Call me crazy but it appears to me the only pitcher with an arm left

is McGreevy who wasn't pitching in St Louis all season. Primary focus during the offseason should be pitching. Starters, long relievers, middle relievers, late inning relievers.

I agree Cards are just four Starting pitchers a #1,#2,#3,#4 and four middle relievers and two late inning relievers, and five position players with two power bats away from being a real playoff threat. Oh and a couple bench players.

I don't know. He had 0 Ks his last start. He was lucky to only allow 1 run in 6 innings. A pitcher cannot count on that degree of batted ball luck for sustained success.

I know that was said tongue in cheek, but a lot of truth to it.

Yes but I have noticed given up on Libby and maybe Pallante. Long season for both. They will get

As long as you don't walk many or give up too many hits, you don't need the K. Cards have a decent defense...use them.

100%. It has been McGreevy/Gray starts that seem to be the only chance we have to win. After yesterday, perhaps its just McGreevy.

McFedde is nothing special. Back of the rotation starter at best...

You are correct. Need pitching. It's ugly

Libby
Gray
McFedde
Liam Doyle?
Leahy?

BINGO

Cards are 19-9 in Gray's starts

8-3 in McG's starts

or

27 - 12

+15 games over .500 w/those two on the mound!


10 - 17 in Pallante's starts :x :x :x

If you don’t strike guys out, you’re gonna give up too many hits.

Giving up hits isn't the end of the world. Mixing in walks with hits is where P's get into trouble. Sure the K is nice, but it isn't the end all-be all of pitching. Throw strikes and make teams get 3 hits in an inning to score a run.
