Cardinals @ Marlins, 7/28-7/31

Urena down Ellington up

Mathis catching Rea tonight

[Nick]

We're carrying 8 relievers now?

Ramos, Rodney, Barraclough, Wittgren, Dunn, Phelps, McGowan, and Ellington. Yep, I guess that's probably only until Bour comes back.

[Namaste]

Hey, was it Hugg that posted something about how one of our pitchers/all of our pitchers are more effective with Mathis catching?

Can Hugg or whoever please post that again?

Very interested to see who goes down in that case. The obvious answer is Dunn, but Marlins.

[Madman81]

that's not obvious at all because they can't send him down without losing him

Why has losing him been seen as so bad for so long. The guy fucking sucks. Why is he our longest tenured player.

Dunn won't get DFA unless we get another LHP. Likely Ellington goes back down tho when Bour comes back

No need for Urena with 5 SP

[McLevin]

Fun inning

[fish16]

When was the rule changed where guys who were suspended for steroids can;t play in the playoffs even if they already served their suspension? I feel like that was not always the case, correct?

[thatnewguy]

This year I believe.

[Madman81]

you can't be fucking serious

[thatnewguy]

Jesus fucking chirst

[McLevin]

WTF

[Ice]

What happened? At work

[fish16]

unreal. Rea out with injury. So after everything if Chen is out for the year we're kinda right where we started? -2 prospects, and the guy replacing Chen is a free agent at the end of the year.
