Re: Cardinals #2 in MLB -vs- teams above .500
Here’s some good news. Soon by the 50 game mark, we will be done with Mets Phillies and Tigers. That’s 33 percent of the league leaders.rockondlouie wrote: ↑15 May 2025 08:58 am Don't look now but very quietly the Cardinals are the #2 team in MLB -vs- teams with records above .500!

If we can beat the weak, hold service against the better, we will maintain .500 plus.

Cubs have also played a tough schedule and it will be noticeably weaker next few weeks.
So far Cards are holding their ground.
Ahead of this 9 game road trip I would have gladly taken 5-4.
Already done at 5-1 so far.
If nothing else hanging in contention will give us a better indicator of the young guys.
Playing meaningless games won’t tell us as much!

Great comment- indicator of the young. Exactly. And if we tank, also a good view of attitude during adverse times.Cusecards wrote: ↑15 May 2025 09:32 amYou beat me to it!sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑15 May 2025 09:07 amHere’s some good news.

The reset is well ahead of expectations.

As long as they stay healthy and don't sell-off (Helsley-Fedde-NADO), then they've got a shot at the NLC and playoffs.

I'd think a team has to STILL be above .500 to qualify TODAY.
Wouldn't make sense to count say a win over the Pirates in week one when they were 2 - 1.
But I really don't know their criteria.

I've had a blast going to the stadium this season and there's a different vibe than there was last year, people not going are missing out as this is a fun team.

3-0 vs Minnesota

0-4 vs NYM
2-1 vs NYM
2-1 vs Philly
So we’ve won 5 of our 6 series vs current teams above .500.

Holds well IF they can make the playoffs!
And may I add the early bullpen woes (hello R. Fernandez and pre-new grip JoJo) early on cost them two games vs the Mets where one game was tied 4-4 and another tied 3-3 late only to see the pen' blow both games.
I wish we had games left w/the Mutts instead of them getting that 4 game set in Gotham before the pen' was fixed.

Re: Cardinals #2 in MLB -vs- teams above .500
A record of 11-8. That closeness is indicative of a post season series. One game generally seperate the winner from loser.Futuregm2 wrote: ↑15 May 2025 10:14 amGoing by where they are at right now.rockondlouie wrote: ↑15 May 2025 10:10 amNot sure scouty, took straight off MLB.com standings as of today.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑15 May 2025 10:06 amare they going by today's records or when the teams played them?rockondlouie wrote: ↑15 May 2025 08:58 am Don't look now but very quietly the Cardinals are the #2 team in MLB -vs- teams with records above .500!

Re: Cardinals #2 in MLB -vs- teams above .500
They stay healthy they are better than anyone in the Central. Too bad they lost 4 in extra innings. Their Pythagoras record would give them 95 wins over 162 games.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑15 May 2025 10:22 amA record of 11-8. That closeness is indicative of a post season series.

I'm excited because the young players are coming into their despite Nado driving in only 65 runs this year and the SP suggest they could win at a 95 win clip. Too bad Winn and Contreras started off real slow and Herrera was injured for 30 days. Thank God Burly is in a hot spell and Walker can at least play RF will well. Scott is a game changer with feet and glove.
