Wow, I am so happy I have found this channel. I cut the chord and losing intentional talk has been a blow! Keep it coming!

we got you covered and a lot more on the way! Baseball America Hot Sheet for prospects is a new venture for us too

[@jackiemoon5906]

Rock bottom for STL was when they let Wainwright chase 200 while being the worst pitcher in the league. Cool moment when it finally happened but it really let you know Cardinals did not care about winning last year.

[@user-rh2ru2hz4y]

Waino had dirt on the team

[@gregspauldini3139]

That doesn't bother me in the least. They were a garbage team anyway so letting him chase that record might have been the only thing to keep any interest.

[@jackiemoon5906]

@@gregspauldini3139 he was pitiful out there. it didn’t help matters that the Waino defenders were going at everyone calling them evil for not wanting to see him get 200.

Valid point.

Mike Schilt got screwed by Mo. Mike Schilt won and got fired. Oli , what has he won? He even got an extension. You F#%# up, Mo!

[@daryldixon3685]

Me and my dad are lifelong Cardinals fans! He was diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer two years ago. I moved back home to help take care of him.We have watched every Cardinals game the last 2 years and I just feel like I’m cursed. The one thing he enjoys anymore is watching the Cardinals but it just sucks to see the owners all the way down to the players fail miserably! Please play better Cardinals my dad doesn’t have but a couple months left and it would make him happy again.

[@rk9wolverine810]

Skenes in the suit shows how much he respects the moment.

[@edwardwilliams3185]

Big heat, the obvious question with guys like this is how long can Skenes do it without blowing out his arm? I'm an old Cubs fan recalling Mark Prior and Kerry Wood.

[@TK0_23_]

Are you suggesting there is kind of problem with arm injuries in baseball?

[@edwardwilliams3185]

@@TK0_23_ Not me. I'm no doctor...

[@jethrojacinto2798]

Ken I'm with you on Skenes meaning business by putting himself together with a suit. These young kids should take notes, always dressing so sloppily thinking that first impressions doesn't make a difference.

[@24tommyst]

The young kids should focus on making a good impression as people, not with wearing some stupid suit. Even Hitler can put a suit on.

[@gpmom1614]

Hey Ken - Could you wear a long clear plastic raincoat with a hood over your suit just for after game interviews? It looks like fun but I'd hate getting splashed every time a team celebrated. You're a good sport. Enjoy your show. Thanks!

[@ScottyBraun-FoulTerritory]

I think we'll have a more active deadline than last year. More sellers emerging this year IMO

Ken, in regards to the handle that you couldn’t pronounce from the final question from this week (@Hotwielzz), think back to our childhood, it’s Hot Wheels! Have a great week sir!

How about Sonny Gray and Ryan Helsley to Baltimore for Jackson Holliday?

Ken, sounds like you need to re-negotiate your contract with Fox to include suits ruined by Gatorade!😂

Grow up. The Pirates must operate that way. They just haven't figured out how to make it work like Cleveland and Tampa.

[@RojoCube]

@@TK0_23_ they spent way less money than the Raye and Spiders

[@TK0_23_]

@@RojoCube Right. They can't keep Skenes. That is how it works in small market teams. But it doesn't mean they can't win more consistently. Cleveland and Tampa use two seperate approaches, but they have been prerty successful. The Pirates? Not. They can do better, but they can't extend Skenes into his late 30s.

[@Mexicalifornia82]

Hi, do you see 3B Nolan Arenado fit in the Dodgers uniform if STL is on the seller mode?

[@Isaac-qe2in]

Ken, invest in some commercial fishermen slickers, bibs, and boots.😄 Or ask your camara crew to drain out the gatorade jugs in the 9th inning by passing out free cupfuls to fans in the stands. Incidentally, how is it that impoverished franchises like the Rays and Brewers can even afford sports drinks... they should be filling their gatorade jugs with WATER! 😁

[@TK0_23_]

I would so love to see Ken do an on field interview dressed in full Maine fishermens gear. Classic.

[@MaxHesh7]

I watched Skenes pitch. I didn't see him wearing a suit out on the mound.

[@TK0_23_]

Yeah. They are required to wear the team uniform. It's in the Official MLB Rule Book. I think it's rule 3.03.

[@bdrussel1]

I think you just guaranteed you will be getting more post game gaterade baths

[@justsomeobservations44]

No take on the Willson Contreras injury and the proliferation of catchers interference calls!? I used to be opposed to going to an automated strike zone but I absolutely think it’s necessary now to protect catchers. I can’t wait until catchers can go back to practicing defense and stop worrying about pitch framing!

[@MaxHesh7]

@Ken Rosenthal. Is there a conspiracy between MLB and Networks not to show the pitch clock?!? It seems that time between pitches has grown longer and violations may be ignored at times.

[@gregspauldini3139]

Extending Marmol after last season was crazy to me. You finish twenty games under .500 and he gets an extension? Goldy has always been a streaky hitter but this is something else. Spring training means nothing to me but when a guy struggles like he did in spring and now 40 games in, that's more than just struggling.

[@estried86]

Cardinals fans have been spoiled for decades, they never had to wait 108 years to win a World Series.

[@arsenal-slr9552]

That's not our fault.

[@TK0_23_]

Cardinal fans are accustomed to competent leadership. They are not getting that and they are rightfully upset. I have always considered them one of the finest organizations in American sports. Unlike some other places like Boston and Chicago. I mean, can you imagine being a Cubs fan? Holy crap.

[@CB-vt3mx]

apparently, I'm the only person on earth who is not surprised at the Cardinals lack of winning this year. Skenes is the next big TJ victim. Gatorade is sticky if it dries on you.

[@carlj12]

Padres and Braves can afford a new suit for you. plus the dodgers have no excuse, send them a bill for the Matt Kemp one

If I were the Tigers I'd want more than Holliday in return for Skubal.

[@milescoburn1845]

This is what happens when a club goes full bore into the "Moneyball Philosophy" and "Three Outcome Batting Philosophy". Ballpark Village was the worst thing to happen to the Cardinals as that became the main focus for the owners.

[@seamsWILD]

Cardinals being favored to win the NL Central was...not accurate by many stat machines

[@slundgr]

4IP, 6H and 3ER is a great debut? Skenes has great stuff, but going only four innings is not that impressive. Why wasn't he extended in spring training and the minor leagues? There is no guarantee on limiting pitches and innings that will keep them healthy.

[@Blank-qf6ui]

No love for small market teams huh?

[@eddya.3776]

The Cardinals have a hard time judging talent that's obvious. Letting guys like Adolis Garcia and Randy Arazorena go but holding on to guys like Lars Nootbar and Dylan Carlson like they're made of gold is suspect talent evaluation. I'm tired of hearing how great Carlson and Nootbar are when the on field performance doesn't back it up. Neither one of those two can stay on the field anyway they're always hurt but when they play it's blah.

[@KavehMoini-by9rt]

NL central def not as strong as NA west which consist of LA dogers and 3 stooges , NL east which consist of Phillies and 2.5 stooges (are half good )

He calls it a splinker. Only other pitcher I’ve heard of who uses that term is Jhoan Duran of the Twins…his is even harder than Skenes he throws it 97-100 off of his 100-103 four-seamer.

Cards are so terrible at the plate this year they can’t even HIT rock bottom

[@TK0_23_]

Ken. How about swapping out your suit coat for a wind breaker of the channel your interviewing for (ie Fox, CBS etc) when you are about to do the interview? You can scotch guard it. And wear pants that are washable. You'll look professional if not as stylish and save a bundle on cleaning and new suits. Be proactive.

[@MaxHesh7]

As far as Skenes, rhe Pirates wasted most of his dominant performances in the minors. He was okay in his debut. Radar gun readings.arent what they used to be and not to be trusted in the parks. Skenes wasn't properly prepared to throw much more than 5 or y innings at most. This is a GenZ Baseball debut at its most disappointing.

[@sydsmusicpluspage]

Karma for Mo and the Cardinals for firing Mike Schilt with a phone call. Classless for an organization that prizes itself on " the Cardinal Way". The Cardinal way went south after they canned Schilt after taking them to the playoffs. They deserve everything happening to the. Lost all respect for the team and organization. "There was a difference in philosophy ". How'd that work out for you Mo?
