Yeah, but ball 4 to Contreras was a strike.

I see Oli is still allergic to pinch hitting Pages with Pozo

As evidenced by pages starting the majority of the games… Team is stacked with mlb ready quality catchers.slimjay63801 wrote: ↑24 Jul 2025 20:38 pmUmmm.

As much as I’d like to sneak into the post season I think I would rather miss the playoffs if it meant removing that P[ositively] O[bnoxious] S[impleton] we have as Manager.slimjay63801 wrote: ↑24 Jul 2025 20:35 pm (bleep). Oli is such a moron... Pages should've never taken that AB..

Sneak view of his iPad shows why he didn’t pinch hit.

Still an overpaid, unnecessary signing. That money could've gone to a starter and it should've. Like I said, he's not a bad ballplayer. Just wasn't a signing that we needed.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑24 Jul 2025 20:39 pmAnd he has a home run and 4 rbi in the gamestlboiler23 wrote: ↑24 Jul 2025 20:36 pmUmm… he’s been one of our best players and is new to playing 1B and has been one of the best defensive 1B in the league.

Is the system shy of good catchers? Also, is Contreras even a catcher anymore? As I stated earlier, not a good signing for catcher.Absolut wrote: ↑24 Jul 2025 20:39 pmAs evidenced by pages starting the majority of the games… Team is stacked with mlb ready quality catchers.slimjay63801 wrote: ↑24 Jul 2025 20:38 pmUmmm.

oh great. leadoff walk
Re: GDT : Cards vs. Padres (7/24) ~ 6:45pm CDT
O'Brien squeezed when HP Marquez calls ball 4 to Arrez. Was a perfect pitch, low inside corner... Shoulda been a K... Rookies don't get those calls very often though...

$17.5 million a year for 3.0 WAR per year isn’t something I’d call an overpay. He’s been solid for usslimjay63801 wrote: ↑24 Jul 2025 20:38 pmUmmm.

Good Lord! You have really low standards for offensive production. Other than RBI's? He's average at best. Like I said, I like the dude ok but it was an unnecessary signing. They paid too much. Money could've gone for a starter or a POWER BAT.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑24 Jul 2025 20:43 pmGood lord without his offense the cardinals would be a lot worse of a teamslimjay63801 wrote: ↑24 Jul 2025 20:41 pmStill an overpaid, unnecessary signing.
