I expect that matheny will put him in the bullpen, let him sit 3 weeks without pitching, and then deploy him in extra innings during a must-win playoff game

obviously his agent isn't scott boras
he hits free agency after next season; this seems . . . imprudent

The Cardinals’ best 40-game stretch this season was from early June to late July when they went 23-17.
― I look forward to hearing from you shortly, (Karl Malone), Thursday, 8 September 2016 18:04 (seven years ago) link
whoops, forgot the other part:
Conversely, they haven’t had a completely forgettable stretch either. The Cardinals’ worst record over 40 games this season is 20-20 (mid April to late May), which is quite good. In the National League, the only other team to not have a losing record over their worst 40 games of baseball is the Nationals (also 20-20).

wacha back from DL and straight to the bullpen. jaime might be joining him as well

this problem could have been avoided by playing kolten wong at a position he's actually good at (2B), moving carpenter to 3B, and benching a player who has been worth 0.9 fWAR this year (peralta)

OK I haven't even read this yet but:
"This is part one of a three-part series delving into three different elements of Mike Matheny’s management — in-game tactics, player usage and rest, and prospect development — and why the Cardinals retaining him for 2017 is a mistake." [emphasis mine]

oooh votto just got clocked in the chin with a one-hopper from the left fielder as he was sliding into second, stretching a single into a double. has a nice laceration and not too happy about being forced to leave the game

I think we can all agree that the next batter definitely would have driven in the winning run anyway, so no big deal.

No option year for Holliday. He was a great part of the team, but it was the right decision.

frustrating year for sure. the demise of Wacha being the worst part imo. Diaz/Reyes the best.
but still being in the race on the last day in what seemed like a bridge year going into is decent.
other things learned: giving a flexible lineup to a challenged manager is not a great plan. less platoons/throw 5 mediocre players at one position in 2017, please.

yadi and waino up for the gold glove again
http://i.imgur.com/ZwP02Nx.gif
yadi doesn't deserve it. :( his pitchframing still looks good and i'm sure his gamecalling is great, but his arm is gone. his caught stealing was 21% this year, i think? way down from previous years, and it seemed like as the year went on more and more teams starting realizing they could basically steal at will on him.
