Re: Cardinals can't win a game BUT
If we’d just won the last 4 games this week that we lost, we’d be in playoff position right now. It was that close.vegascardsfan5890 wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 19:02 pm Somehow keep gaining ground in the wild card hahaha

Didn’t help that we traded half our pen and refused to bring up JJW.

Cards aren't exactly trying to lose, but they sold off at the deadline. Not so with the Mets.

Re: Cardinals can't win a game BUT
Well they did the smart thing. It would have been dumb to keep them hoping the Mets have an epic collapse really dumb. And it’s not like helsley and maton would be helping helsley has collapsed and maton had been meh and if they kept them svanson and O’Brien would still be riding the Memphis shuttle instead of being on the team contributing consistentlycardinalsfever44 wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 20:05 pmDid the Mets buy or sell at the trade deadline?Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 20:00 pmNeither are the cardinalsCarp4Cy wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 19:53 pmDifference is, they aren’t trying to loseOzziesfan41 wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 19:48 pmAnd if Mets won last four cards would be 8 outCarp4Cy wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 19:16 pmIf we’d just won the last 4 games this week that we lost, we’d be in playoff position right now.

Re: Cardinals can't win a game BUT
I begged to differ. We traded half of our bullpen for players that aren’t on the major league roster. And our GM refuses to bring up JWW who could arguably produce a lot more than our existing left side of the infield.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 20:00 pmNeither are the cardinalsCarp4Cy wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 19:53 pmDifference is, they aren’t trying to loseOzziesfan41 wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 19:48 pmAnd if Mets won last four cards would be 8 outCarp4Cy wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 19:16 pmIf we’d just won the last 4 games this week that we lost, we’d be in playoff position right now.

Re: Cardinals can't win a game BUT
So they were supposed to be dumb and keep those pitchers two of which wouldn’t be helping much anyway in the hope and prayer that the Mets epically collapse? They still have four teams ahead of themCarp4Cy wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 20:14 pmI begged to differ. We traded half of our bullpen for players that aren’t on the major league roster.

If Jesus Baez doesn’t turn into a winner, then it won’t be THAT smart. It will just be doing what the iPad said to do.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 20:09 pmWell they did the smart thing.

Meanwhile, I don’t subscribe to the belief that Helsley would have the same stats in Aug if he remained in St. Louis instead of uprooting his life and moving across the country. He wanted to stay here for a reason. Maybe Home cooking means more to him than we can understand.
We can never know for sure, but that’s my thought
Re: Cardinals can't win a game BUT
Fairpoint. Maybe he’s our Trojan horse. We still should’ve brought up JJW weeks ago.vegascardsfan5890 wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 20:16 pm Trading Helsley might be the reason we are STILL in the playoff race

Re: Cardinals can't win a game BUT
They’ve been torching his fastball all season he was incredibly lucky getting by on just his slider and even that he was still giving up a lot of base runners and squeaking by with just his slider it was only a matter of time before they figured out his only pitch and started hitting it to and they didCarp4Cy wrote: ↑13 Sep 2025 20:20 pmIf Jesus Baez doesn’t turn into a winner, then it won’t be THAT smart.
