  1. I know it’s not popular here, but count me as a big Stowers fan. That bat can play, the power is legit. I still wonder if Stowers could be converted to first base. I see an opportunity long term for him as our everyday first baseman
  2. So dreaming out loud here. If Means comes up this weekend and proceeds to pitch like the John Means we all love and miss, Would he be eligible to pitch in the postseason? Or just down the stretch?
  3. In my opinion, Cowser will be fine. I’d keep on playing the kid, because I think his bat will soon shine
  4. When he’s healthy he’s at least a 2. I would love to sign him to a three year deal, but it doesn’t come without risk. Right now, if John Means could come back strong, We’d be set for ‘23. That’s my dream.
  5. If you didn’t think we got a pitcher that can really help this team down the stretch, then you don’t know jack. I voted the trade an A in our poll. I live in springfield missouri, and have watched him regularly from AA ball here in Springfield through his time with the Cards. When Flaherty is healthy, he’s a top of the rotation pitcher. And he’s healthy now
  6. Baker only threw 4 pitches in the 8th. I would have sent him out there for the ninth. Not one to pick on Hyde, but I thought it was strange to trot Bazardo out there for the ninth. But….We got away with it
  7. Mark Belanger says, “Hi”.
  8. If he’d take an incentive laiden deal, yes. I would love Britton to be healthy, pitching well and finish his career here
  9. It’s the Weams chat board! Could not be more appropriately named. It’s just that we all knew him as Weams, and now it’s formalized with his real whole name. Great guy, I miss him. We had our arguments, still love and miss Weams.
  10. Do not sleep on Stowers. Big time power, and a cannon. I think at this time next year, Stowers will be on all of our untouchable lists.
  11. Great deal for trey! I’m happy for him, he’s gonna love hitting at Wrigley.
  12. I totally agree! Most pro athletes are not worth a second contract. So let’s not be the fools that reach out and sign these guys to free agent (second contracts) deals. Build deep depth, check. Don’t take stupid risks on veteran free agents, check. play the international player game, check. I think a lot of O’s fans just need to “Kwitcherbitchen”.
  13. I hear you, but when you have several young pitchers who stepped up and impressed last year, plus two absolute stud pitching prospects….Not to mention the possible return of John Means…i don’t think you need to commit big bucks to aging middle of the road pitchers. If you wanted to step up and spend big on a real TOR starter, i would get behind that idea. But I wouldn’t spend on these guys. Rodon? yeah, i could go along with that because i think he could really boost your chances.
  14. Only time will tell, but I suspect the vast majority of those contracts will not be good deals for the teams. some will be disasters
