In this episode, Rusty and Adam talk over the bullpen overhaul, starting with Friday’s internal moves and covering Saturday’s trade with the Yankees. With the deadline approaching, the guys talk about what they expect and what direction the team can go. Also, we continue the conversation regarding the early differences between Mike Shildt and Mike [...]
Yesterday I looked at the St. Louis Cardinals internal options for the left side of their bullpen. It was as much an endorsement for promoting Tyler Webb and Tommy Layne as it was a push to move on from Brett Cecil and Tyler Lyons. Today is Part 2, as I turn to the other side [...]
While the St. Louis Cardinals offense has been hit-and-miss this season, the bullpen has been mostly miss — or mostly hit, if you’re the opponent — and has proven to be the true Achilles heel of the team. Some pruning and improving could surely occur on the right-hand side, such as relieving Greg Holland of [...]
Man, where do I even begin? The St. Louis Cardinals bullpen is an absolute wreck. But you probably already knew that. When the team changed managers just over a week ago, they cited a desire to salvage the 2018 season and compete for a playoff spot. While the change has a good chance at sparking [...]

Way back at the end of April, over at the Redbird Daily, I took a quick look on the first month’s return on the Cardinals winter trades.

It’s all the same, only the names will change. Every day, it’s seems the Cards are wasting away…versus lefties, at least. It’s become normal, and expected, that when the Cardinals face a lefthanded pitcher the results probably aren’t going to be very good. We can’t explain it.
