Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: At long last. Welcome back, Bernie, and welcome you all
- 0:08Speaker 1: to Cardinal's territory. It's been a week since we've done
- 0:11Speaker 1: an episode together, but it feels like so much longer.
- 0:14Speaker 1: We'll get to that Rockies recap. So much to talk about.
- 0:18Speaker 2: First, I got to say this, Yeah, I thought you
- 0:21Speaker 2: had you were like ready to like designate me for
- 0:23Speaker 2: assignment or something.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Just to designate myself for assignment.
- 0:27Speaker 2: That's what happened, all right. I had to get that in. OK.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Good to see you, Good to work with you again.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Yeah, so much to talk about after the latest Cardinals series. Look,
- 0:37Speaker 1: they were riding a high. They won two of three
- 0:39Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, came back big series, went over the
- 0:42Speaker 1: Cubs over yachty weekend, and they promptly get rocks by Colorado.
- 0:46Speaker 1: They dropped the series to the Rockies again for the
- 0:49Speaker 1: second time, to arguably what could be one of the
- 0:52Speaker 1: most historically bad baseball teams ever. And it just takes
- 0:56Speaker 1: it just took all the excitement right out of their sales.
- 1:00Speaker 1: And the worst part about this one, the six' five
- 1:02Speaker 1: loss to The. Rockies are recording This, Wednesday august, thirteenth
- 1:05Speaker 1: WAS i don't think The cardinals could have done anything
- 1:08Speaker 1: better from a strategy standpoint to ensure a better. Outcome
- 1:12Speaker 1: Alli Marvel gott McGreevy out at the right. Time he
- 1:14Speaker 1: was cruising through. Six the swings were a little better
- 1:17Speaker 1: the second time, through so you don't really want to
- 1:18Speaker 1: see him go a third time. Through and then you
- 1:21Speaker 1: have your most high leverage relievers rested and ready to.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Go you know you're gonna Have lady for. One O'Brien
- 1:26Speaker 1: And romero haven't pitched Since, sunday so you can use them.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Accordingly you Get Jojo romero in the ninth knowing that
- 1:31Speaker 1: The rockies are going to turn over their bench and
- 1:33Speaker 1: put the writings. In there's nothing you can do about
- 1:35Speaker 1: it because of how the bullpen set. Up Jojo romero
- 1:37Speaker 1: has been. Nails what. Happens he gives a pinch hit
- 1:40Speaker 1: home run To Undo, goodman the first home run he's
- 1:42Speaker 1: surrendered Since april twenty, first and The cardinals lose six to,
- 1:46Speaker 1: five a gup punch. Loss burning your, Thoughts, YEAH i.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Mean the bullpen is going to be a. Challenge we
- 1:51Speaker 2: all figured that would be the, case you, know when
- 1:54Speaker 2: they removed three of their best. Dudes, Obviously Hell's Lee
- 1:58Speaker 2: mayton and Mattch but the bullpen had done, really really.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Well but you, KNOW i think we all watched the
- 2:05Speaker 2: bullpen do very very well without their, three without their former.
- 2:09Speaker 2: Teammates BUT i think we all also kind of, figured
- 2:13Speaker 2: you know, This we've got to live in the real world.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Here you, know there's going to inevitably there's gonna be some.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Problems and this was just one of those days where
- 2:20Speaker 2: the bullpen just wasn't good and it cost them the.
- 2:23Speaker 2: GAME i felt. BAD i really did feel bad For Jojo.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Romero See i'm not just a mean guy all the.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Time he, said he's been so great for The cardinals
- 2:31Speaker 2: since Late. April it's just. Great and it was just
- 2:34Speaker 2: one of those. Days it happens to, relievers you. Know
- 2:38Speaker 2: hecketts happened To Ryan helsley as a met already a
- 2:40Speaker 2: couple of. Times so what are you gonna? Do But Katie,
- 2:44Speaker 2: man you, know The rockies had not had a shutout
- 2:50Speaker 2: if you go back into you, KNOW i think it
- 2:52Speaker 2: was Like may twenty fourth Or may fourteenth off something
- 2:55Speaker 2: like that of twenty twenty. Four so not only did
- 2:58Speaker 2: they beat The cardinals four, times but two of the
- 3:01Speaker 2: wins were. SHUTOUTS i, mean if they hadn't shut anyone
- 3:05Speaker 2: out until The cardinals came in against The. Cardinals, YEAH i,
- 3:09Speaker 2: mean it's just. Unbelievable and you, KNOW i was looking
- 3:11Speaker 2: this up to me, too just a very very brief
- 3:14Speaker 2: numbers nerd. Thing you, know The cardinals like the last two, days,
- 3:19Speaker 2: well in the in the in The i'm, sorry in
- 3:21Speaker 2: the two and four record against The. Rockies they only
- 3:24Speaker 2: managed to score eighteen runs and five of them came.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Today and The rockies this season right, now they're starting
- 3:32Speaker 2: their OVERALL era and they're starting pitching E ra would
- 3:35Speaker 2: be the worst in a season by a team since
- 3:38Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety Six Detroit, tigers who all who lost
- 3:41Speaker 2: like one hundred and three or four. Games so how
- 3:44Speaker 2: does this?
- 3:44Speaker 1: Happen it's so, frustrating AND i, think like you can
- 3:48Speaker 1: chalk it up to growing pains. Whatever we know what
- 3:52Speaker 1: the season's supposed to be as they transition to twenty
- 3:54Speaker 1: twenty six and. Beyond but it doesn't change the fact
- 3:56Speaker 1: that this team should have performed so much better against The.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Rockies and that was a sentiment inside the. Clubhouse you,
- 4:03Speaker 1: Know michael McGreevey hasn't been a major leaguer for that.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Long BUT i thought he was spot on with you
- 4:07Speaker 1: when he, said, like everyone's disappointed by. This we, asked you,
- 4:09Speaker 1: know is that the common sentiment in the, clubhouse and
- 4:11Speaker 1: he like looked at us if you were. Crazy he,
- 4:12Speaker 1: was of, course they know what this. IS i mean
- 4:15Speaker 1: The rockies have having won won forty. Games they Entered
- 4:18Speaker 1: tuesday's game fifty eight games under five hundred And Oli
- 4:21Speaker 1: marmo said On tuesday when The cardinals got shut, out
- 4:23Speaker 1: they had to have been much better than To Kyle,
- 4:25Speaker 1: freeland who was two and twelve coming into that, matchup
- 4:27Speaker 1: had nearway higher Than miles michaelis so disappointing it. Is,
- 4:31Speaker 1: yes they had a short, bench you know when they
- 4:33Speaker 1: were out without a New bar for a, game Without
- 4:35Speaker 1: contraraspur game Without donovan for, Aight inians for a. Game
- 4:38Speaker 1: those are three guys that are going to be instrumental
- 4:40Speaker 1: in this everyday success going. Forward but bottom line is
- 4:43Speaker 1: your next core has to figure out how to Hit rockies.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Pitching and what's more frustrating is that they played really
- 4:49Speaker 1: competitive ball against The dodgers and really strong baseball against
- 4:52Speaker 1: The cubs just to come out flat and again take
- 4:54Speaker 1: the wind out of their sales.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Here you. Know and, listener so we already talked about the,
- 4:58Speaker 2: bullpen and you, know obviously it's a very simple. Thing
- 5:02Speaker 2: if they get the three outs they, needed The cardinals.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Win BUT i don't want to let the offense off
- 5:05Speaker 2: the hook. Said they scored five runs in the first five.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Innings they did not score run the final four innings
- 5:11Speaker 2: against a wretched pitching staff and a wretched. Bullpen and
- 5:17Speaker 2: it isn't that they just got shut out over the
- 5:19Speaker 2: last four. INNINGS i, mean you've got to tack on
- 5:22Speaker 2: some runs against The. Rockies you just have. To they
- 5:25Speaker 2: were zero for twelve WITH i think four strikeouts maybe
- 5:29Speaker 2: five in the last four. INNINGS i, mean let's just
- 5:33Speaker 2: say the quality of the advats was pretty, bad you.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Know and it's just, like you, know to use The
- 5:42Speaker 2: tony larusa, thing you. KNOW i hope when The yankees
- 5:44Speaker 2: show up On, friday these guys are ready to play
- 5:47Speaker 2: a hard night, again because that was pretty. Bad just
- 5:50Speaker 2: the offense just completely shut down by A rockies. Bullpen
- 5:54Speaker 2: that's just. AWFUL i, mean The cardinals the last two
- 5:57Speaker 2: games which they, lost they didn't score a run against
- 6:00Speaker 2: The broncki's bullpen IN i think five and two thirds,
- 6:03Speaker 2: innings come, on that's, inexcusable, right, well. Stinks we'll talk
- 6:07Speaker 2: about that.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Later we, will we, will but it's, yeah, FANS i
- 6:12Speaker 1: hear your. Frustration it was not a good series that
- 6:14Speaker 1: has been backed up by the guys in the, clubhouse
- 6:17Speaker 1: just especially when you get another quality star By michael,
- 6:20Speaker 1: McGreevy who seems to be figuring things out as he,
- 6:23Speaker 1: gets you, know almost a month of consistent playing time
- 6:25Speaker 1: in the major league. ROTATION i liked what we saw
- 6:28Speaker 1: to McGreevy again to go out and cruise to the
- 6:30Speaker 1: first three and then, yeah he did get hit a
- 6:32Speaker 1: little bit harder during the, fourth, fifth and sixth. Innings
- 6:34Speaker 1: rocky scored one run in each of those. Frames but
- 6:37Speaker 1: you can play with fire when you have a pitch
- 6:39Speaker 1: to contact staff or a pitch to contact, guy and
- 6:41Speaker 1: that fire doubles when you have runners on. Right but
- 6:44Speaker 1: McGreevey doesn't, waiver he doesn't, scare and that's what makes
- 6:47Speaker 1: him a little different than the majority of the ground
- 6:49Speaker 1: ball pitchers that we've seen from The cardinals this, year
- 6:51Speaker 1: is because he trusted stuff and he knows he can
- 6:53Speaker 1: get out of, it and we saw. That, now would
- 6:55Speaker 1: he want a couple of those pitches? Back? Sure. Absolutely
- 6:58Speaker 1: he actually wasn't super perturbed About mickey moniac home. Run
- 7:01Speaker 1: just wish that he went about it the sequencing a different,
- 7:03Speaker 1: way and that's something he's going to learn this early
- 7:05Speaker 1: in his. Career but for The cardinals to come out
- 7:08Speaker 1: and get a quality start from their picture and not
- 7:10Speaker 1: be able to back it, up knowing how often From
- 7:13Speaker 1: july first to now they were unable to get a
- 7:16Speaker 1: quality start and we're out of games by the third
- 7:18Speaker 1: or fourth inning because their starter of the day. Imploded
- 7:20Speaker 1: the elect an opportunity on the. Table momentum was really
- 7:24Speaker 1: high On, monday it's falling short. Again good an off
- 7:27Speaker 1: day recover and hope you can take advantage of a
- 7:29Speaker 1: Flailing yankee. Squad but, yeah this one Hurts perning.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Definitely you, know if they win the, Series i'm fine with.
- 7:33Speaker 2: THAT i, mean you, know sometimes it's easy to be
- 7:36Speaker 2: demanding and, say, oh you got to sweep this. Team
- 7:38Speaker 2: you never demand a. Sweep you just keep stacking series,
- 7:41Speaker 2: wins you, know and you got to win that. Game
- 7:44Speaker 2: maybe you have a five to three, Lead come, ON i,
- 7:46Speaker 2: mean that. Was was that the Worst i'm gonna ask,
- 7:48Speaker 2: You i'd defer to the. Expert was that the worst
- 7:51Speaker 2: loss of their? Season i'm thinking it. Was it felt like.
- 7:56Speaker 1: It it felt like just because of what they were
- 7:58Speaker 1: able to do after the trade. Deadline we all thought
- 8:00Speaker 1: coming after the deadline that The, cardinals you, know they
- 8:02Speaker 1: traded away their top three. Relievers the sentiment, is let's
- 8:04Speaker 1: focus on the. Future that's the messaging from the. Organization
- 8:08Speaker 1: and you had a lot of players stuff, up specifically
- 8:10Speaker 1: in that. Bullpen so to come out and not take
- 8:13Speaker 1: advantage of a very feeble, opponent that. Sucks plan, simple
- 8:19Speaker 1: that's not. FUN i.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Think, yeah we've seen a couple of things go down
- 8:25Speaker 2: in the last week or. So, YEAH i think last
- 8:28Speaker 2: week or. So, ANYWAY i think this defines kind of
- 8:34Speaker 2: this wacky, nature unpredictable, nature topsy turvy, nature tilt the
- 8:38Speaker 2: world nature of The. Cardinals you win the season series
- 8:43Speaker 2: from The dodgers and you lose the season series to The.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Rockies make it makes.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Sense that's the twenty twenty Five cardinals right. There huh very.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Much we talked about their roller coaster. Season we're still on.
- 8:54Speaker 1: It and.
- 8:57Speaker 2: You, know in CASH i don't even know what else to.
- 9:00Speaker 2: ADD i Guess i'll just leave it at. That but
- 9:02Speaker 2: but we've seen this from this team all, year where you, know,
- 9:07Speaker 2: gosh they get off to a terrible start and they
- 9:09Speaker 2: catch fire and they're the best team in baseball In,
- 9:11Speaker 2: may and then they start to fall, apart and then
- 9:14Speaker 2: they're awful From june thirtieth up until. Recently we counted
- 9:19Speaker 2: them out once or. Twice then we counted them out
- 9:22Speaker 2: for sure after the, deadline and then they rally from.
- 9:24Speaker 2: That at one point before when they Beat colorado the other,
- 9:27Speaker 2: night they The cardinals were, like had won five out of.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Seven so now we're all looking at the playoff odds
- 9:34Speaker 2: and we're looking at the, schedule and we're, thinking, well
- 9:36Speaker 2: it's a long, shot but that's kind of. Interesting Maybe
- 9:40Speaker 2: and now you, know then just when you think you
- 9:42Speaker 2: figured them, out which is stupid because we can't really
- 9:44Speaker 2: figure them out because they're so, inconsistent then this they
- 9:49Speaker 2: lay eggs on consecutive days against the worst, team not
- 9:53Speaker 2: only this. Year maybe it'll go down as the worst
- 9:54Speaker 2: team in the history of the.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Game it's not what you. Want but don't, worry, GUYS
- 9:58Speaker 1: i promised this episode is not going to be just

- 11:12Speaker 1: Promos all, Right so topic that's going to come up
- 11:16Speaker 1: In cardinal's, land regardless of windsor, losses is what to
- 11:19Speaker 1: do About Matthew Libertore for the remainder of the, Season
- 11:22Speaker 1: libby was not able to recording out in the fifth. Inning,
- 11:24Speaker 1: yesterday he threw three innings a perfect ball to start
- 11:27Speaker 1: his start On. Tuesday the blow started to dip a
- 11:30Speaker 1: little bit in the, fourth but it was manageable and
- 11:32Speaker 1: then really had a nozable drop off in the, fifth
- 11:34Speaker 1: and that's Where Ali marmel said we've seen enough and
- 11:37Speaker 1: pulled them with two runners on there sustaining below as
- 11:40Speaker 1: we know has been a big thing For libby coming
- 11:41Speaker 1: out of the second. Half it's why The cardinals skipped
- 11:44Speaker 1: his first start comming out of The All star, break
- 11:46Speaker 1: and since, Then libby has not really been able to
- 11:48Speaker 1: sustain much of. That his stuff has followed his command his.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Velocity he has not recorded more than five innings since
- 11:56Speaker 1: The All star. Break we Knew libby was it going
- 11:58Speaker 1: to be reaching his career innings at some point in
- 12:01Speaker 1: the second. Half The cardinals were where this could be a.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Problem he will make his next, start but If Maggie
- 12:06Speaker 1: libertore continues to, falter his health and his longevity next
- 12:10Speaker 1: season is much more important than how The cardinals figure
- 12:13Speaker 1: how to finished this. Year the, problem, Though, bernie as we,
- 12:15Speaker 1: know as we've talked about all season, long The cardinals
- 12:18Speaker 1: don't really have much in terms of depth to alleviate this.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Problem they could turn to a piggyback role with Both
- 12:23Speaker 1: Kyle lahy And Matt swhonson stretch out for, length but
- 12:26Speaker 1: it is certainly not. Ideal, bernie what is your concern
- 12:29Speaker 1: level About libby's below.
- 12:30Speaker 2: Issues, YEAH i guess it's moderate from the. STANDPOINT i
- 12:34Speaker 2: think they'll handle this. PROPERLY i don't think they're going
- 12:37Speaker 2: to you, know push it or force the. Issue they've
- 12:39Speaker 2: already shown their back and. Off but but you know,
- 12:43Speaker 2: WHERE i guess where is the line of demarcation on.
- 12:46Speaker 2: That in other, words there's a does it will there
- 12:51Speaker 2: come a point sorry where they just look at this and,
- 12:53Speaker 2: say you know, what just to be, safe we had
- 12:56Speaker 2: to shut him down for the rest of the. Season you,
- 12:57Speaker 2: KNOW i think that should be a consideration because because sometimes,
- 13:01Speaker 2: listen we know that the basic reason that we all jump,
- 13:05Speaker 2: on which is you, know, fine is, well he hasn't
- 13:08Speaker 2: been a starting pitcher in the majors, before and he you,
- 13:11Speaker 2: know he has Not he's not used to this innings.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Load and you, know in his first ten starts of
- 13:17Speaker 2: the season he basically averaged six innings per, start which
- 13:21Speaker 2: you know He so they wrote him pretty, hard And
- 13:23Speaker 2: i'm not ripping them or, Criticized i'm just saying they.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Did that's a, fact the average five point nine innings
- 13:29Speaker 2: for his first ten starts and then kind of hit the,
- 13:32Speaker 2: wall bounce back a little, bit hit the wall. Again
- 13:34Speaker 2: SO i he's a he's a precious talent that has
- 13:38Speaker 2: a chance to be really outstanding in a really important
- 13:41Speaker 2: memory of your rotation for years to. Come so if
- 13:44Speaker 2: there's any doubt, whatsoever don't don't force, it you, know
- 13:47Speaker 2: shut him down if you feel you have. To and
- 13:50Speaker 2: AND i hope AND i trust that The cardinals are
- 13:54Speaker 2: also going to kind of look at his off season
- 13:56Speaker 2: and maybe come up with some ways that will help.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Him he works, hard and he cares, deeply but maybe
- 14:03Speaker 2: there's something to do with his preparation in the off
- 14:06Speaker 2: season that can gird him better for you, know being
- 14:10Speaker 2: a major league starting pitcher for thirty thirty three games
- 14:13Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. SIX i think they have to look
- 14:16Speaker 2: at all of, That BUT i JUST i WOULD i
- 14:19Speaker 2: think that everything can turn out just. Fine BUT i
- 14:22Speaker 2: hope that they're really careful with what they do here
- 14:25Speaker 2: the remainder of the, season and to.
- 14:27Speaker 1: Their, credit they have. Been they have been so careful
- 14:30Speaker 1: about pitching. Injuries and while a little bit of luck
- 14:33Speaker 1: is involved in, that you can't control many of these extra.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Circumstances they have been since day one so cognizant about
- 14:39Speaker 1: how they're using pitchers the overall, innings how they're taking
- 14:43Speaker 1: care of guys on the off. Days we know about
- 14:44Speaker 1: that six man or six days of rest formula that
- 14:47Speaker 1: they had for most of the first. Half i've said it,
- 14:50Speaker 1: Before i've said it all season. Long i'm not changing
- 14:51Speaker 1: my mind on. This they did, absolutely one hundred percent
- 14:54Speaker 1: the right thing With Matthew libertor this. Year, Sure, no
- 14:57Speaker 1: we've gone back and. Forth you needed to know what
- 14:59Speaker 1: he was as a starter because starting pitching is so
- 15:02Speaker 1: thin in this, organization and he has the makeup to do.
- 15:05Speaker 1: It he's proved, it he's shown. It now it's about sustaining.
- 15:08Speaker 1: It but if it in any means it's going to
- 15:09Speaker 1: impact his health or his availability next, year you don't risk.
- 15:12Speaker 1: It because he's shown The cardinals what they need to
- 15:14Speaker 1: see and that's someone that you can build around for
- 15:17Speaker 1: next year in twenty, seven. Etc SO i am With.
- 15:21Speaker 1: JOURNEY i. AGREE i don't like it For libby BECAUSE
- 15:24Speaker 1: i think he has such still such untapped, potential AND
- 15:26Speaker 1: i look forward To libby. Starts he's worked, really really
- 15:29Speaker 1: hard and to hear how open he was about his
- 15:31Speaker 1: struggles On, tuesday about how this is not the picture
- 15:34Speaker 1: he wants to, be how he doesn't know what's going.
- 15:36Speaker 1: On it's a frustrating, challenge but he's determined to fix.
- 15:38Speaker 1: IT i believe he, will uh And i'm glad The
- 15:41Speaker 1: cardinals are giving him at least one more start to
- 15:43Speaker 1: try to adjust this on the. Fly at this point
- 15:45Speaker 1: what you have to. Lose but the second That libby
- 15:47Speaker 1: is unable in a noticeable way for a prolonged amount of.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Time and at this point we're getting there and the
- 15:52Speaker 1: stuff isn't, holding the bilo isn't, holding and the command isn't.
- 15:54Speaker 1: Going you need to make the best decision for his.
- 15:56Speaker 1: Future AND i think The cardinals will.
- 15:58Speaker 2: Do, That AND i don't want to overreact to the
- 16:00Speaker 2: loss of. Velocity and you pointed something. Else it's it's
- 16:03Speaker 2: also very much about his loss of. Command it isn't
- 16:06Speaker 2: just a. Velo but it's like if you look at
- 16:09Speaker 2: his first ten, starts like his walk rate was one
- 16:11Speaker 2: of the lost by a starting pitcher in the. MAJORS
- 16:13Speaker 2: i mean it was like pinpoint. Control it was really
- 16:16Speaker 2: a beautiful thing to. Watch BUT i think we're also
- 16:20Speaker 2: used to, these you, know, terrible terrible pitching, injuries just
- 16:25Speaker 2: the way the industry is with everyone of the high
- 16:28Speaker 2: velo and everything. ELSE i, mean starting, pitchers especially breaking
- 16:31Speaker 2: down all the. Time And i'm not saying that this
- 16:34Speaker 2: is always the. Case obviously it's. Not but you, KNOW
- 16:38Speaker 2: i think a guy's in the, past you, know the
- 16:41Speaker 2: velocities dropped and the commands really, suffering and you, know
- 16:47Speaker 2: the next, thing you, know you get you, know your,
- 16:49Speaker 2: starter it's, like, well they're gonna look at. Him he
- 16:52Speaker 2: might you, know he might have a flexer strain or,
- 16:55Speaker 2: something and then that leads to an elbow an elbow,
- 16:58Speaker 2: problem and it just it's just kind of mushrooms from.
- 17:01Speaker 2: THERE i, mean that's what happened With Corbyn. Burns you,
- 17:03Speaker 2: know he was losing V lo last year In Baltimore arizona.
- 17:07Speaker 2: SIGNS i, mean he was losing more V low early
- 17:10Speaker 2: this season before he finally had to come To Tommy john.
- 17:13Speaker 2: SURGERY i, mean the losing vloa, thing you, know for
- 17:17Speaker 2: a pitcher who was otherwise in great, shape who was trained,
- 17:21Speaker 2: properly is ultra. Competitive when all of a sudden the
- 17:25Speaker 2: v low, tanks that's a red flag and The cardinals know,
- 17:30Speaker 2: that which is why they're backing. Off you.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Know, yeah. Agreed, now the second tier to this problem
- 17:35Speaker 1: is if The cardinals decide to Taper livvy, back that's.
- 17:39Speaker 1: Fine you can Have Kyle lahey. PIGGYBACK i believe That
- 17:42Speaker 1: kyle Lay heat will actually be when pitching the catch
- 17:45Speaker 1: to report next year be reporting as a. Starter Matt
- 17:47Speaker 1: sjohnson talk about a guy that's really, thrived And i'll
- 17:50Speaker 1: dive more into this WHEN i have more, Information but
- 17:52Speaker 1: this is just initial stuff that was brought me over this.
- 17:54Speaker 1: Series if you want to look at how The cardinals
- 17:56Speaker 1: new pitching development system is working in the minor, leagues
- 18:00Speaker 1: look at What Matt spohson's been able to do since
- 18:02Speaker 1: being called up in the first week Of. July this
- 18:05Speaker 1: is what we can get excited. About So i'm excited
- 18:07Speaker 1: to dive a little bit more into. That but the
- 18:08Speaker 1: stuff from sponson the, effectiveness the changes that he made
- 18:11Speaker 1: from a mechanic standpoint command and overall. Usage this is
- 18:15Speaker 1: what The cardinals are working down In TRIPLE A DOUBLE
- 18:17Speaker 1: a with new director of Pitching matt pierpont Rob'sor Folioheim.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Bloom they're all over. This Matt swohnson is a very
- 18:23Speaker 1: early sample size on what you can see for those new.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Changes so that is. Exciting there is your positive note
- 18:27Speaker 1: of the podcast of the. Day they can. Piggyback it's
- 18:31Speaker 1: going to make this already complicated bullpen even more complicated to.
- 18:35Speaker 1: Navigate and, HONESTLY i Think Allie marmel And Dusty blake
- 18:38Speaker 1: have done a really good job given what they. Have
- 18:40Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of depth. Options you Have
- 18:43Speaker 1: Aaron wilkerson And Curtis taylor to depth right handers that
- 18:47Speaker 1: aren't necessarily a part of the, future but have been
- 18:49Speaker 1: at least capable of throwing innings In, memphis so they
- 18:52Speaker 1: could come up and spots. Start none of this is,
- 18:54Speaker 1: ideal and it further emphasizes The cardinals need to get
- 18:57Speaker 1: back on pitching development and really both their mind like
- 19:00Speaker 1: system with, arms because they are severely lacking and this
- 19:03Speaker 1: problem that they've created is again because of their own
- 19:07Speaker 1: unavailability with players in their.
- 19:08Speaker 2: System what are the odds that the card has given the,
- 19:12Speaker 2: FACT i, mean his last two starts in particular have been.
- 19:15Speaker 2: Fantastic i'm talking About Quinn, matthews what are the odds
- 19:19Speaker 2: that They i'm not saying you call him Up august,
- 19:22Speaker 2: fifteenth it's like the first day you can and where
- 19:25Speaker 2: he can still maintain his rookie eligibility next. Season But
- 19:29Speaker 2: i'm talking maybe the end Of august do you give
- 19:32Speaker 2: him a couple of starts and do you do you
- 19:34Speaker 2: handle him with? Care you know you almost have an opener.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Situation you let, them you, know you let them pitch two,
- 19:40Speaker 2: winnings maybe then start turning into a bullpend. Game do
- 19:43Speaker 2: you get a look at? Him do you let him
- 19:45Speaker 2: get acclimated to the? Majors would that expedite his development
- 19:49Speaker 2: to the from the standpoint that he'll have a feel for,
- 19:52Speaker 2: it he'll experience, it and then it makes, them puts
- 19:56Speaker 2: them in a spot where he's he knows what to
- 19:59Speaker 2: expect and have a better feel for pitching the major
- 20:01Speaker 2: leagues when he goes to spring? Training is have you
- 20:05Speaker 2: have you heard anything that tells you one way or the,
- 20:07Speaker 2: other either yay or nay on the idea of bringing
- 20:10Speaker 2: him up and Not brian, Died i'm not pushing, him
- 20:13Speaker 2: just just letting him pitch a little.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Bit we're talking About, matthews, right you cut out for a.
- 20:16Speaker 1: Second right when he said the, NAME i was, like,
- 20:18Speaker 1: oh but, yes, OKAY i Figured. SUTHEW i can see both.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Sides i've said on the show. Before you don't call
- 20:25Speaker 1: a top pitching prospect up based on. Team need you
- 20:28Speaker 1: call him up based on player, performance And Quinn matthews
- 20:31Speaker 1: has done a lot better as of, late BUT i
- 20:33Speaker 1: think there are still some things to find. Too John
- 20:35Speaker 1: mozelac went on one on ONE Espn The on The Morning,
- 20:39Speaker 1: show and it gave a pretty good interview to those,
- 20:40Speaker 1: guys The tim mc kernan out, there and also pointed
- 20:43Speaker 1: out this WHICH i didn't really. Consider this is not
- 20:45Speaker 1: a protection year For Quinn. Matthews he doesn't need to
- 20:47Speaker 1: be added to the forty man. Roster they don't need
- 20:49Speaker 1: to make those kinds of changes, yet and if they,
- 20:51Speaker 1: do that's probably not a mode, decision that's a High blom.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Decision SO i don't see The cardinals really rushing Up Quinn,
- 20:57Speaker 1: matthews knowing how important it is for them to get
- 20:59Speaker 1: their very limited TRIPLE a arms right for twenty twenty
- 21:03Speaker 1: six and then burning your protection on the forty man.
- 21:06Speaker 1: ROSTER i don't think that makes a lot of sense
- 21:08Speaker 1: for them to do right.
- 21:09Speaker 2: Now.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Now If Quinn matthews absolutely shoves for the next three
- 21:12Speaker 1: four weeks and as worthy of A september roster expansion call,
- 21:15Speaker 1: up maybe we're having a different. Conversation but with pitching,
- 21:18Speaker 1: specifically it is so much better overall for everyone to
- 21:23Speaker 1: wait to call them, up maybe even wait a little too,
- 21:25Speaker 1: late than to bring them up too, early as we've
- 21:26Speaker 1: seen so many times here in Sy. LEWIS i.
- 21:28Speaker 2: AGREE i agree with you on, principle AND i don't
- 21:31Speaker 2: know if the same thing applies to a guy LIKE Jj.
- 21:33Speaker 2: WEATHERHOLD i know there's a lot a lot of consternation
- 21:35Speaker 2: about the forty men. ROSTER i just happen to. BELIEVE i,
- 21:40Speaker 2: mean these dudes a natural born. Hitter AND i also
- 21:44Speaker 2: think The, cardinals you, know at least want to try
- 21:46Speaker 2: to sell some tickets for twenty twenty, Six i'd. Hope, so,
- 21:50Speaker 2: yeah if you give the, people you, know a sneak
- 21:53Speaker 2: preview of coming, attractions because you know they're going to
- 21:56Speaker 2: market the heck out OF Jj weatherhold all off, season well, yeah,
- 22:01Speaker 2: right so you gotta you got to bring them, up
- 22:03Speaker 2: give the people what they want to. See you, know
- 22:05Speaker 2: you want to you want to cause some or stimulate some.
- 22:08Speaker 2: EXCITEMENT i think a look see WITH jj would would.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Help but, uh anyway THAT i wanted to throw that
- 22:14Speaker 2: in Because matthews AND jj are kind of in the
- 22:16Speaker 2: same situation as far as they're unbelievable upside in terms
- 22:22Speaker 2: of their potential for the major.
- 22:24Speaker 1: Leagues And JJ's been. Swinging it was just named The
- 22:26Speaker 1: Cardinals Minor league player of The month For. July has
- 22:29Speaker 1: six lead off homers From memphis AND i think he's
- 22:31Speaker 1: played there for not even a month, yet so it's.
- 22:33Speaker 1: Exciting i'm all in the JJ w the whole, train,
- 22:35Speaker 1: absolutely BUT i don't think The cardinals are in any rush,
- 22:38Speaker 1: too because if you look at their current roster right,
- 22:40Speaker 1: now where would you even play? Him? Bertie, oh we.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Don't we have a roster revendency problem here In Saint.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Louis never heard that.
- 22:46Speaker 2: Before, yeah, yeah, boy why do you have to bring that? Up?
- 22:52Speaker 1: Sorry maybe, okay, commercial we'll calm.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Down, NO i, Mean i'm, kidding of, course but, yeah
- 22:58Speaker 2: it's it's the headache that never. Ends in, fact you
- 23:02Speaker 2: brought it, up and like on the other side of my,
- 23:04Speaker 2: LAPTOP i have some, LEAVE i might have to reach

- 24:42Speaker 2: Got you, know we were talking About Heim bloom and
- 24:46Speaker 2: he's going to have a crucial off season coming, up
- 24:49Speaker 2: and obviously we all have to kind of adjust our
- 24:54Speaker 2: expectations because this isn't going to be you, know, well Mister,
- 24:58Speaker 2: DeWitt CAN i have this one to sign this free?
- 25:00Speaker 2: Agent AND i want to sign that free, agent AND
- 25:02Speaker 2: i want to sign this free. Agent it's it's not
- 25:05Speaker 2: that off. Season they're starting the rebuild in. Earnest i'm
- 25:07Speaker 2: not talking about a tear, down but they're starting their
- 25:12Speaker 2: Their they've already started it really Today this year is
- 25:16Speaker 2: the first, step but it really moves into overdrive With Heim.
- 25:19Speaker 2: Bloom and you, Know i've used this cliche on a
- 25:22Speaker 2: couple of other media appearances and even my own column
- 25:25Speaker 2: So i'm sorry to use it, again but you, KNOW
- 25:27Speaker 2: i like to, barbecue and you, know for a while
- 25:31Speaker 2: THERE i was getting really. Fancy and you, know when
- 25:34Speaker 2: you put a brisket, on or you put a pork
- 25:36Speaker 2: butt on or, whatever you, know the way to do
- 25:38Speaker 2: it low and, slow low and, slow don't rush, it
- 25:41Speaker 2: don't turn the temperature up too. High low and, slow
- 25:45Speaker 2: and that's how you come up with the perfect brisket
- 25:47Speaker 2: or pork. Butt, right how do you like?
- 25:49Speaker 1: That that's really?
- 25:50Speaker 2: GOOD i know right, well this is going to be
- 25:53Speaker 2: low and, slow And cardinals fans are gonna have to
- 25:56Speaker 2: get used to. It i'm not saying they have to like.
- 25:57Speaker 2: It but they hired build A wood hired And John
- 26:00Speaker 2: mosaic Hired Heine bloom for a reason because he had a.
- 26:04Speaker 2: Plan in, fact The deuits were blown away when you,
- 26:08Speaker 2: know it's part of before he got the. Job they
- 26:12Speaker 2: wanted him to present his. Plan and he made a
- 26:17Speaker 2: presentation that lasted over three, hours you, know and and
- 26:23Speaker 2: it's like like every detailed, COVERED i, mean step by
- 26:28Speaker 2: step by. Step so he's, listen this is an incredibly smart,
- 26:31Speaker 2: man And i'm going to trust what he thinks is
- 26:36Speaker 2: best because The cardinals need to get out of the.
- 26:38Speaker 2: Middle if it means a couple more years where it
- 26:41Speaker 2: might be a little, frustrating or they're going to take
- 26:43Speaker 2: a hit to tendance, wise, well they're not going to raise,
- 26:46Speaker 2: playrolls so they'll be able to least financially be, fine
- 26:49Speaker 2: or they're fine any way. Financially but the thing that's
- 26:53Speaker 2: on my mind, is you, know we know that there
- 26:57Speaker 2: will be, trades and we know that this offense has to,
- 27:00Speaker 2: change not only in just bottom line. Performance it's been
- 27:02Speaker 2: the worst offense in The majors statistically Since june. Thirtieth,
- 27:07Speaker 2: coincidentally that's when they open that series In pittsburgh and
- 27:10Speaker 2: got shut out three days in a. Row they've scored
- 27:12Speaker 2: the fewest runs per game any team in The majors since,
- 27:14Speaker 2: then starting, then and they're like twenty ninth and you,
- 27:18Speaker 2: know twenty ninth and slugging and twenty ninth in ops just.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Awful but it isn't just the bottom. Line it's also
- 27:24Speaker 2: going to be AND i want to get your opinion on,
- 27:26Speaker 2: this maybe this could be an upcoming segment next time we.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Meet but they have to ease the log. Dam they
- 27:33Speaker 2: have got to offload some left handed. Bats if Heim
- 27:36Speaker 2: bloom does, ANYTHING i hope that he lands a right
- 27:38Speaker 2: handed bat that can play in the. Outfield it could
- 27:41Speaker 2: be part of its. Trade but you know who's he
- 27:45Speaker 2: going to? Trade how aggressive will he? Be will he
- 27:47Speaker 2: move two of these left handed? Bats will he be somewhat?
- 27:52Speaker 2: Conservative or will he go into this thinking, no this
- 27:55Speaker 2: is the time to strike, now because IF i don't
- 27:58Speaker 2: move PLAYER A b see talking about left handed, bats
- 28:03Speaker 2: their value may continue to. Tank and so this will
- 28:06Speaker 2: be the time if there's interest in them in the
- 28:08Speaker 2: car and they claim that there was a lot of
- 28:10Speaker 2: interest them in them in the trade. Deadline so what's
- 28:13Speaker 2: Time bloom gonna. Do we know what his bottom line job,
- 28:15Speaker 2: is but what's he going to do in terms of
- 28:18Speaker 2: handling this specific off season in a way that also
- 28:22Speaker 2: attacks the very pressing problems that have bugged them all?
- 28:26Speaker 2: Year the overload of left handed, bats the positional log,
- 28:30Speaker 2: jams the lack of right handed, power you, know all
- 28:34Speaker 2: kinds of. Things how does he deal with that in
- 28:36Speaker 2: the near.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Future, well it's a two fold thing for. Me the
- 28:41Speaker 1: active roster needs to be addressed and the forty man
- 28:44Speaker 1: construction and operation and how The cardinals use that has
- 28:47Speaker 1: blown my mind and not in a good way for seasons,
- 28:50Speaker 1: now AND i think that's going to be obviously one
- 28:53Speaker 1: of the main prerogatives of the front office of Under
- 28:55Speaker 1: Hein bloom to come in and address you cannot play
- 28:57Speaker 1: the twenty twenty sixth season with the same rouss your
- 29:00Speaker 1: construction on your active roster as you do right, now
- 29:02Speaker 1: and you have to have better options on your forty
- 29:04Speaker 1: MAN i could spend thirty minutes talking about the forty man,
- 29:08Speaker 1: roster BUT i won't do. That and those things are
- 29:10Speaker 1: not going to be addressed in the course of two,
- 29:12Speaker 1: weeks Right that's going to take the entire, offseason if
- 29:14Speaker 1: not into spring training to solidify. That and it's probably
- 29:17Speaker 1: a twenty twenty six overall big picture as we sit
- 29:20Speaker 1: here before the twenty five season even. Ends that's something
- 29:24Speaker 1: that cannot be fixed in a. Month you, know that's
- 29:26Speaker 1: at least an off, season if not an entire season's
- 29:28Speaker 1: worth of roster. Maneuvers but the one thing that The
- 29:31Speaker 1: cardinal's new front office can, do whether It's heime And,
- 29:34Speaker 1: bloom whether It's Robs, orfolio whether It's Matt, pierpont whether
- 29:36Speaker 1: it's whoever the NEW gm is going to be is
- 29:39Speaker 1: nail the messaging and be transparent with. Fans fans do
- 29:42Speaker 1: not want to be gas lit. Anymore they've had. Enough
- 29:46Speaker 1: look at the. Stadium why do you think they're not showing?
- 29:48Speaker 1: Up AND i think this new front, OFFICE i think
- 29:50Speaker 1: every single one of these people understand, that AND i
- 29:52Speaker 1: think they know they have to nail the. Messaging we
- 29:54Speaker 1: haven't really heard much from. Them you, Know moe is
- 29:57Speaker 1: still in charge of the organization and still is handling
- 29:59Speaker 1: all of the media and all. That but behind the,
- 30:01Speaker 1: SCENES i think there's a real push for the New
- 30:04Speaker 1: wave to come in and be open with. Fans AND
- 30:06Speaker 1: i hope this is. TRUE i hope they are and, explain,
- 30:09Speaker 1: hey here's what's going on. Here because The cardinals tried
- 30:11Speaker 1: to do. That they they tried to be transparent In.
- 30:14Speaker 1: OCTOBER i didn't love the end of season press. Conference you,
- 30:17Speaker 1: know if that they, tried it wasn't. Good but they,
- 30:19Speaker 1: tried and then they went back on it and kind
- 30:21Speaker 1: of did a like this applies to half the, roster
- 30:23Speaker 1: but not the other. Half we're, competing but we're also.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Retuneling we're not gonna call it a, rebuil but everyone
- 30:28Speaker 1: knows it's a, rebuild and we have two front offices
- 30:30Speaker 1: at the same, time so go get. Them that only
- 30:32Speaker 1: muddied the message and they and their best attempts to
- 30:35Speaker 1: try to be, transparent so it didn't. Work this office
- 30:38Speaker 1: has to be a lot better than, that AND i
- 30:40Speaker 1: think they understand.
- 30:41Speaker 2: That, yeah And i'm not gonna whatch you, said because
- 30:44Speaker 2: you laid it out very very, well but to just you,
- 30:47Speaker 2: know put a point on. It i'm not Saying cardinals
- 30:51Speaker 2: fans are gonna like What Pine bloom has to say in.
- 30:54Speaker 2: Robesterfolio they probably won't like hearing the word. Rebuild but
- 30:59Speaker 2: you know, WHAT i Think cardinals fans are good, people
- 31:01Speaker 2: AND i think that they will appreciate the fact that
- 31:04Speaker 2: someone is being straight with them and there's no double,
- 31:07Speaker 2: talk there's no you, know making these declarations and then
- 31:14Speaker 2: taking them, back you, know and you're never really putting
- 31:16Speaker 2: them into. Play your fans want to be treated with.
- 31:20Speaker 2: Respect the first thing to do to get their trust
- 31:22Speaker 2: back is to treat them with respect and tell them the.
- 31:25Speaker 2: Truth even if the truth is not what they necessarily
- 31:28Speaker 2: want to. Hear they'll they'll respect respects you for respecting
- 31:32Speaker 2: them instead of trying to run a con you, know
- 31:36Speaker 2: or some kind of fast. Talking, well this is our,
- 31:38Speaker 2: plan which really isn't a. Plan SO i am glad
- 31:42Speaker 2: to hear, that And i'm not surprised to hear that
- 31:44Speaker 2: they're all on board with telling the truth and being
- 31:47Speaker 2: straight with. People that's the that's the, start and that's
- 31:50Speaker 2: the first indication that The cardinals really will have new
- 31:54Speaker 2: and better leadership running things from this point. On And jama's, like,
- 32:00Speaker 2: LISTEN i, WILL i will at the appropriate time coming up,
- 32:06Speaker 2: SOON i will write a tribute to him because of
- 32:09Speaker 2: the work that he did for so. Long he did
- 32:12Speaker 2: an excellent. Job but he's like a. Pitcher that. Happened

- 32:18Speaker 2: fastball right, well and he, YEAH i lost mine a
- 32:23Speaker 2: long time. Ago then he you, know he lost his,
- 32:25Speaker 2: fastball and then he was kind of like became a
