Rays Shock Fans with Stunning Season Opener Victory Over Cardinals—What’s Next?
The Cardinals are going to be a bad team. They went through most of the offseason trying to unload any talent that won’t be around for many years. I do think they’ve done a good job of trying to rebuild. There are only a few guys who they want to keep and see a future with. I’m sure some guys will be expendable around the trade deadline as well. It really doesn’t matter at the moment, but I want to provide you some context into what the Cardinals are thinking. I’m not insinuating they will throw games by any means. They will try to be competitive, but most of their efforts will be around development for the future instead of this year. They turn their season to Matthew Liberatore to kick it off. He went 8-12 last season with a 4.21 ERA, and a 1.31 WHIP. He has faced more Rays hitters – seven of them. Collectively, they’ve gone 1-for-15, and the one hit was a single. He was better at home last season than he was on the road, but still had a 3.93 ERA.
