It’s not entertainment to go to two games this week and they can’t even score a run

The Cardinals aren’t spending money on the Cardinals - why should the fans?

This. The organization (DeWitts and Mozeliak) have done everything they can to alienate the fanbase. Arrogance, condescending attitudes, and veiled threats (on spending if attendance drops). Now, this half-[ashed] reset nonsense. Chaim Bloom has a tough job ahead.

The Cardinals scored 0 runs in 8 of their last 29 games. So why would fans pay good $$ to come to games where nearly 1/3 of the last 30 saw NOT ONE Cardinal runner cross homeplate scoring a run . That is NOT entertainment.

Perhaps they are wise enough to not buy a poor product?

And 5 of those shutouts came vs. the mighty Pirates and Marlins. Shut out by the likes of Heaney and Quantrill.

As I wrote elsewhere, the days of open the gates and the fans open their wallets are long gone.

Baseball fans are different than football fans. In football, there's 17 games. Going to fill the stadium for the experience every week. Win or lose.

Baseball, entirely different. The season is saturated. Multiple games on tv every night of the week. If your team is bad, you stay home and either watch a game on tv, or find something else you'd rather spend your time and money on.

A losing season, a weak roster. The Cardinals playing the Marlins. Would you expect a large crowd?

Lmao
Daze - if a certain poster mentions section 148, how heat affects older people, or the soccer team, all he’s doing is stalking and trolling. Which he’s been warned not to do by the powers to be. Do you want to participate in that? I thought you were far above it.
