leagues and his stats back me up.

7. Gray Pallante Mcgreevy Mathews Graceffo maybe Thompson or Robberse

8. Great job by AP.

9. We need to get a top 2 batters then maybe Contreras 3rd find a number 4 Winn 5th then what you do with the rest of your lineup

10. Walker doesn't seem to pick up the ball off the bat very quickly. I think of Schwarber when he first moved to the outfield, some serious laughs and then he became a decent outfielder. Maybe Walker will be the same.

11. It would be great if the Cards could develop starters similar to Matt Morris, Chris Carpenter, Carlos Martinez for the few years that he was good, Jaime Garcia without the injuries,
    Wainwright, Tewksbury, Skubal and Skenes.

12. We got Pham and he fell way off then goes to KC and explodes why

13. Put Walker at 1st base

14. I didn't trust Pallante at the start of the year but since he became a starter he's made me a believer.He definitely deserves to be in the rotation next year!!!

15. Gray, Burns, Fedde, Pallante, Mathews or Hence. And a big bat.

16. Too bad we aren’t good again this year, I don’t think we will make the playoffs again for a while, which is totally okay with me as long as Mizzou football is great!

17. Good afternoon JD;

    Pallante turned out to be a good story this year. Time will tell how things go with him next year.

    The lack of hitting with runners in scoring position leads me to make a conclusion on the Cardinal hitters.

    It seems to me the Cardinal hitters lack of mental toughness hinders their hitting. It seems to me the number of pitches and strikes taken by the lineup as a whole and the strikeouts bear witness to a mental state that is not ready to hit the ball. It gives off an appearance that the hitter is overwhelmed and/or over matched. It looks weak.

    Hitting starts with mental toughness. If a hitter does not have that, the mechanic’s won’t be there either. That being said, bad mechanic’s can ruin the mental approach as well. So it can be a double edged sword.

    I don’t know how the Cardinal hitters have come to appear to be so passive at the plate in RBI situations. But, too much thinking will take an aggressive bat out of the hands of the best of hitters.

    We see our young hitters like Gorman and Walker struggle the way they have at the big league level this season.

    Something is way off and I can’t help but think that it has to do with instruction by the coaching staff. Let these guys be themselves. It’s no wonder we see guys take off after they leave St Louis! Something is not right.

    I only have to put my hand in a tub of water once to know if it’s hot or cold. How cold will the Cardinal hitters have to get before the FO does something about what we all see?

    An overhaul. A Back to the basic concepts of hitting has to happen THIS OFFSEASON!!!!

18. Gray,Fedde,Gibson, Pallante and go get another starter or bring Matthews or McGreevy up.

19. JD what do you think of this trade I know you want the big pop, but i'm ok with adding solid contact hitters.. Andrew Benntendi and Andrew Vaughn for Mikolas and Matz. The White Sox said they are looking to shed money and Benntendi is owed $15 mil per year over the next 3 years yes it's a bad contract, because of the money and years I think Benntendi is a pretty good player though adding Vaughn would be the main motivation to do this as he is on a very reasonable contract with a few years under control. You think the Cardinals would consider this or something like this?

20. They own Skenes but yet have a shithole team. I think id rather have a good team

21. 2 losses out of 3 by cards

22. Andra got a wicked knuckle curve
