Unknøwn Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Cardinals have a press conference tomorrow to announce Oli Marmol as the new manager. Marmol was Shildt's bench coach. He was a 6th round draft pick of STL in 2007. He only played 3 years in the minors before transitioning into coaching. The move has paid off, hes now the youngest manager in MLB at 35.

Unknøwn Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 MLB is considering ways to eliminate the opener. I believe one option on the table was if the SP doesn't go 3 innings you forfeit the DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe one option on the table was if the SP doesn't go 3 innings you forfeit the DH. The NL will be getting the DH but if it doesn’t then this will become useless. I would like to see an attempt to stop double mound visits in between batters just to give the pitcher in the bullpen more time. Was thinking on first mound visit pitcher needs to be replaced or face the batter coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad idea on the surface but what happens when your pitcher just does it have it that day is just getting shelled? dmite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
