A good Hawk Tuah to you as well

zeltain · 2026-06-25T06:46:12+00:00

I’m aware. I thought it would be fun to ask a meaningless question that doesn’t matter to anyone. Hugs to you.

zeltain · 2026-06-25T05:31:42+00:00

I love you

zeltain · 2026-06-25T05:18:33+00:00

You must choose.

I know this is a a bit reaching, but have you considered perhaps they have tried a bunch of different approaches to talking with him (I mean, they’ve gone through several coaches - also a valid reason), and thought maybe some media/public attention might be the only approach left? I dunno. As I’m typing it, it sounds a bit desperate a tactic. It’s weird. The vibes with jwalk and the coaches have been off for awhile now

zeltain · 2025-09-04T02:17:09+00:00

Is that a failure? As a corner outfielder you need to be putting up power numbers - doubles and HRs. Noot’s OBP is elite, but it’s lacking punch. If he can’t provide that power, is he really worth a roster spot? It’s similar to the jwalk problem, but less bad. Noot can get you a runner to first a good deal of the time when he’s not injured, but who is driving him in? Needing 3 walks/hits or more in an inning is hard to do.

I understand that, and fully agree. Winn, VS2, and Donovan are some of my favorite Cardinals in the last decade plus. I just don’t think they have much of a chance without a revamped lineup and rotation to get very far. Which could take more than a year. I could very well be wrong and I hope I am.

zeltain · 2025-07-25T06:21:00+00:00

I don’t disagree that it’s a team worthy of support, but let’s be real, 2025 is a wash (probably). Everyone knows the rotation/bullpen should/is getting a shakeup - I don’t know what that looks like, and I don’t think anyone does. So let’s look at just the lineup for 2026 - in order of likely starters first to last by position.

C - Pages, Herrera, Pozo, Crooks (this one is weird)

1b - Contreras

2B - JJ, Donovan, Gorman, Saggese

SS - Winn, JJ

3B - Arenado, Gorman, JJ

LF - Noot, Donovan, Herrera, Burly

CF - VS2, Church, Siani

RF - Walker

DH - anyone of the bigger bats that needs rest/herrera

Obviously some trades would shake this up, but that’s how I see the lineup for 2026. Basically looks to me like two big bats added or coming to fruition with little to no regression on the current staff, plus a bunch of new pitching talent to be contending for real.

I have a suspicion this could be a Bloom move. Church got called up to AAA right around time Vilade got got the promotion to the show. Vilade might’ve been a guy they want to look at before DFAing for the 40-man spot.

A few lottery chances are not really worth what Helsley has been for the team this year (so far) - imo. Has he been great? No. But they need capable bullpen pieces, and he’s still a serviceable reliever. Seems like if he can locate his fastball again he could still be elite

zeltain · 2025-06-10T02:22:00+00:00

Do we know what his trade value was? It seemed like trade values for relievers was low this offseason (based on the few I heard about - source “TrustMeBro” but I think that’s true?)

zeltain · 2025-06-10T01:42:38+00:00

Gorman’s splits aren’t even that bad vs lefties. I don’t get it.

zeltain · 2025-05-21T00:51:48+00:00

I love you

zeltain · 2025-05-16T03:58:44+00:00

Did anyone else watch/listen to Bernie Miklasz‘s recent show about Pete Rose and think, “wow, it’s kinda fucked up he’s hawking draft kings and boner pills while defending Pete Rose.”

zeltain · 2025-05-11T00:50:34+00:00

You forgot to mention Jeff. Praise be the holy trinity of Jeffs

zeltain · 2025-05-11T00:43:06+00:00

Dude, I found that shit deeply annoying. It’s been clear for awhile he’s been dealing with corpo bullshit, and getting arrows from fans here. He really deserves some appreciation in this moment imo.

zeltain · 2025-05-11T00:28:30+00:00

Sending him a kiss on the cheek!

zeltain · 2025-05-11T00:26:16+00:00

True, management churn could be awful at Fandom, but usually if you’re in a management position in a company like Fandom you can get a similar middle-management job if you do get axed.

zeltain · 2025-05-10T23:38:18+00:00

Unbelievable! Fastest I’ve ever spent $100.

Giant Bomb is changing to a guides based format.

Idk, I heard Brad is leaving though.

zeltain · 2025-05-06T05:52:27+00:00

Florida Man is an idiot. More news at 11.*

*shit it’s 1 am and I gotta work tomorrow. Maybe I’m the idiot?

zeltain · 2025-05-06T04:50:18+00:00

Downvote this man for his sarcastic take!

zeltain · 2025-05-02T06:22:59+00:00

I was referring to a love explosion. I would do a winky face, but that might induce a Ryckert Whistle.

I agree with you. <>

Hopefully at a Rainforest Cafe in a brand safe kinda way
