Frustration levels with ex-Cardinals

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports

How exactly frustrated should we be with some players?

The latest tradition of looking at the small sample of an ex-Cardinals player having a hot week and making grand declarations about the failure of the front office has motivated me to look back and really judge those “misses.” I am going to do this in maybe an unconventional manner.

Smallball backed a strong Lance Lynn effort

Let’s start with the most important news of the day, which is the passing of Hall of Fame Cardinals manager Whitey Herzog at the age of 92.

The Cardinals Are Throwing Fewer Fastballs

Ray Acevedo-USA TODAY Sports

A number of Cardinals pitchers are trading fastballs for sliders in a sign that the Cardinals may be modernizing their pitching strategy.

Last year, about 11 months ago, I wrote an article titled “The Cardinals Throw Too Many Fastballs” (you can read that here). The premise of that piece was that in a league where fastball usage is declining, the St. Louis Cardinals haven’t followed suit, throwing fastballs at nearly the same rate every single season. In...
