Cardinals news and notes: Martinez, Lynn, and the Pirates

Here is some stuff that happened on Viva El Birdos over the weekend.

• Ben Markham wrote about Jose Martinez proving himself as more than a quad-A player in 2017 and possibly establishing himself as a viable MLB player going forward.
• The red baron wrote about Lance Lynn and how with the recent poor performances of Adam Wainwright, re-signing him may be a more desirable option than ever.
• In this season in which the line between the major league and minor league teams seem increasingly blurred, keeping up on the minor leagues is increasingly important. Josey Curtis wrote about the last week’s farm system happenings.
• The St. Louis Cardinals played the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend. IHeartBoog recapped Saturday’s 6-4 loss and VanHicklestein wrote about Sunday’s similarly annoying loss.

Enjoy the eclipse today, local eclipse enjoyers.
