“We’re not exactly a low payroll team, but you got the Dodgers playing checkbook baseball. We’re going to be the hardest working group of Midwestern farmers we can be,” Mikolas opined on March 16 about this domestic-season-opening matchup, per John Denton of MLB.com. “It would be great to stick it to the Dodgers.”

Mikolas is a shit-sucking cretin. He fits in perfectly with the supercilious ****s running the team.

You guys watching the ESPN broadcast? Kike Hernandez's pitch com is coming through the mic on the interview.

Saw that.

Now i get to watch em implode

lol

Shit team

Paul Goldschmidt may make the HOF, but the dude is nothing but a compiler that routinely shits himself in big moments.

Dodgers are the dynasty

So Oli burned 1.2 innings of Gallegos Friday night in a game they were down 5-0 then used him Saturday so he wasnt available Sunday night.

We have guy on the roster in the pen Fernandez, who hasn't thrown a pitch this season.

And everyone is talking about the Cards "depleted" bullpen.

Oli is a ****ing moron.

Pirates undefeated! This will be the only time we are 4 games over .500 and in first place.

Time to begin our normal free fall to the bottom of the barrell.

I dunno. Cruz et al seem like they are beginning to put it together. Like your 3rd baseman and CF as well.

When you spend a new BILLION $'s in the off season adding players, on top of the BILLION $'s you already spent, you probably will make your team better.

This is really bad for baseball. Football figured it out a long time ago. All teams should have the same chance to win a championship. Only a handful of baseball teams can commit to a BILLION $'s.

Its an unfair advantage. Baseball is in trouble. Fans only watch their own teams games.Unless there is some sort of salary cap put in place, it'll continue its decline.

That change wont take place until baseball loses a whole season or more. But, thats what its going to take to save baseball for the next generation.

Brought my World Series tickets.

The Dodgers are kicking the can down the road to avoid huge CBT bills. It's no different from how the Chiefs keep restructuring Mahomes, and actually smarter based on California tax law for them to offer it to Ohtani. Whether it makes him more or less money in the long run may be debatable, but it allows them to go out and supplement an elite core.

The Cardinals could do this if they wanted. They did it with Matt Holliday. They just don't care. Everyone in the org got fat and complacent after 2013, and bought into their own hype, and ownership no longer cared about doing anything more than the bare minimum. They didn't appreciate that Luhnow built the team that was the envy of the NL from 2011-2015. That's why the Cubs lapped them, the Dodgers, Phillies and Braves buried them, and why they won't win over 85 games for the foreseeable future.

3-3 out west so far and this is without Gray having a start. Far better than I expected to be honest.

If Wynn, Walker, and Donavan continue to progress, this team will be all right.
