Take 10 with Tim – Trade deadline reviewWe will review some of the big trades and discuss the players involved.1.The Astros acquired Justin Verlander from the Mets for two outfield prospects, Drew Gilbert and Ryan Clifforda.The Astros and Verlander reunite. They are surging. Is this enough to overcome/hold off the Rangers2.The Rangers acquired Max Scherzer from the Mets for LuisAngel Acuna and pay a pick part of his salary.a.The Rangers acquire Jordan Montgomery and Chris Stratton from the Cardinals for Thomas Sagesse, Tekoah Roby, and John Kingb.The Rangers remake 40% of their starting rotation and give up some prospect capital in doing it. Does this help/hurt Scherzer and Montgomery's fantasy output?3.The Marlins acquired Josh Bell from the Guardians for Khalil Watson and Jean Segura, whom they releaseda.They also acquired Jake Burger from the White Sox for Jake Ederb.They then acquired Ryan Weathers from the Padres for Garrett Cooperc.WOW…you got to give the Marlins credit for trying. Do you know what they are doing? Will it work?d.In Cleveland, is Kyle Manzardo a player that people should be targeting? Isn't the path open for him?4.The Orioles acquired Jack Flaherty from the Cardinals for Cesar Prieto and Drew Roma.A lot of people were disappointed that the Orioles didn't do more, what is your take?b.Does Flaherty help them? Will he better than his 4.43 ERA has been this year with the Cardinals?5.So the Mets… They trade many of their older players and according to Max Scherzer will likely not compete next season. There's also rumors that they will shop Pete Alonso and Nimmo over the winter.a.It feels like what the San Diego Padres did circa 2014-15 when AJ Preller was just hired. He brought in many big-name players to win (James Shields, Matt Kemp, Ryan Haniger, Wil Myers (the big deal that sent Trea Turner to Washington), etc., to dismantle it and start over again with Tatis Jr. as the base. b.Your thoughts on what they are doing?c.We will talk about what that team might look like the rest of the year and next. 6.The Angels brought in a bunch of players as well. Lucas Giolito, CJ Cron, Randal Grichuk.a.Does this push them over the threshold?b.Is this enough to convince Ohtani to stay?c.Pickups in Colorado?7.Any other trades of note for you?8.What one hitter will you be targeting this weekend?9.What one pitcher will you be targeting this weekend?This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3306394/advertisement
Texas Rangers Pitcher Chris Stratton joins the Nation to talk Texas Rangers Baseball
It was an eventful trade deadline for the St. Louis Cardinals, but quite different from the usual. For the first time in decades, the Cardinals explored the seller's market and moved a handful of players for prospects.Out goes Jack Flaherty, Paul DeJong and Jordan Hicks, three guys who had at least five years of big-league experience with the Cardinals at the big-league level. Jordan Montgomery and Chris Stratton, two pending free agents who the Cardinals acquired at last year's deadline, were also on the move once again. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Charlie Culberson's surprising staying power as a barely-playing big leaguer, then break down the first batch of trades preceding the trade deadline, including deals involving Max Scherzer, Jordan Montgomery, Chris Stratton, Jordan Hicks, Nicky Lopez, Randal Grichuk, and C.J. Cron. They also discuss the lack of impact hitters […]
Grey and B_Don discuss the baseball trades that happened and what they might mean for the players involved and those still on rosters. We start with the Rangers who added a few arms in Max Scherzer, Jordan Montgomery, and Chris Stratton. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Three out, five in. The trade deadline has started in earnest for the St. Louis Cardinals and while known names have gone to Toronto and Texas, new faces are now in the organization. Daniel (@C70) dipped into the large pool of content creators at the Fans First Sports Network (@FFSN) to go to the source and find out more about the prospects the Cardinals acquired. First up, in an interview conducted by Leo Moony (@minor_leaguer, part of the Around the Nest Podcast), the voice of the AA New Hampshire Fisher Cats Steve Goldberg (@SteveGoldberg_) fills us in on pitchers Sem Robberse and Adam Kloffenstein. How did these guys improve during their time in New Hampshire? How did they fit in to the community and the team? What memories will Steve have of them? The second half of the show finds Daniel chatting with Ben Dieter (@bdieter75) and C.J. Berryman (CJB_RR) of The Ranger Report (@TheRangerReport). What did they think of acquiring Jordan Montgomery and Chris Stratton? Is Tekoah Roby's health a serious issue? What will John King bring to the bullpen? Is Thomas Saggese close to ready for prime time? Thanks to all of the guests that help us get a fuller picture of these new Cardinals! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the remarkably active day for the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday as John Mozeliak jumped into the trade deadline frenzy with both feet. Mo moved Jordan Hicks, Jordan Montgomery and Chris Stratton for five players across two different deals with the Blue Jays and Rangers. What do we think of the deals individually and did the Cardinals get enough talent in return for the players that they gave up in these trades? And what do we think Mo and Co. might be cooking up next between now and Tuesday's deadline? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bschaeffer12/message
Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis about the St. Louis Cardinals. The day we never thought would come is here and the Cardinals, officially, are sellers. How did they make out in the deals that sent Jordan Hicks to Toronto and Jordan Montgomery and Chris Stratton to Texas? Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) discuss many of the facets of the deals, from trying to pronounce Robberse and Saggese to figuring out where all these new folks fit in the future of the Cardinals. The deals aren't done, either, as Jack Flaherty and others still remain on the roster. Where might he go? What bats might join him on the way out of town? And who is going to pitch the rest of the season? It might well be you, dear listener! Come in and marinate in the trade talk!
In our final episode before the Trade Deadline we break down the trades of Jordan Montgomery, Chris Stratton, and Jordan Hicks! It sucks to see some of our favorites go but the Cardinals got an amazing return for three rental pitchers! Next, we debate a few key Cardinals topics for the longterm success of the team. Should Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado be shipped off to start a longterm rebuild? How do the returns from Monty and Hicks project for the team's future outlook? Do we trust in Mozeliak and Marmol to manage the team well? We discuss some questionable decisions by management this season and determine if overhauling the front office is the key to success. Lastly, who are some other names we'd like to see traded? Of course we expect Flaherty to be moved but who else? DeJong? Burleson? Knizner? Gallegos? We broke it all down!

Jojo Romero and Chris Stratton had an encore performance last night following their act from the initial game in the series in Arizona. Waino and Matz with consecutive solid outings? Who knew?! ESPN is in an interesting position right now with their business dealings regarding all of the professional sports leagues, but Nate thinks this could have some serious unforeseen implications down the road.
Brenden Schaeffer describes the Cardinals' 4-3 loss to the Giants from Monday at Busch Stadium as the team keeps losing in very similar ways day after day in this putrid stretch. But should criticisms of this team and their play in 2023 extend beyond the low-hanging fruit of raging about Oli Marmol's bullpen management? What if I told you these issues are more a product of another factor that to a large extent should have been foreseeable in the off-season? We get into all of that on the show and hear from Cardinals' reliever Chris Stratton following a tough night for the St. Louis bullpen. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bschaeffer12/message

The final lottery ball giving the Blackhawks the opportunity to draft Bedard popped out of a machine 80 minutes earlier. The roughly 20 people in the room to witness the drawing were sequestered there without access to phones or other communication devices until Daly revealed the card with the Blackhawks logo. The entire process emceed by Commissioner Gary Bettman is filmed for posterity. Anaheim, San Jose, Arizona, Washington and St. Louis also had a chance down to the final lottery ball. NFL – Bears get QB Justin Fields assistance on draft’s last day The Chicago Bears completed their draft with more help for quarterback Justin Fields but no defensive ends to help the pass rush. They drafted Texas running back Roschon Johnson in Round 4 and then speedy Cincinnati slot Tyler Johnson in the same round before turning their attention to defense for the rest of the draft. Minnesota cornerback Terell Smith and Oregon linebacker Noah Sewell went in Round 5 and Kennesaw State defensive tackle Travis Bell and Stanford safety Kendall Williamson were next. GM Ryan Poles said they’ll keep an eye out for chances to acquire a needed defensive end. Golf – Judge seems skeptical of Tiger Woods’ ex-girlfriend’s claims A Florida judge appeared skeptical during a court hearing of claims made by Tiger Woods’ ex-girlfriend. Florida Judge Elizabeth Metzger repeatedly questioned Erica Herman’s attorney during Tuesday’s hearing. Benjamin Hodas tried to argue that a nondisclosure agreement between the two should be invalidated, questioning whether her signature on the 2017 contract was legitimate or forged. Metzger appeared to side with Woods’ attorney that the agreement requires that any legal disputes between the two be handled in private by an arbitrator, not in court. Herman is seeking $30 million, saying she was illegally evicted from Woods’ mansion after their breakup last October. She has also claimed sexual harassment, an allegation Woods’ attorney denies.

The Rangers became the first team since 1986 to have two of its first-round picks make their big league debuts as starters in the same game. Left-hander Cole Ragans, who twice had Tommy John surgery after being their first-round selection in 2016, allowed one unearned run over five innings in his debut.

The league says the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs will play a two-game series on June 24 and 25, 2023, at London Stadium. The NL Central rivals were supposed to play in London in 2020, but the games were canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. MLB last played in London in 2019, when the New York Yankees swept a two-game set against the Boston Red Sox in June at London Stadium. Those were also MLB’s first regular-season games played in Europe. MLB – Miguel Cabrera says he’s uncertain about playing in 2023 Miguel Cabrera says he may end his likely Hall of Fame career at the end of this season. The 39-year-old Detroit Tigers star mused on the subject Thursday amid a slump through the dog days of summer. Cabrera joined the 3,000-hit/500-homer club earlier in the season, and was hitting .308 as recently as July 8. Plagued by lower-body problems that have been a constant issue in recent seasons, he entered Thursday hitting .132 with three extra-base hits in his last 20 games. The Tigers came into the season as fringe contenders after a strong finish in 2021, but they have staggered to a 42-65 record with the worst offense in baseball.

Derek Carr, the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback, and Davante Adams, the All-Pro receiver acquired in blockbuster trade with Green Bay, were among many starters who sat out for both teams. Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence wore a backward cap on the sideline while third-string quarterback Jake Luton was started. NFL – Former attorney general to hear appeal of Watson suspension NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has chosen former New Jersey Attorney General Peter C. Harvey to hear the appeal of the six-game suspension for Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. Watson has been suspended by independent disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson, who concluded he violated the league’s personal conduct policy after being accused of sexual misconduct by two dozen women in Texas. The league wants further discipline and appealed Robinson’s ruling. The appeal gave the power back to Goodell to hand down punishment but he instead chose Harvey to hear the appeal. NFL – Attorney urges Goodell to ‘do the right thing’ on Watson A lawyer representing two dozen women who have accused Deshaun Watson of sexual assault or harassment says NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has a chance to “do the right thing” now that the league has appealed a six-game suspension for the quarterback. Attorney Tony Buzbee says “Every victim of sexual assault is watching Roger Goodell and the NFL right now.” The NFL’s appeal of an independent disciplinary officer’s decision gives Goodell or someone he designates the authority to increase Watson’s penalty. Goodell has named former New Jersey Attorney General Peter C. Harvey as his designee to hear the appeal. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Washington Mystics at Chicago Sky, 8:00 p.m. WNBA – WNBA’s Griner convicted at drug trial, sentenced to 9 years A judge in Russia convicted American basketball star Brittney Griner of drug possession and smuggling. She was sentenced to nine years in prison in a politically charged case that could lead to a high-stakes prisoner exchange between Washington and Moscow. Griner showed little emotion to the sentence but her lawyers said later she was “very upset, very stressed.” U.S. President Joe Biden denounced as “unacceptable” the verdict and sentence, which came amid soaring tensions between the U.S. and Russia over Ukraine. Griner had told the court she had no intention to break the law by bringing vape cartridges with cannabis oil when she flew to Moscow to play basketball in the city of Yekaterinburg. WNBA – Brittney Griner recognized with WNBA moment of silence Following Brittney Griner’s sentencing in Russia to nine years in prison Thursday, WNBA players, coaches and fans locked arms and tried to send the American basketball star strength during a moment of silence. Before the Connecticut Sun beat the Phoenix Mercury 77-64, players from both teams met at midcourt and silently bowed their heads for 42 seconds — a nod to Griner’s jersey number with the Mercury. Sun coach Curt Miller wore a “WE ARE BG” t-shirt. Griner, a two-time U.S. Olympic champion and a eight-time WNBA all-star, was convicted of drug possession and smuggling.

Sun coach Curt Miller wore a “WE ARE BG” t-shirt. Griner, a two-time U.S. Olympic champion and a eight-time WNBA all-star, was convicted of drug possession and smuggling.

The Rangers became the first team since 1986 to have two of its first-round picks make their big league debuts as starters in the same game. Left-hander Cole Ragans, who twice had Tommy John surgery after being their first-round selection in 2016, allowed one unearned run over five innings in his debut. Bubba Thompson, the team’s first pick in 2017, had a bunt single. Brock Burke struck out four in two scoreless innings for the win. White Sox starter Johnny Cueto gave up 11 hits, with four strikeouts and no walks while pitching the entire game.

Quintana, traded from the Pittsburgh Pirates to St. Louis on Monday, surrendered one run, one hit and two walks and struck out seven batters in six innings in a no-decision debut with the Cardinals, who have won four straight and are tied for first place in the NL Central with Milwaukee. Jordan Hicks (3-5) allowed a run on a hit and two walks, and Génesis Cabrera and Chris Stratton each tossed a scoreless inning in relief in the combined two-hitter.

The league says the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs will play a two-game series on June 24 and 25, 2023, at London Stadium. The NL Central rivals were supposed to play in London in 2020, but the games were canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. MLB last played in London in 2019, when the New York Yankees swept a two-game set against the Boston Red Sox in June at London Stadium. Those were also MLB’s first regular-season games played in Europe. MLB – Miguel Cabrera says he’s uncertain about playing in 2023 Miguel Cabrera says he may end his likely Hall of Fame career at the end of this season. The 39-year-old Detroit Tigers star mused on the subject Thursday amid a slump through the dog days of summer. Cabrera joined the 3,000-hit/500-homer club earlier in the season, and was hitting .308 as recently as July 8. Plagued by lower-body problems that have been a constant issue in recent seasons, he entered Thursday hitting .132 with three extra-base hits in his last 20 games. The Tigers came into the season as fringe contenders after a strong finish in 2021, but they have staggered to a 42-65 record with the worst offense in baseball. NFL – National Football League Preseason – Hall of Fame Game Last Night Las Vegas Raiders 28, Jacksonville Jaguars 11 Raiders 28, Jaguars 11 – Raiders give McDaniels happy homecoming, beat Jaguars 27-11 Josh Jacobs and rookie Zamir White ran well on a rain-soaked field and the Raiders routed Jacksonville 27-11 in the Hall of Fame game Thursday night, spoiling coach Doug Pederson’s first game with the Jaguars. Derek Carr, the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback, and Davante Adams, the All-Pro receiver acquired in blockbuster trade with Green Bay, were among many starters who sat out for both teams. Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence wore a backward cap on the sideline while third-string quarterback Jake Luton was started. NFL – Former attorney general to hear appeal of Watson suspension NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has chosen former New Jersey Attorney General Peter C. Harvey to hear the appeal of the six-game suspension for Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. Watson has been suspended by independent disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson, who concluded he violated the league’s personal conduct policy after being accused of sexual misconduct by two dozen women in Texas. The league wants further discipline and appealed Robinson’s ruling. The appeal gave the power back to Goodell to hand down punishment but he instead chose Harvey to hear the appeal. NFL – Attorney urges Goodell to ‘do the right thing’ on Watson A lawyer representing two dozen women who have accused Deshaun Watson of sexual assault or harassment says NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has a chance to “do the right thing” now that the league has appealed a six-game suspension for the quarterback. Attorney Tony Buzbee says “Every victim of sexual assault is watching Roger Goodell and the NFL right now.” The NFL’s appeal of an independent disciplinary officer’s decision gives Goodell or someone he designates the authority to increase Watson’s penalty. Goodell has named former New Jersey Attorney General Peter C. Harvey as his designee to hear the appeal. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Washington Mystics at Chicago Sky, 8:00 p.m. WNBA – WNBA’s Griner convicted at drug trial, sentenced to 9 years A judge in Russia convicted American basketball star Brittney Griner of drug possession and smuggling. She was sentenced to nine years in prison in a politically charged case that could lead to a high-stakes prisoner exchange between Washington and Moscow. Griner showed little emotion to the sentence but her lawyers said later she was “very upset, very stressed.” U.S. President Joe Biden denounced as “unacceptable” the verdict and sentence, which came amid soaring tensions between the U.S. and Russia over Ukraine. Griner had told the court she had no intention to break the law by bringing vape cartridges with cannabis oil when she flew to Moscow to play basketball in the city of Yekaterinburg.

As the MLB Trade Deadline nears, Bernie reacts to the activity, or in the Cardinals' case relative inactivity approaching the deadline. He praises the Cardinals for acquiring Chris Stratton and Jose Quintana and thinks they'll be great fits with the current team.
On today's episode, host Ethan Smith recaps the only trade thus far from the Pirates as the Buccos sent Jose Quintana & Chris Stratton to the St. Louis Cardinals for RHP Johan Oviedo & 3B/1B Malcom Nunez and why the return is much better for the Pirates than Ethan first thought.

Tonight featured an exciting bottom of the 9th inning. Down by 6-runs, the Pirates strung together some clutch hits to make it a 1-run game but ultimately fell short on a Ke'Bryan Hayes fly to right.We have been cautiously encouraged by Zach Thompson this year with his refined pitch mix, but with back to back poor starts it seems as if the Trevor Williams comp we gave a few weeks back is coming closer to fruition. Tonight he gave 7-earned on 11 very hard hits.The offense was silent for most of the game, except for Cal Mitchell who got the scoring started with a big home run. We not only talk his big game, but the recent success Kevin Newman has been having since his return from the IL and what the possibility of a trade for him is like. We also discuss the issues of Chris Stratton and if it makes sense to trade him this year as well.
Today was Liover Peguero's very first MLB start in which he got his very first MLB hit and walk. Being the youngest Pirate since Aramis Ramirez to record a hit he clearly looks the part of a free swinger, but DiNardo talks about how he came away with this game and what at bat really impressed him.Even though the Pirates scored 5 runs, the pitching didn't do its job to secure the lead. Though Jose Quintana pitched well enough, the combo of Wil Crowe and Chris Stratton didn't pitch effectively which helped Giants come away with their 37th victory. Do you put this one on Shelton? Is it just the inadequate depth of the bullpen for this loss? This one may not be like the others.

This episode of ActiveLab is about one couple’s efforts to transform a non-descript, suburban Ranch house into a healthier, more sustainable 21st century home! Over the past few years Wen Lee and Chris Stratton of Temple City have chronicled their largely DIY home renovation project on their blog FrugalHappy.org. While the many upgrades might not be apparent from the outside -- other than the visible solar panels on the roof and vegetable garden replacing the front lawn -- theirs is now one of the most energy-efficient homes in the San Gabriel Valley, a region where most homes remain “dual-fuel”, relying on both methane gas and electricity for power, heating, and cooling.More information, resources, and tips shared in this episode:Sample Watt Reader (to help you measure how much energy devices in your home use) - Kill-A-Watt meterPortable Induction Stove Top recommendations (great way to try out modern induction cooking technology at an affordable price - about $75) - WirecutterWonky building science resource website - Green Building AdvisorSample Indoor Air Quality Monitor (used by Chris and Wen in their home) - IQ Air "Electrify Everything" (popular with some building performance/HVAC contractors) - Facebook Group Living the Green Dream in the SGV (video story of Wen/Chris' project under construction) - SCESample Health StudiesHealthy Home Study (2019) - Avocado Heights / Bassett"Effects of Residential Gas Appliances on Indoor and Outdoor Air Quality and Public Health in California", UCLA Fielding School of Public Health (2020)Philip J.

Chris Stratton and Wen Lee moved into Wen’s childhood home, which was built in 1963. Wen has a background in environmental studies and education, and Chris in building science and architecture. They decided to convert this very typical suburban house into a Net-Zero sustainable house via DIY, which took almost 4 years in total. This was a house in a suburb of Pasadena with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, which looks a like typical suburban ranch style house from the outside. It was a pretty like standard house for this era and it was in fine condition but it wasn’t very energy efficient. There was very little insulation and the air conditioner and furnace were oversized. Their goals were for Chris to learn about the process of home renovation; to reduce the home's carbon footprint (hopefully to net-zero), make it more efficient, pleasant/interesting, and comfortable; and finally to achieve financial viability in terms of value and also reduced living costs.
