I love a good pitcher's duel. But I hate boneheaded managing.

Yes, at what point do they jettison Roycroft? Pathetic... figure it out in Memphis, not in the big leagues.
It wasn't Roycroft's fault that Pop Warner sent home Siani. It wasn't Roycroft's fault that Arenado took an out at 3rd base. It should have never come down to Roycroft trying to extend the game.

especially Contreras IMO

he had SEVERAL chances to do damage
He is a problem. Maybe MO promised him he could hit second no matter what. He is a cancer at this point.

Did I blame Roycroft for any of that stuff? NO, but is Roycroft a Major League pitcher? Hail NO!!

Your plan is good. But you forgot Marmol needs to go as well. He would screw up being a hot dog vendor.

Marmol does not need to go to Memphis, he should go to Florida.

My bad, that is the lowest farm team we have now isn't it. Maybe he could help the Gulf Coast Cardinals later.

I'll say this. I've seen enough of Roycroft. How many blown games already have seen him at the center of it? It's early, so I understand it happening once. Maybe twice. But this seems more like a pattern than anything else. Let's see what someone else can do.

Roycroft flat out stinks.
But he is far from the biggest problem(s) for this team.
I love Cardinal baseball but watching this manager and 3B coach makes me not want to watch.
Actually glad they’re not playing tomorrow.
