They need to rack up some sweeps to even be in the conversation.

Shoot, we've already got 2 of the 5 losses we need. Should be a piece of cake to get the rest of it.

Well, they need to win 10 straight now to hit 11-5 Good luck!

I have no idea where all this optimism comes from after we saw the same team go 5-13 against the Pirates, Cubs, Nats, Braves, D-Backs and Rockies during an earlier 18-game stretch before which great things were predicted by some.

37 games left. To win just 86, they'll need to go 25-12.

12-25 is much more likely.
This pathetic squad is not going to finish above 500.

Well right now they’re 1-5 in the first 6 games.

Just need to win 10 in a row to get right back in it!

Winning each of the series

Of course 12-4 would be bonus if one of thr series is swept

If the Cards can win each series thru the 27th , they could close in on the wildcard .
The Reds series then follows on the 29th.
They could be very close with September’s 27 games remaining.
Go Cards !
The other five NL playoff teams are rooting for it also.

Correct 😂

7% chance at wild card

Ain’t happening
Let’s check the % number at the end of
August. Odds change quickly in baseball.
Yeah let’s check those odds on Aug 18

How about 2%

Well, we're 15 games into this stretch, and they are now 5-10 after losing 2 of 3 to the Pirates and 5 of their last 6 vs. the Pirates. Yes, the Pirates.

Blow this up.

Don't think anyone expected Donovan , Arenado, and Scott to all be out at same time during this entire stretch in August . 1/3 of the starting lineup is shelved .
That has doomed this team big time.

They went 5-13 earlier against the Pirates, Cubs, Nats, Braves, D-Backs and Rockies. They're kind of short on excuses.

I’m thinking they may not win 11 more games this year.

28 games left -- 18 against teams over .500. And 6 more are against the Giants, who are now a half game ahead of the Cardinals.

Oh, well, it doesn't matter. Here's hoping Bloom makes major changes, but improvement will take time. Right now, there is no ace or No. 2 pitcher and no MOTO bat of any significance. That's a big problem.
