50th win

[Red Bird Classic]

kinda like March madness ... and look how successful that is!

To my knowledge, there has never been a barely .500 team win the title

.500 teams don’t even make the tournament…

Don't know what you consider "barely .500," but the 2006 Cardinals won only 83 games (.516).

8 teams in the NL have 50 wins or more

Yau

Getting our 50th win in yesterday’s game was tied for the fastest to 50 wins that we have been there since 2015

2025 94th game
2022 94th game ***playoffs***
2016 94th game
2024 95th game
2019 96th game ***playoffs***
2018 98th game
2021 100th game ***playoffs***
2017 101st game
2023 115th game

During our dominant run from 2011-2015, we were

2015 74th game
2014 92nd game
2013 84th game
2012 95th game
2011 94th game

2006 89th game
2005 79th game
2004 82nd game

On pace for 86 Wins...Yay!! Just like last year

Not to split hairs but last yr 83 wins. On pace for 86 but that’s assuming duplicate performance from first half. Even a couple modest moves or addition by subtraction and lighter 2nd half schedule could still make a 90 win season attainable. Doubt they’d make a run though unless they make a bigger deadline splash.

My bad. Thanks for the correction

Is the schedule lighter? I haven't looked

I think they are an 86'win team, at best

[rockondlouie]

40 - 28 get the Birds' to 90 wins and likely a playoff spot.

Tough road given Mikolas, Fedde and Pallante take the ball every fifth day unless one or more is dealt.

But you never know, one long winning streak and it's doable!

[Carp4Cy]

74th game is strong. 50-24.

I was thinking the same thing. That team was in Beast mode!!

I actually miss the Matheny teams.

We haven't played the Rockies yet while most of our rivals have. That's 5 or 6 wins if we don't stub our toe.

Have we played the Padres? Gigantes? Still play Dodgers and Yanks, Crew, Scrubs

I guess I miss the Matheny teams too. Except, well, I don't miss Matheny.

They are now on pace to win 86 games. Much better than expected by me, but would it be enough to make the playoffs?

And that's not accounting for zero pitching injuries so far. How long can that last?

Hopefully only until Mikolas and Fedde accidentally run into each other this weekend and both go on the IL.

Be tough

How many games did that Shildt team run off in 2021, 17 in a row?

I wouldn't place any money on that happening again either.

Well we are 39-29 in our last 68 games, so it’s a game better than what we’ve been playing.

What they do at the deadline will certainly change things.

For sure

BDWJr has told Mo he'd add payroll if they're still in contention, let's see what they do in the coming weeks.

.489 opponents win% - 23rd ranked strength of schedule. Also 5 more home vs road games. They could have a stronger 2nd half especially if they do something decent at deadline.
