The Redbirds won 100 games this year. Can’t second guess that. The playoffs are about who is hot at the end of the year. Last year: Bumgarner. This year: Arrieta. Ya just can’t plan for that.

Yes but what Goold is saying (and, as a Cardinals fan, I agree with) is that having a deeper roster might better allow the team to be hot at the end of the year. This is a team that just looked tired and beat. Some of that I can’t explain away (Lance Lynn threw 25 fewer innings this year) but there’s no question Matheny could have rested, say, Peralta more if Kozma wasn’t a complete black hole at the plate

Arrieta didn’t even pitch well against the Cards in the NLDS… Don’t act like it was a hot pitcher who put the Cardinals down this year, they were totally outplayed.

That the Cards won as many games as they did with some of the issues they had this year is impressive. They don’t have to hang their heads too much.
