Seems like its Cardinal fans that are getting the twitter connection, are they a bunch of whilte libs?...Love me some fansided lol

No shout out to Mariner fans, where is the love?
After the St. Louis Cardinals dealt with injuries to the pitching staff all of 2021, the front office has prioritized upgrades across the board. They have been connected to Steven Matz and Andrew Heaney.

But fans have asked (demanded?) for high-end pitchers, with most of their attention going toward Max Scherzer and Marcus Stroman – and on late Saturday night, Stroman made it clear he’s noticed the support from Cardinals fans.

“Cardinals fans flooding my mentions,” Stroman tweeted. “I see y’all. Appreciate all the love!”

Stroman later went on to praise Chicago Cubs, Houston Astros, Boston Red Sox, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Angels and a “few” New York Mets fans. The Cardinals were his first shoutout, but does that mean anything?

Gaylord Perry was a future HOFer

OMG, a work horse?...maybe you are missing Paxton already lol

About Stroman
Among other things, Law said:

He’s incredibly athletic and seems able to make adjustments as well as any pitcher in baseball, like adding an entirely new pitch in his age-30 season. I think he’s the best bet among free-agent starters this year, with a combination of upside and floor that puts him ahead of anyone else on the list.

Ben:

Combine a new penchant for missing bats and his normal grounder-focused game, and you have a recipe for success. He also made 33 starts, the rare pitcher with a durable 2021 season. It might sound strange that a pitcher with a below-average strikeout rate is a hot commodity in this era of missing bats and taking names, but Stroman does everything else so well that it hardly matters. If he takes another step forward with his splitter in his second year throwing it, there’s even more upside — and we’re already talking about a workhorse with a mid-3.00s ERA.
