[Denton] #STLCards RHP Miles Mikolas on opening vs. the #Dodgers : “We’re not exactly a low payroll team, but you got the Dodgers playing checkbook baseball. We’re going to be the hardest working group of Midwestern farmers we can be. … It would be great to stick it to the Dodgers.”

  1. Lol, nothing screams, midwest farmer, about a bunch of millionaires, most of which not from the midwest.

    I like the sentiment non the less, whatever motivates you.

  2. Yeah the historically piss-poor, small-time cardinals…

    Dodgers have the 9th highest payroll in the league, it’s not like they’re just buying every player on their roster

  3. As bothersome as it is to see the major market teams dump entire central division teams payroll’s on one free agent.. ESPN and baseball pundits gushing over whome ever. Then only to have all that spending be all for not… Effectively out of the big dance in the middle of August. Ask the Angels if dumping all that money into free agent contracts thru the years to help the fish… If that helped them make a run

    Hmm. But.. but. It works in MLB the show and on paper🙄.

  4. Miles Mikolas calling himself a Midwest farmer would be like Freddie Freeman saying he has Chicano pride lmao

  5. To be fair, the Dodgers consistently have a top 10 rated farm system too. They spend well and develop well

  6. You shouldn’t resort to invoking the yeomanry before June. In March you should still have lots of fresh excuses.

  7. Is every single cardinals related quote the most insufferable thing I’ll read that day?

  8. Is it really baseball season before someone informs the world how correct the Cardinals are at the whole baseball thing? 

  9. I’m sure 1000 people will make a similar comment, but as a guy whose family on both sides were family farmers, someone making ~$20 million to throw a baseball is so comically out of touch with a statement like this that it feels like “Tell me you are privileged and have lost touch with the real world without telling me you are privileged and have lost touch with the real world.”

    He can just, like, play baseball and cash his check and say he’s going to work hard and leave it at that. He has way more in common with Shohei than he does with a regular farmer in the midwest.
