Arenado needs to deliver more power from the cleanup spot. The Cardinals haven't had the needed legitimate power-hitting cleanup hitter for a while. Arenado and Contreras don't appear to be that either this season.slimjay63801 wrote: ↑18 Apr 2025 11:55 amArenado? Seriously? Guy has played great baseball so far this year.

Re: I am ready for more Saggese at bats
Good point. Cards do need more power for sure but benching Nado or WillyCon isn't the answer. Anyways, I believe WillyCon will break out of his slump sooner than later.Shady wrote: ↑18 Apr 2025 11:58 amArenado needs to deliver more power from the cleanup spot.

Re: I am ready for more Saggese at bats
Well, you'll get your wish. If arenado is out, Saggese is probably in. Unless Mo decides something ignorant like bringing up Walker to play 3b.
Re: I am ready for more Saggese at bats
Looks like Saggese gets a start at 3B today. He needs a productive day at the plate.JuanAgosto wrote: ↑11 Jul 2025 23:29 pm Well, you'll get your wish. If arenado is out, Saggese is probably in. Unless Mo decides something ignorant like bringing up Walker to play 3b.

Re: I am ready for more Saggese at bats
Do you think Sagesse will hit 5 home runs today? Who do you think can do more pushups, Roby or Sagesse? …or Burly?Shady wrote: ↑12 Jul 2025 11:15 amLooks like Saggese gets a start at 3B today.

He had a key walk and a big hit. This guy has a career as their utility player.Shady wrote: ↑12 Jul 2025 13:47 pmWay to go Sags.

Re: I am ready for more Saggese at bats
I feel the Cardinals know they have a really good hitter, potentially, in Saggese. Kind of like they realized in Burleson. Personally, I'm looking forward to these hitters in the lineup, together, one of these days. Donovan, Herrera, Burleson, Saggese and Wetherholt.JuanAgosto wrote: ↑12 Jul 2025 18:18 pmHe had a key walk and a big hit.

Re: I am ready for more Saggese at bats
I am ready for winning baseball. If Thomas is a part of that, fine with me. I ain’t too cool for school.
