The pitches the Cardinals throw.

A lot has been made about the pitch selection of the Cardinals. Some have complained we throw too many high stress pitches and avoid the low-stress stuff. But how does it break down? For the purpose here I am going to combine the % for sliders and cutters. The data from fangraphs doesn't see to match all that well with what pitchers are often said to be throwing. For instance Carp is listed as throwing more sliders than cutters. First lets look at the total team data.

An interesting note came up in a recent game thread. Our pitchers seem to throw fewer changeups than one would expect. To see if this is my imagination or possible real, I looked at the fangraph data for players that changed teams and had reasonable sample sizes with the cards and other teams.

2008 zips are up. Its ugly. The rotation doesn't look pretty and the offense is worse.

We all have opinions when the teams makes big decisions. How did we do after the fact? Be honest

High stikes may be just the ticked for some pitchers.
