Dustin May since 4/10 (only removes his first 2 starts) 2.89 ERA 2.86 FIP 8.13 K/9 2.34 BB/9 0.41 HR/9 1.8 WAR That’s good for 8th best WAR for all of MLB pitchers during that time. #stlcards

The Good: #stlcards rank 6th in baseball in non-pitching fWAR. With an average position player age of 24-25 years old, that’s very good. The Bad: Cardinals rank 28th in pitching fWAR. The Ugly: Cardinals rank dead last in K/9 by a wide margin at 6.87.

In 12.1 IP Svanson and Roycroft have given up 20 runs. That is 28% of #stlcards total runs allowed while only pitching 10% of the total innings pitched by Cardinal pitchers.

Combine this with a 121 wRC despite him only slugging .361 at the moment. The slug will come with time given his track record. The sky is truly the limit for JJ Wetherholt. #stlcards

JJ Wetherholt is currently tied with Bobby Witt Jr. for the MLB lead with 3 Outs Above Average

For a team that is in the midst of a rebuild, can someone explain to me why #StlCards Pedro Pages is on the roster over Jimmy Crooks? Crooks is the number 8 prospect in Cardinals system and is 24 years old with lots of minor league success. Pedro Pages is 27.

Sonny Gray game score for today was a 96. That ranks #2 in #STLCards history for a 9 inning game. Who’s #1? Shelby Miller in 2013 when he had a 98 game score. His line: 9 IP, 1 H, 0 BB, 13 K

Does Oli Marmol hate using his best reliever in high leverage situations? Where is Ryan Helsley?

Miles Mikolas has thrown 81 pitches. He has 2 swings and misses. The writing is on the wall. It doesn’t take much to understand it’s probably best to give these opportunities to someone else. #stlcards

Saying this while deploying Pham as a fixture in your lineup makes no sense at all. #STLCards

#STLCards manager Oli Marmol on Jordan Walker being used primarily vs. just LHP: “The big-league team has a need, and it's a right-handed bat. So, that's the simplest way to look at it. It’s not May; it's the end of the year. You have limited amount of games left, … (1/3)

Friendly reminder that the Cardinals believe that Brandon Crawford is a better use of a roster spot than these 2. #ForTheLou #STLCards

Jordan Walker with a 3 run homer and a triple and Luken Baker hit his 31st homer of the year tonight at Memphis. #STLCards

If it feels like the Cardinals don’t throw anyone out, it’s because they don’t. #STLCards have thrown out 17 of 106 base stealers for a measly 14% entering today. That’s the worst in baseball. League average is 22%. #ForTheLou

Just a reminder that this Cardinal team struggles vs lefties with a .639 OPS (2nd worst in MLB). Meanwhile in AAA: Luken Baker vs LHP: 1.112 OPS Brandon Crawford offers the Cardinals what exactly off the bench? #stlcards

Shawn Armstrong in ‘23 was one of the best relievers in baseball and he’s been pretty bad in ‘24. Perhaps, the #stlcards see something they can help get him back his ‘23 form.

Siani vs LHP: 43 ABs .245 OPS -24 wRC At a certain point, it doesn’t matter how great the glove is, you can’t play him vs lefties.

A couple things right there that reflect so poorly on this team: 1) Siani over Carlson there, what does that tell you about how this team views Carlson? 2) No better bench options due to injuries/poor roster construction This team just can’t get out of its own way.

Nolan Arenado not only is below league average as a hitter, but -8 DRS defensively. He’s completely fallen off. He’s 33 years old, not 40. None of it makes any sense. #ForTheLou
