I don't see an MLB thread for everyone, so I will post Cardinals stuff, and you will like it!
In all seriousness, though, I thought your Dodgers had a good draft. Nine pitchers, but your team seems to handle pitchers well, and your first two were high-schoolers.

Well.... General Sports Talk should fit the bill Memsie. You know I love you and am just poking fun.
But I'm guessing you would have a serious thread with all our great St Louis fans in here. Just a guess. I - as a Dodger fan - even like the Cards (baseball).
I think you'd have a cool thread here and get a lot more convo if you were to start one about your team.
Keep in mind, I don't have a problem with you talking about your team here. I just think you could generate more Cards discussion with a Cards thread. They're certainty worth talking about.

Definitely fair. It's just that the Cardinals are below .500 (and it'll take a miracle to get into the playoffs), so there's not really much to talk about, except for the draft.

I was going to give you a Not so Sure since they "suck" (hides from Memento) but that would only have been to give Memento a hard time.

Josiah Grey's part of that package too. I wonder if they think Bauer won't be playing anymore this year?

I've seen prolonged slumps but this one is a doozy. .160 now. I get keeping him in there to try and break out of it. A basketball player will keep shooting till it starts to fall. But how much is he hurting his team?
Two ways of looking at it. Bat him 8th and he'll probably get more walks. Put him in front of Muncy or Turner and he'll probably see more pitches to hit. Personally, I'd bat him 8th until he figures it out.

That 10 year peak chart comparing the two is pretty amazing. When was the last time the two best pitchers of their generation were on the same team?

Boy. Really hard to not bat Belli as he's also a really good defensive player.

Whoa there Old School.....the 2 best pitchers of their generation is juuuuust a little different than two of the best pitchers of their generation!!!That 10 year peak chart comparing the two is pretty amazing. When was the last time the two best pitchers of their generation were on the same team?

Having said that, this trade deadline was amazing. Teams that were at or near the top bolstered their roster and teams that were still in position to get into the postseason made improvements. But the number of front line players who changed teams was amazing.
Rizzo, Bryant and Baez
Scherzer, Berrios and Kimbrel
Gallo, Cruz, Marte

Kershaw and Scherzer aren't the 2 best in the game during their time in MLB? I mean there are some other good ones the only one though that's close IMO is Verlander.

I dunno. I'm looking at a guy like DeGrom; he's easily the best right now.

This year? Sure! Last year? Probably? Over their career? Not even close. This is the age of sabermetrics of war and such right? Career Kershaw is at 68.9 WAR and deGrom? Who people don't realize is only a couple months younger than Clayton? Yeah Jacob is at a 40.9. I'm not sure why people get offended but there really is only two people who can compete on this list of best of their era with Kershaw and Scherzer and that's Zach Greinke and Justin Verlander. The last time I can remember a power duo of starting pitchers like this was Schilling and Johnson and Schilling as good as he was is a distant second to Johnson. This would be like having 2 of Clemens, Maddux, Pedro and Johnson on the same team.
