Q: Commish, the Cards have been flat for most of Sept. What is your bigger concern going into Oct - that the two super stars aren’t hitting or that the rotation lacks a strong one/two punch that the elite teams have?
A: My bigger concern is the 1-2 starting punch at the top. Goldschmidt and Arenado will be better. They have 10 days to get straightened out. But there isn't much way the Cardinals can fix their starting pitching unless Flaherty has another strong game or two.
Q: Is Jose Quintana suddenly the front runner to be the Cardinals post season opener?
