So pitcher is smart to keep throwing with tendonitis? Keep injuring himself for 2 months and now has a chance at a more serious issue? No you say!?!? So it was and still is stupid.

Aren't you a former player? Did you run to the trainer every time you had a sore muscle? I'm sure Gausman didn't think it was anything serious as most pitchers have experienced stiffness or soreness at some point. And the fact that he was throwing 100 mph should be a good indication that what he was experiencing didn't impede him that much.

Your demonstrative language in describing him makes it sound as if you are less than objective.

As a former player anytime I felt pain throwing I said something. I went from a pitcher to and OF because highschool coach thought I was a whiner. Went to my family doc and so on.. And found out I bone spurs in my shoulder. Had surgery and didn't throw for 6 months. If I had ignored it would have been a lot wiser, right? So Stiffness happens, so does tightness but combined with pain that's a big deal. He had the combo and kept silent on it.

No one thinks a player should ignore a legitimate injury, but you calling him stupid without having all the facts is foolish. Since when has a media report or one or two quotes represented the entirety of the situation? You don't know whether or not how much stiffness or soreness he was experiencing or whether or not he thought it was that far from normal muscle soreness until it became a problem.

      How far do you go to try to save this?

      Pitching injuries are happening to a crazy degree all over the sport. We still have our #1 starter who is the best starter that we have had in decades and a very talented #2/3. All is not lost.

      There will be FAs (none admittedly as good as Burnes) that we can sign. We have a ridiculously low payroll and aren't paying anyone.  We are not going to maintain excellence long term by only using the draft and trades to meaningfully add talent. We are going to have to use the free agent market (wisely) too.

      We’re tied with the Yankees in the Loss Column.

      Bigger game for them than it is for us imo. We already won a home series against them, they need to answer back in NY. Going to be pretty deflating for them if they drop the series after winning game one, especially after their series vs LA and Boston recently.

      That's a good proposition IMO. Will STL sell? They kind of half sold last year and they are actually a bit better this year (2nd place currently around .500).

      Umpire Scorecard Thread

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      I tend to think sometimes certain pitchers looks more presentable to an umpire. Last night both teams had more than 5 pitchers enter the game and we never got the calls the Yankees were getting. The catcher framing stuff does not make sense because the umpire is supposed to make the call where it crossed the plate. Jose Trevino is a “great” framer but that’s just because last night umpire was horrible.

      As am sure that you are well aware, we are tied for the least amount of losses in all of MLB (3rd best record due to game played). IMO this is the COMPLETELY wrong way to approach things. We are 1 to 2 pieces away from being the best team hands down in all of baseball and are VERY LEGIT World Series contenders. We should approach every season with this kind of record and superstar talent the SAME.... You try to win the World Series! Unlike some, I do not take for granted these kind of chances/opportunities. Because I know that they won't be here forever.  What is the alternative to adding in a meaningful way? Waiting until next year, when the same injury rash could happen, Burnes could be gone, and Gunnar and Adley are that much closer to free agency? Is that the plan? There is no guarantee that ANY future season will be any better than this one. We are not "saving" or salvaging anything. I'm not even sure how that applies to a team this good? NO! What we are doing is trying to start a run of chasing championships.
