I wonder if "Cards overrated" heads the Cubs Forum posts.

Cardinals haven't had to deal with that thank goodness.
And the Cardinals have lost I. Hererra, their best hitter.

Injuries happen to all teams 11WSC.
I guarantee you if we had loss that many starters in the rotation we'd be a lot worse off.
McGreevy would've taken one spot, he's a s good or better than Pallante, Mikolas and Fedde.

Let see what the scrubbies look like if they lost Tucker or Crow-Armstrong.
We don't know how good or not so good McGreevy is going to be.

His peripherals don't play as far as I'm concerned for more than a back end starter.

Comparing those pitchers to Tucker or Crow-Armstrong is ridiculous.

If the Cardinals had lost that many rotation starts with three starters the season would be over.
I'd be willing to bet he's way batter than Mikolas :wink:

You also fail to mention how much more the scrubbies are spending on payroll too.

Another year of bad baseball and mediocrity.


Last year Cardinals should of been 30-40 under, instead because of how bad the league was, they could of gone on a couple runs and got to .500.This year same stuff, bad baseball, and the bad teams arent much worse than the middling 5-10 games over teams.

obviously rockies n such are the lowest of the low, but you have 20 mediocre to below average teams, cardinals included
Since, say, the 2000 season how many MLB seasons were there in which that^ wasn't true?

Fellas, don't get down on Northsider. He's a good baseball man and makes some valid points. And yes, I DO still fear the Cubs. They knocked around Lance McCollors and the Astros yesterday on the Fox National game. Had to turn it off. It was making me sick to my stomach. We need to keep winning to be able to keep the pressure on the Cubs, And yes, I'm worried about the upcoming 3 game series at Wrigley.

I didn't mention it because the conversation had turned into loss of positional players vs. starting pitching.

I'm not arguing about how the good the Cubs are or aren't my point had to do with the two teams and how the Cardinals would fare if they had loss as many rotation starters as the Cubs especially since the Cardinals have played arguably a tougher schedule to date.

If you want to throw in payroll than yeah the Cardinals are right there just a handful of games back.

Perhaps.

Hopefully the Cardinals don't lose any starting pitchers to injury so we don't find out.

As long as it's not Gray or Libby they'd be fine since McG can give them more than they're getting from Mikolas and Pallante, perhaps from Fedde too.
