  1. Houston has a historical connection to the Cardinals beyond the Astros. The Houston Buffs were St. Louis’ first minor league affiliate, which lasted from 1928-1961. The city also received Cardinal radio broadcasts from KMOX, maybe the first ever superstation. KMOX broadcast range made the Cardinals the team of the South, including Houston.

     

  2. Not being able to play Alvarez against the NL teams sucks.  Is he *that* bad at right field?  No offense to Reddick intended...

    He’s slow and not especially athletic. Plus St. Louis is a pretty big outfield. He’s playing Sunday with Miley on the mound because Wade is a ground ball pitcher and should limit chances. He’s pretty much a DH. So was Big Poppy. Thanks Bud!

  3. and flaherty is their "ace" even though he's been wildly inconsistent this season.

    Plus they’re a good team, been hot lately and are playing at home in front of the “ best fans in baseball” We’re doomed

  4. Go strong and put it out there for Syndergaard.  With what the Astros do for pitchers, the team control, and with Cole likely leaving after this season?  Have to do it.

    Miley is FA as well. Who knows what you’ll get with McCullers. Our 2020 payroll will limit who we can go after in the offseason. This is almost a do at any cost deal.
  5. I’d give up either Tucker or Whitley for Syndergaard. He’d solve a lot of questions for the future rotation as well. For relatively cheap, salary wise. Makes 6 million this year with 2 more arbitration years.

     

     

     

  6. Kemp doesn't solve anything with the 40 man. It's at 39 right now... He is being DFA'd for Correa who will take his spot because Correa was on the 60 day IL. 

    If I’m reading you post correctly, you’re wrong. White DFA took it to 39. Kemp DFA to 38. Correa activation back to 39.
  7. Wasn't the 40-man roster full following White's DFA and Diaz's activation? If so, optioning Straw would not have opened up a spot in the 40 man, and Correa would not be able to be activated. 

    No. Diaz never left the 40 man roster. Tomorrow we’ll be at 39, leaving a spot open for a trade addition.
