RIP 2017 cardinals, and america
that final play was a perfectly agonizing, fitting end to the season
― Karl Malone, Friday, 29 September 2017 03:15 (six years ago) link
will they be *spoilers*, like America?

i think they'll be half spoilers. wild (card) prediction: i think they'll take 1 of 3 from the brewers, and the rockies will manage to pick up at least one from the dodgers. even if matheny plays his B squad all weekend, that's still a pretty decent team, capable of winning at least one from the brewers.
"high floor, low ceiling" will be the epitaph of the 2016-17 cardinals

there's always next year! as a Cubs fan, watching Matheny and the Cards dugout was "good times", i'm sorry to admit...

luke gregerson, 2 years/$11 million
i think i like this deal? all of his troubles last year seem to come from a huge spike in FB% + HR/FB, plus a jump in BABIP. the rest of his peripherals seem to be in line with the rest of his career, so he seems like a good bounceback guy

I'd think the only thing would be a second year on a reliever at age 33. He was always good with the Padres.

also he can tell the cardinals all of jeff luhnow's secrets
― mookieproof, Monday, 11 December 2017 00:05 (six years ago) link
yeah, ideally all relievers could all be signed for a single year given how volatile they are, but that's the risk you run i guess...
encouraging to see that 3 of his HRs last year were of the minute maid bullshit variety (http://www.hittrackeronline.com/detail.php?id=2017_6059&type=pitcher) and a 4th wouldn't have been a HR in almost half of MLB stadiums.
