This clock thing isn't a reason for concern anymore Edson.
You probably believe that it’s Mo’s decisionJuanAgosto wrote: ↑19 Aug 2025 23:00 pm Probably a night off. Johnny bow ties has basically said he's not coming up this season.
They waited on bringing up Winn and when they finally did, they controlled it so he didn’t lose his rookie status the next season. There is zero reason to call up JJ today and burn his rookie status. Just wait a few days.rockondlouie wrote: ↑20 Aug 2025 09:56 amHa!Lightning Rod wrote: ↑20 Aug 2025 09:42 amWasn't Church tearing up AAA ball?

Only an idiot like Mo would keep this kid on the farm.
I could care less if Sagesse doesn't get playing time, he's JAG.
In no way, shape or form does the 25 year old, 11th round selection Church equate to JJW, the #1 prospect in the system!
For the record I'm not a Church "guy", to me he's JAG only here due to VSII's injury.
The point in bringing JJW up now, like they did Winn, is to let him get a taste of MLB and prep him for 2026 by giving him a head start.
We're past that date STLCB, it was 8/15Stlcardsblues wrote: ↑20 Aug 2025 11:04 amThey waited on bringing up Winn and when they finally did, they controlled it so he didn’t lose his rookie status the next season.

There is also the 130 at bats thing. If you call him up 8/15 you are going to struggle to keep him under 130 at bats and have him play everyday. My comment was about both pieces.rockondlouie wrote: ↑20 Aug 2025 11:08 amWe're past that date STLCB, it was 8/15Stlcardsblues wrote: ↑20 Aug 2025 11:04 amThey waited on bringing up Winn and when they finally did, they controlled it so he didn’t lose his rookie status the next season.

So he gets 129 AB's (35 games remaining, he could easily play in 30 games).Stlcardsblues wrote: ↑20 Aug 2025 11:14 amThere is also the 130 at bats thing.

I am sure he just got the night off. As for him being promoted. Moz has declared there is zero reason to add him this season and I agree on this one. Let him finish his AAA stint and hit the AFL or some time off ready to make the team out of ST. They are clearly stating they are riding out the guys that are up top already. I feel the only reason Church got a look see is because they wanted to know how he would adapt before decisions are made in the off season. He proves himself it means he can be looked at as a 2026 possibility and one less area to worry about with him and Scott or to maybe move on from Scott. Who really knows. Either way JJ is done deal in Stl next year and no need to expose him at this time.rockondlouie wrote: ↑20 Aug 2025 11:19 amSo he gets 129 AB's (35 games remaining, he could easily play in 30 games).Stlcardsblues wrote: ↑20 Aug 2025 11:14 amThere is also the 130 at bats thing.

Winn got 122 AB's during his call up.
Yea I've read Mo's lame excuses too.StlMike1969 wrote: ↑20 Aug 2025 11:34 amI am sure he just got the night off. As for him being promoted.

How is he going to work on things in AAA when he's already tearing it up there? Seems more like whatever is getting him out in MLB doesn't exist in AAA.Clubmaker2 wrote: ↑20 Aug 2025 09:48 am Church ops over 900 but at least will know what mlb pitching looks like and what he needs to work on when back in AAA.

Wetherholt made his 4th error in his 27th AAA game while going 0-4.Carp4Cy wrote: ↑20 Aug 2025 20:49 pmHow is he going to work on things in AAA when he's already tearing it up there?
