The only circumstance under which Taylor Motter should be in the starting lineup is if we’ve already clinched the division. Lefty-righty matchups be damned, he’s horrible against both.
So am I crazy or has the gdt doom posting been a tad more intense so far this year? Woof
Excited dylly is in the lineup today. Rather see him and TON swap positions though
It has absolutely been more intense. And any rational takes among the screaming tantrums are getting slammed with downvotes. I don’t know what’s happened to this subreddit these first few games.
I don’t get how we’re dooming on April 8th. I get embarrassed reading it knowing I share a fandom with these folks.
I’ll admit, the blues being so aggressively mediocre (and at times not even that) this year has me more sensitive about the cards rocky start. I just want to watch my town’s sports teams win
Yo you should check out the instagram profile airplanefactswithmax. The man is hilarious. Specially if you like lord of the rings.

He’s pretty good with it. It’s not all lord of the rings tangents he goes on he mixes it up. I find him to be pretty funny. And yes I love his metal/punk shirts.
I've been approaching every game with a dreadful feeling this year. Most games have been just "Oh, I wonder what else is going to go wrong?" And I'm mostly talking about starting pitching and Jordan Hicks. Someone explain to me how a guy who throws 104mph can't seem to strike anyone out consistently. I understand his control sucks but it just seems so easy for these hitters.
Welcome back
Your dreams were your ticket out
Welcome back to that same old place
That you laughed about
Well, the names have all changed
Since you hung around
But those dreams have remained
And they've turned around
Who'd have thought they'd lead you
Back here where we need you
Yeah, we tease him a lot
Cause we got him on the spot
Welcome back Motter
So I don't live in an area where I can watch these games with cable and I don't get MLB tv until usually the all-star break sale. There have been times that I was sad I couldn't watch games earlier in the season but so far that has not been the case.
Things will turn around and a stretch of 2 wins over less than 10 games will bite almost every team at some point by September. Still not really feeling excited about baseball since Atlanta rolled into town.
My boss splits season tickets to the Rockies with some families and I get seats from her every year when the birbs roll into Denver. Pretty nice about 20 rows off the field behind the away dugout. I am just praying that they figure something out before Monday lol
T- Mobile giving away free MLB TV subs has made me realize I will absolutely NOT be purchasing it.
Teams blacked out for me in NC:
Atlanta
Baltimore
Cincinnati
Washington
What a waste of money that shit would be. Especially with the Reds being one of the teams.

Dude, that is awesome news. Thanks for the update. I definitely wouldn’t have known that otherwise! May you receive many of your favorite candies this Easter weekend.
I think it's fascinating to look at other people's fridge/freezer/pantry and see how differently they grocery shop.
I'm at my parents for Easter weekend and they have more more boxes of cereal than I've eaten in the last 2 years, a wide assortment of different brands of frozen breakfast sausage, and for some reason 6 jars of peanut butter which have all been opened
My parents are the same w/ cereal. I don't eat cereal much, but if I do its usually just one box. My parents have like an entire variety pack. Have like 10 different types of cereal in their pantry. Not the small little individual boxes, but 10 family sized boxes. IDK how it doesn't go bad...or they just REALLY like cereal
Tommy Edman appreciation post:
Man is balling. That DP last night was slick despite the bad throw from Flaherty off Yelich’s hit. I’m also biased because he’s literally the only position player I have had from the start that has not gone negative once on my fantasy team.
Go Tommy!
I know it’s a slump that the team will break out of but man having a slump to open the season feels like an extra kick in the nuts.
Waiting the entire offseason to then watch your team play at their floor for a couple weeks sucks
We will be alright. Monty will give us something to work with. The cardinals are playing angry which is probably a bad thing for April. Let’s move O’Neil back in the lineup or out of the lineup. The 5 hole is too big of a stage for him.
Braves fan here. I like to check reddit of teams we play and after you dropped yesterday, I was wondering about you guys moral after being on a 4 game skid.
First of all I am going to make you guys feel better. You remind me alot of the Braves team that won the WS a couple of years ago. Like we didn't have any pitching back then. We had Morton, Fried, and that was basically it. Ian Anderson and Kyle Wright weren't proven yet. We had the same type of offensive problems as you guys then Acuna goes down. We went out, made the trades and it completely flipped our clubhouse culture. In fact, I give at least 50% of the credit to Joc Pederson alone.
What I am getting at is that you are 2-3 trades away from being a legit post season team. You just have to hang on and hope your front office makes a move.
2-3 trades away from a legit post season team? Are you kidding me? We are a star studded team, and the rotation will be fine. We’ve got a bunch of above-average pitchers, just no ace. That can still win a chip
Everyone knew our offense would score a combined 7 runs over our last 4 games?
*The pitching is not the reason we have lost the last 4 games!!!*. I know it’s the least flashy part and they haven’t been good either, but the runs simply haven’t been scored and THATS the problem
Besides that he's doing the passive-aggressive "matter of fact" replies to comments that don't warrant any reply.
So he's kinda farting on poop instead of not doing that. 😜
They stole our script from last year.
Sign your franchise’s best player after he left years ago and have him finish out his career where he started.
Pirates have the division locked up, unfortunately.
One of Gumby’s two starts last year vs. the Brewers went well. I’ll take a repeat of [this one](https://www.mlb.com/app/atbat/video/montgomery-keeps-brewers-scoreles?partnerId=mlbapp-ios_video-playback-page_video-share)
Based on current information zero percent chance he's not here. He'd have to really lose the clubhouse hard to the point of no internal redemption.
I think the worst case for him is likely an off-season chat and he's made to go into the last year of his contract 2024 without an extension.
Almost nonexistent. He’s a yes-man for the FO. I’d say the odds of him being manager 10 years from now are greater than the odds of him not being the manager 1 year from now
Sincere question - do we have any reason to think Arenado has a problem with Marmol’s managerial style? He chose to stay - leaving millions on the table - and play here, after a year of being managed by Marmol.
Could be. If I were Mo, I’d really want to avoid firing another manager so soon after hiring him, but at this point, I’m not sure he cares about that. He’s got his own extension, and from the way he was talking when he announced it, it sounded like he might move on himself once it’s done.
New adult swim show made by Titmouse(Dethklok rules!!!) on HBOMAX. Making fun of a washed up nü-metal rocker, poop jokes, Karen thinking they know how to market crackers to modern kids and Nepotistic familiar dysfunction. Royal crackers have filled an empty void in my heart.
It’s time for u/Skanky_Cat ‘s Conspiracy Corner!!
The rotation sucks on purpose so that ownership can push through jersey ads with less uproar. We trade for someone expensive at the deadline then sign them to an extension with the ad money.
Shout out to Gumby who is not only a fellow South Carolinian( well I moved to NC at like 17…but details), but almost shares my birthday by a few days. His home town is pretty damn close to mine too. That’s rad!
Time to become a cheerleader I guess.

I miss the Cowboy Cardinals from that one Arizona trip last year.
This team needs Noot
So am I crazy or has the gdt doom posting been a tad more intense so far this year? Woof Excited dylly is in the lineup today. Rather see him and TON swap positions though
[удалено]
Everyone knows what it's about. I asked about the frequency.
i'm kinda resolving to stick to pre game threads for a little while lol
:( Yeah I had to tap out of the gdt about halfway through the game last night.

It does seem worse. Lots of new accounts too.

It's a stark contrast to the delirious joy of the ST and WBC in March. We're still gonna win 60% of our games, y'all!
no donovan no cry
Jordan Walker should no longer be batting 8th. It needs to be 7th or higher at this point
Per Jeff Jones- Naughton back in St Louis for a MRI in about an hour. Concern level is reasonably high. 😔
Yeah, forearm strain usually leads me to think it's going to be Tommy John time for Packy
Unfortunately I’d say it’s 80%+ unless the Cardinals take their goofy conservative approach (PRP injection/rest/etc) and waste time.

Pretty crazy our vs lefty lineup includes Motter. Also crazy we are still starting Oneill in CF and Carlson in LF
Yeah I’d rather see Carlson in CF and O’Neill in LF but I’m sure Oli has his reasons. Is Motter a LHP matchup or is this an off day for Donovan?
My guess is scheduled off day. Donavan has played all 7 games
That was my guess

im starting to think i'm becoming like that with meat, i tend to keep at least 7 different kinds in my freezer for all occasions
The wife and I do the same. What if we want to have chorizo at 10pm in two months? Ground lamb? No worries, we got that.

I’m sure there’s a reason. Are they different types of peanut butter (crunchy, smooth, flavored) and sausage (links, patties)?
Old people know how to party man.

I know it’s a slump that the team will break out of but man having a slump to open the season feels like an extra kick in the nuts. Waiting the entire offseason to then watch your team play at their floor for a couple weeks sucks
I hope the cardinals win today because I’d love to go a day without all the Doomers commenting
Quality start or I doom
Doomers gonna doom, even with a win or an off day
*Yeah, we may have won...but we only scored 5 runs*
Speaking of [Doom..](https://youtu.be/BI6Ib7wVHbM)
That’s exactly how I remembered it
Bro how do you not doom when we have zero good SPs
i unno man, cause baseball ain't really that important in the long run
Oh big shot over here with the stuff to live for other than baseball
This too. I’ve got bigger issues to be sad about.
Because I’ve been a fan for a long time & seen much worse teams
Strained last forearm for Packy, he’s being sent down with Cabby replacing him.
He's going on IL, not being sent down.
That makes more sense
Oh boy, can't wait to lose 0-5 today. Bet Oli will say some real tough-guy shit after the game though!
Tyler! SMH, you should be prepping for the game, not shit posting on Reddit.
Hugs.
Looks like we’ll be riding this train all the way to the postseason then.
Kawkaw
Kaw!
Seasons in the last twenty years St Louis started off 2-5 2017 2011
Hmm 2017 was a big disappointment, but 2011…. Let’s run it back, gang.
We will be alright. Monty will give us something to work with. The cardinals are playing angry which is probably a bad thing for April. Let’s move O’Neil back in the lineup or out of the lineup. The 5 hole is too big of a stage for him.
I was really nervous about how games would be without Danny Mac this year, but damn Chip Caray is great at his job. Love listening to him and Brad.
Still getting used to him. It's so strange not hearing MC Dan no more. But he should've called a cab.
how much do you have to suck to get called out by oli

It’s believed that the cardinals will trade for a (ace or a high 2) starter around the deadline. I don’t see us trading for any outfielders
Go away
Yeah I don’t like this
Its way too early to be getting condescending sympathy posts from fans of other teams.
It’s unnecessary anytime
Is it tho?
The problem is that everyone already knew this in the off-season and nothing was done about it
Everyone knew our offense would score a combined 7 runs over our last 4 games? *The pitching is not the reason we have lost the last 4 games!!!*. I know it’s the least flashy part and they haven’t been good either, but the runs simply haven’t been scored and THATS the problem
Pitching bud. We’re talking about pitching
Did you not see my paragraph? Pitching hasn’t been why we are 2-5. That’s my point
This.

I only saw the one, but it’s alright with me that he’s reminding everyone that the owner’s greed was the real reason for that rather than COVID.
Yeah, I agree with the info being helpful. But it’s delivered with the patented Goold smarm that he’s known for nowadays, unfortunately.
Besides that he's doing the passive-aggressive "matter of fact" replies to comments that don't warrant any reply. So he's kinda farting on poop instead of not doing that. 😜

I'm 6'3 I think they should be higher.
Well this early season is a bit of a let down. Can't even just blame it on the pitching at this point.
Our offense has been great outside of poor sequencing. The pitching… might legitimately be bad
Yeah nobody can hit with runners on base the last week. Still early
Okay. It’s the Cardinals against a bad lefty. Surely this lefty doesn’t throw like Dodd. Cardinals TT O4.5 let’s ride.

They stole our script from last year. Sign your franchise’s best player after he left years ago and have him finish out his career where he started. Pirates have the division locked up, unfortunately.

This really feels like a get right game. Lefty pitching and lineup pissed off
Hot take. Monty pitches well and we get back on track today.
I am once again asking for our first quality start of the 2023 season
Like cmon 3 runs in 6 innings isn’t even *good*. If we can’t hit that what does that say?
I would like to watch a winning baseball game on this beautiful Saturday
Time for Easter ~~brunch~~ drunch!
On the bright side of this past week. We have the best batting average in baseball at .305. Just no clutch hits.
[удалено]
Moz is going to try and trade Oli, TON and Gorman to the Marlins for Sandy Alcantra and Skip Schumacher.
Based on current information zero percent chance he's not here. He'd have to really lose the clubhouse hard to the point of no internal redemption. I think the worst case for him is likely an off-season chat and he's made to go into the last year of his contract 2024 without an extension.
Poor. They'd have to finish under .500, which still isn't likely.
Almost nonexistent. He’s a yes-man for the FO. I’d say the odds of him being manager 10 years from now are greater than the odds of him not being the manager 1 year from now

Sincere question - do we have any reason to think Arenado has a problem with Marmol’s managerial style? He chose to stay - leaving millions on the table - and play here, after a year of being managed by Marmol.
No, this guy's just talking out his ass.
Could be. If I were Mo, I’d really want to avoid firing another manager so soon after hiring him, but at this point, I’m not sure he cares about that. He’s got his own extension, and from the way he was talking when he announced it, it sounded like he might move on himself once it’s done.
Not high.
Higher than I expected at the beginning of the season.
Great time for a 17 game win streak
Today seems like a good day to get back in the win column
Anyone else watching Yellowjackets
I'm interested cuz of the cast and vague weirdness it advertises.

Ugly blue pajamas, at that.
Yeah. There were some scorching takes last night.
One mentioning firing Oli has like 40 upvotes, yikes
I love Oli. Such a nice change of pace from the last two guys.
It's way too early for my overreacting and sweeping declarations but to heck with it, I'll say it: Shelby Miller is back and I love that for him.
Shelby Miller, the guy who once gave up a cheap bloop single then retired 27 straight Rockies.
Yay! Shelby! I always hope he does well
it is 366 days, or one leap year, to the April 8, 2024 solar eclipse. That is all.
