I’m happy where the Cardinals are
We enter the season with question marks but not without hope. I’m comfortable with the rotation and having Mathews, Hence and Roby knocking on the door. I like the talent in the pen and believe Maton was a good add. I fully endorse the decision to keep Helsley to close and play to win. Throughout ST we have tended to walk fewer hitters than our opponents and that speaks well for our pitching as well as our hitters’ patience.
Sure the position players need to play better than last year but I have no reason to think they won’t. The look we are getting of Gorman, Scott II and Herrera is encouraging. I don’t worry about Winn or Noot. Willson will be solid at first. Looking for more from Burleson and Donovan and a spark from Walker. I think Koperniak is ready to step up and make the outfield solid at 4 levels.
Can’t wait to see how fast Davis and JJ move thru the minors. Can’t wait to see who we pick at #5 in the draft. Get a little momentum going in ‘25 and maybe Chaim comes thru in next winter’s FA market.
Listen to the naysayers if you want, this could be an encouraging year.

It’s a team for people who loved to eat at Shoney’s.

Very glib. Means nothing. We can win some games and get some traction.
Re: I’m happy where the Cardinals are
I’m encouraged too.
And I doubt Mo and Bloom are done.

New too. Perfect situation for failure to force owner to spend. 60-70 wins and -2m fans will show he needs a $180-$200m payroll team with superstars to get back to the winning tradition. Nothing else will work. Has to be a disaster.hugeCardfan wrote: ↑15 Mar 2025 17:54 pm We enter the season with question marks but not without hope.

Re: I’m happy where the Cardinals are
The cardinals are a pretty badly built team. They need the hitting to be great the starters to be great and the bullpen to be lockdown in order to win 90. It’s not going to happen. They will be a if just about everything goes right like last season they will win a mediocre 80-83 games. If a few things go wrong it’s going to will be a disaster. It’s a reset but a weird reset where they aren’t trying to win or rebuild they are just coasting to mediocrity

I agree 100%. I never have listened to negative people and I never will. It is counterproductive to be a pessimistic loser.hugeCardfan wrote: ↑15 Mar 2025 17:54 pm We enter the season with question marks but not without hope.

Listen to the naysayers if you want, this could be an encouraging year.Plenty of room for Eeyores. Much rides on health and player development. I’m not against counting on a little luck, even some Cardinal pixie dust, but I don’t believe 90-100 losses for a second. Won’t happen.
How stupid they looked.

Re: I’m happy where the Cardinals are
2023 was a watershed year for the doomsayers. It encouraged them to portend doom for ‘24. Being the hapless gamblers they are, it’s ripe for a double down.
