This team is baffling
Get shutout in Colorado losing 2 of 3 to one of the worst teams in the history of baseball. Then take the first 2 from San Diego with a shutout win in game 2.

Re: This team is baffling
Nothing new here. Team, like many, simply plays to the level of its competition. The biggest difference in winning and losing. Hence strategy and clubhouse leadership. Winning is an attitude.moose-and-squirrel wrote: ↑26 Jul 2025 08:08 amyup.. this is what this team has been all season.. inconsistentScotchMIrish wrote: ↑26 Jul 2025 07:35 am Get shutout in Colorado losing 2 of 3 to one of the worst teams in the history of baseball.

Just hope this series doesn't deter Mo from doing what he has to do, deal Helsley-Maton-Matz and ????.

1.5 games out of the wild card with 5 days left to make trades. I don't see a big sell off.rockondlouie wrote: ↑26 Jul 2025 08:18 am Just hope this series doesn't deter Mo from doing what he has to do, deal Helsley-Maton-Matz and ????.

Helsley is a huge asset who brings back quality, he has to be dealt.
While not as valuable, Maton still has solid value.
Matz, meh a lotto pick but still needs to go.

Helsley has to go, Mo can't screw up again (re: not dealing Fedde this offseason).
Maton should fetch a solid return, he goes too unless C. Bloom wants to keep him.
Matz, meh
Most likely won't see a BIG trade (re: Gorman or Donny or Noot) but he has to deal those three.

I won't disagree, but IF the Cards do sweep the Padres ......................... it does give me some pause.rockondlouie wrote: ↑26 Jul 2025 08:31 amI do JDWJDW wrote: ↑26 Jul 2025 08:27 amIF the Cards end up sweeping the Padres (pause for laughter) ................... do you still feel this way?rockondlouie wrote: ↑26 Jul 2025 08:18 am Just hope this series doesn't deter Mo from doing what he has to do, deal Helsley-Maton-Matz and ????.

Unfortunately there's no Albert-Holliday-Berkman-Freese-Yadi in this lineup, certainly no C. Carpenter monster leading the rotation.
I'd love to see them do it (of course).
But the right move this season is to deal those three expiring contracts they've shown no interest in retaining while giving Bloom more minor league assets when he starts the 2026 re-build.

Re: This team is baffling
It really isn't baffling. The Pirates just swept the Tigers. In a 162 game season there will be wins against better teams and loses versus inferior teams. Everything plays out in the end . None of that takes away the fact this team isn't very good .ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑26 Jul 2025 07:35 am Get shutout in Colorado losing 2 of 3 to one of the worst teams in the history of baseball.

Re: This team is baffling
We find out on Thursday. If Mozeliak and Bloom think they have adequate replacements perhaps there will be movement.rockondlouie wrote: ↑26 Jul 2025 08:34 amBig mistake if that happens SM.ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑26 Jul 2025 08:28 am1.5 games out of the wild card with 5 days left to make trades.

It was not only the first shutout of the season for the 26-76 Rockies, but Colorado ended a span of 220 consecutive games without a shutout, a record in the Modern Era.
