Thru 3 games: .179 BA and next to last in hits and yet...

[Cardinals1964]

...teams keep gifting us runs.

While other teams came to ST ready to hit in bunches, we came ready to ... capitalize on errors? Quite the scoring efficiency that Oli has going so far. Will be interesting to see how this roster shakes in a month.

The pitching is doing a bit better in team ERA but we should probably give them a full run thru the roation at least before looking at much there. This just feels like spring where we could benefit from a host of split squad games like in the 80s to get a lot more players PT at the same time without having to sit on the bench so long between ABs.

LOL...Today they were outhit and had no homeruns and yet they still won. Maybe they're the next iteration of hit-less wonders.

Marmol knows how to produce runs without the long ball. Excellent manager. Unless you’re like 95% of the people that know of spring training doesn’t mean anything. Only people that don’t know a thing about baseball cry about the first three games of the preseason.M

+1 but for some crying and whining is a years long exercise so
They will cry in the offseason when there are no games cry in spring training when players who won’t even be on team are playing and all season long

I heard the saying, you could give somebody a bag of gold and they would complain that it way too much. Now I know what people were talking about. By listening some of the posters here.

I’m predicting more than 200 homers and 200 steals this year.

Hopefully we get 100 + from
Walker 25
Herrera 30
Buerleson 25
Gorman 30

Wow. That is optimistic. I'll be happy if any 2 of them reach those goals.

There is a 95% chance that this team sucks, but why are we acting like 3 ST games matter?

It’s all about confirmation bias.

And here I always heard managers coaches and players say you can’t make mistakes because good teams take advantage of them. If a poster doesn’t like the cardinals though then it’s not the cardinals are being good and taking advantage of other teams mistakes its the cardinals suck and the other team is just gifting the cardinals runs lol

Proclamations about how the team is gonna be based on the first 3 games of ST... jfc they had Single-A guys playing half the game yesterday.

True enough that the games mean very little, but the workings on the field do. These guys are working into shape but they're also trying to get noticed. That means it's not totally irrelevant what happens on the field. It's not to be overblown for sure but not to be discarded either. If a lot of these guys don't do well they won't be on the time when the regular season starts.

I like the way the team is using the running game, however, they’ve done this the last couple of Springs too, only to have Oli put the brakes on when the season starts!
