Cardinals Select Nabil Crismatt

By Steve Adams | August 17, 2020 at 1:49pm CDT

The Cardinals announced Monday that they’ve selected the contract off right-hander Nabil Crismatt. Fellow righty Roel Ramirez was optioned to the alternate training site in a corresponding move. The Cards are also bringing right-hander Jake Woodford up as the 29th man for tonight’s twin bill against the Cubs.

Crismatt, 25, was a minor league signee whom the Cardinals invited to Spring Training over the winter. He’s spent most of his career in the Mets organization and was with the Mariners organization in 2019. A starter for most of his career in the minors, Crismatt has struggled in parts of two Triple-A stints but carries a 2.82 ERA with 9.3 K/9, 2.3 BB/9 and 0.7 HR/9 through 195 Double-A frames. Home runs have been an issue for him in the launching pad that is the Triple-A Pacific Coast League, but even in spite of the long balls, he’s averaged nearly 11 punchouts per nine frames at that level.

The Cards have had seven players make their MLB debuts since they resumed play after a team Covid-19 outbreak wiped out more than two weeks of their schedule. Crismatt will be the eighth if and when he gets into the game. He’ll also serve as rotation depth or bullpen length for the remainder of the season as the Cards work their way back toward a full-strength roster.

      That was my first thought. The Cardinals have gotten hit so bad with the virus that they are just checking out cantinas for players.

    Nabil Crismatt is an anagram for Antiracist BLM. Cardinals taking social justice to the next level!

    This is obviously a joke so keep you soapboxes holstered.

      Politics aside, I dont think you fully understand what an anagram is or how it works.

      You’d need at least a E, K, V to make the joke fit.

        How an anagram works? You mean rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to create another?

        I think you must be the one that is confused when it comes to anagrams or spelling.

        He was thinking of “angiogram,” and he’s still wrong.

          Gotta love light-hearted posts getting met with sophomania. But I believe baseball pun was joking about NFL. If not, I greatly overestimated the posters on trade rumors.

          Still better than posters on other sites.

        An anagram uses ALL the letter not SOME letters.

        I capitalized the letters you’re missing. K, V, and 2 E’s

        Iceman and Cinema are anagrams.

        Mane, Mince, Nice are not.

          Except he didn’t say anything about Black Lives Matter. He said BLM. Just the abbreviation. It is not that difficult to see that “Antiracist BLM” and “Nabil Crismatt” share exactly the same letters and are exact anagrams.

          Oooof. It’s obvious you didn’t put politics aside and you’re just nitpicking. There’s a reason I didn’t spell out the entire acronym. But congrats on that big brain. I’m sure everyone loves your “ummm actually” bit at gatherings.
