Too bad about Weaver, I like his stuff overall
Cardinals17
I did too. I think while he was pitching, the defense let him down and Mike Matheney hung him out to dry by leaving him in too long. This is the second rookie he’s hung out to dry and let the runs stack up against them. He’s ruined one new rookie pitcher’s confidence. Let’s hope he hasn’t don the same to Weaver.

Joely has been a favorite of mine since before the 2013 Rule V Draft (prior to the 2014 season), I was so upset when the Pirates selected his contract- but it all worked out okay– we got him for Bastardo

Here’s to hoping McCarthy succeeds.
Log jam going into the post season so we shall see how it all goes

Looks like Murphy has a pain in his ass

A “tinker” with a rotation, this late in the season, could be looked at as panic.
Is Garcia really the best option for the cardinals? What does this move do to the psych of Weaver?
Cardinals17
Absolutely! I agree with you! Tinkering with the rotation this late in the season is nuts! Also Tinkering with the batting order daily!!! Matheney must not have any stability in his life. Because that’s the way he’s done his batting lineups and pitching rotation all year!!! I m a true blue Cardinal fan and will watch to the bitter end. But watching Mathaney manage is frustrating for this old man.

I think there is something to be said about a consistent batting order but we could also look at the constant shuffling of the order as a strategy to keep other teams guessing? I still probably lean more towards your opinion on that.
The way the bullpen is managed,in my opinion, has been Matheny’s downfall for the past few years. In tight games we all know who is getting used. If it has been predictable to fans, it must be predictable for other teams? For instance, why would I bring in my hot pinch hitter, who hits Seigrist well, in the sixth, when I know he will be pitching the 8th?
I join you in frustration this year Cardinal 17. The defense and base running miscues the Cardinals have had this year are on Matheny. I feel embarrassed for my birds this year, in these categories, because I have not witnessed a year like this in awhile. They have lost games because of it. My guess would be 5? Imagine 5 more wins and 5 less losses? The wild card would be ours.
