So- 260 percent downgrade in second wildcard. 40 percent downgrade in games behind, good gain in run differential, ten percent improvement in runs scored.

Ok I see .500 ish.

Treading water won’t keep the customers happy anymore.

Go to cardinals.com, plenty of good sections available.

I was very surprised to see them w/the exact same record after 95 games BDog even w/a better offense (+38 runs scored) and slightly better pitching (-12 fewer runs against).

And they're in a worse spot in 2025 per the NLC and the WC race than they were in 2024 as well.

Imagine that seating chart come August if they selloff players and fall well behind in the NLC/WC chase.

Imagine what adding a little talent could do to this team.

Imagine what adding a little talent could do to this team.

I’ve been saying similar. If ndeed a reset, we have a lot to be excited about reference role players. Need a real league level Ace, and one serious thumper. That makes us competitive.

And if Herrera or Walker bloom, we are there.

I'd bet on one of them, guess which one?

I know. But we are talking about a complete to compete team. Gotta add to an exciting young group. If they add, and Herrera comes alive, that’s two bats. That’s competitive. If Walker comes alive, then it’s power.

We ain’t far away, but things need to go our way some.

Walker is nothing more than a "hope" player now, I'm not counting on him ever being a power source.

That one power bat & FOTR starter is going to be very hard to come by unless C. Bloom can pull a rabbit out of his hat.

Tyler O’Neil? That dude is a can’t miss guy. He reminds me of Bader. Or Thomas. Or Carlson. Or Piscotty. Or ……. About 10 other guys Moe has been screwing with over the last decade. Worst judge of talent in the league.

Tend to agree, he is looking absolutely in over his head, maybe he can turn the corner like Jo Adell did. And Jo is 26, Walker has a few years. But man Walker stinks

Sure hope so, we need an "Adell" like turnaround but honestly I'm not counting on him.

Let's hope Hererra's not made of the same glass TO was made of, he's the real deal at the plate and we need that RH'd bat!
