Maybe Mo's a Genius After All?

[Absolut]

159 games to go Early season over reactions are in overdrive.

Watch- if they lose today, half these guys will be on here crying that the season’s over.

Mikolas for cy young if he looks good

lol yep. I’ve changed my prediction on the MVP. I’ve got Gorman winning it now.

That’s insane. Nootbaar in a landslide.

Was his vision of doing absolutely nothing in the offseason 10 steps ahead of all of us? Is he operating in 4 dimensions?

Hyper focusing on Nado tot he point of rumination only to keep him and not be able to move him had us all tricked. Pure sorcery

He had you tricked for sure

Actually he didn't, I stated Nado wasn't going anywhere I said it from day one. No reason to leave the Cardinals he has it made.

Your hyper focusing narrative is just pure speculation. I doubt that there's any truth to it.

Just started following the Cardinals?

P ss off. Keep up the good work

Houston was never on list and Moe kept pushing. Why? How about improving other elements of the team instead of trying to force someone into something they don't want to do?

No means no...

According to reporting by Katie Woo, Arenado had a shortlist of five teams he’d consider waiving his no-trade clause for: the Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, San Diego Padres, and Houston Astros.

Now here's some speculation for ya... I think Nado's wife vetoed the Houston trade.

When did that report come out relative to him formally rejecting the trade to the Stros? If in fact the Stros where one of his teams, which I don't personally believe, then why would he say no, unless like you said his wife came over the top.

It sounds more reasonable to me that they were never on list, but.... What's done is done. Personally I am glad he didn't get traded you wouldn't have gotten squat back for him anyway. I was on that "narrative" for months....

Well apparently, they were on his list.
Do you really think Mo would waste his time setting up a trade to a team Nado refused to go to?

Teams that weren't on the list could still propose a trade just to see if Nado would change his mind. No big deal.

It might turn out that one of those teams on the list should have paid most of Nado's salary if he has a great year with the Cardinals.

Yes I do. He tried it with Stanton back in 17, slightly different but was trying to obtain a player from the Marlins who had a NTC and stated he didn't want to go to Boston or St Louis when those talks heated up.

lol...ok
whatever you say

When you combine talent plus the right coaching, wonderful things can happen. I said earlier in the offseason that the most impactful move we might make this offseason was a new hitting coach like Brown. And sometimes it’s better to be patient and make no move than to make trades for the sake of making trades and make the wrong move.

Jon Jay may be helping too.

And Danny D. They are guys that know how to win with less than 5 tools.

It is the George Constanza theory of doing the opposite that is working. If signing Fowler, Leake, Holland, Cecil, etc., is wrong, doing the opposite, in doing nothing, has to be right.

I don’t know man. Gorman has a .750 average going. He has definitely figured it out. I can tell just by watching that 1 game.

However Gorman is on pace to play only 1/3 of the games.

Gorman has streaks of looking unstoppable.

[dhsux]

No offense but who in their right mind thinks 3 games of 162 provides a valid view of what lies ahead for this team?

Who doesn’t judge a NFL season by the first quarter of the first game?

hahaha

And that's still a long way from this evaluation.

[AnExParrot]

After starting out 15-24 last season they played at a 55% clip for 4.5 months. This may be a continuation.

Starting pitching looks like good.

They went 10 and 2 in a 12 game stretch and then put up the same win% they ended the season with for the remaining 4 months. You know that, but you still keep repeating that^. Disingenuous as always.

If it was his idea to start the season against the Twins and Angels Ill hand it to him, that was pretty smart.

The guy who was fired from a poorly hitting Mariners team?
