Relievers are interesting, aren’t they? Good year one year and bad year the next.
Only the elite are predictable

What you did last year for middle relievers is of no use
I wonder why there isn’t more year to year consistency.

I was just going to "sigh". But "barf" covers it.

Graceffo ought to be the bridge reliever if they were trying to win.
I like what we just saw from him, brings the heat.

But watch, Mo will send him down and bring back Fernandez. :oops:
this collection of reusable stiffs in the pen is attributable to MO --- don't ruin any of the young starters in the pen during a year when this team is going nowhere.. if you bring up Graceffo have him start and put Mikolaus in the pen and pitch him every day.
The state of this team is a tribute to John Mozeliak's incompetence. His foolish free agent signings could be why BDW has tightened the wallet. He went from bad signings to lazy signings to no signings. What a pathetic legacy to walk away from.
I’m getting the impression that you don’t care for our POBO.
He and the doofus in the dugout can go.

I think Graceffo's MLB future is in the pen' hawk, potential back end of it.

If they wanted to compete they would have added another quality bullpen arm in the off season.

Graceffo is the only one on the Memphis shuttle to throw some quality innings. If they wanted to compete, he'd be next man in the bullpen instead of just a double header backup pitcher.

But they don't really want to compete in 2025. But they didn't want to tank, trade off and rebuild in the off season. So what the hell are they doing? Here they are tanking. And without the chance at a top 6 draft pick in 2026.

MO's ridiculous one note samba on trading Arenado gave him excuse for doing nothing. He shouldn't even have a desk right now. Good riddance, Mo.

Perfect season to see what we have in pitching and yet we're bringing up non-MLBers. Let this team rot this season, clean house, come back with open arms next season, and by cleaning house I mean the manager, every coach, most of the relief core, most of the starters, and a good chunk of the starting 9 hitters. I want a early Whitey Herzog style cleaning house of the Cards...only way it'll work. Really is ALOT of garbage and settle on this team.
