He's currently batting .500 for the Cardinals. Of course.

Umm, ok.
The source is Rob Bradford with WEEI Boston, which you would have known from reading the article.
Anyways, clubhouse cancer blah blah blah. He was stuck on what turned out to be a bad team. Some people hate losing more than they love winning. If he's a "cancer" he'll be cut.
I don't like to sound egotistical, but every time I stepped up to the plate with a bat in my hands, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the pitcher.

I think their pitchers are probably used to having low strikes get called strikes and some of their difficult pitches blocked, so there might be a problem shortly even if he hits.

In fact, the first sign that Pierzysnki might be a problem for San Francisco came immediately after the trade’s announcement. To say the Twins players were happy with it would be an understatement. This went beyond the classic, “Great trade! Who’d we get?” reaction. The players all but united to form a giant conga line across Minnesota. My goodness they hated that man

I haven't seen this much Cardinal Envy in one thread in quite some time.
I hate the Cardinals too...don't get me wrong. But all they do is go out, get the players they need, and win championships.
The Reds players were REALLY hoping for some mid-season help from Bob and Walt. They didn't get it. So now they are mailing it in because they don't think they have the horses to finish the race. And they are correct. Heisey-Shumacher-Pena just ain't gonna get it done.
When was the last time the Reds even won a playoff series? 1995? Those silly Cardinals have only been to the World Series a lousy 4 times since 1995.
I guess it makes everyone feel better to poke fun at what the Cardinals are doing. But to me, it looks like the same thing they have been doing every other year. Making moves to win championships. But hey...as a lifelong Reds and Bengals fan, I get it:
Some teams find a way. Other teams find a way to make excuses.

He ranks 4th in PBWP (Passed Ball Wild Pitch) runs saved in 2014 behind only Carlos Ruiz, Anthony Recker, and Jonathon Lucroy according to Baseball Prospectus.
