34,000 for the Dodgers on a Saturday

[ScotchMIrish]

That's 8,000 fewer than the Cardinals averaged for 81 games in Matheny's last season.

[Jatalk]

Totally different circumstances and ownership has to realize one reason for that many is due to Dodgers.

However nice see some folks at game.

Where is the great Mike Matheny managing today?

And, at the same time, a vast improvement over what we have been seeing.

Yes you’ve proven beyond doubt that Mike Matheny was the main draw for attendance.

As long as they don't have another epic mid-season collapse like last year, attendance will continue to climb. And considering there's no longer 3-4 dead-weight vets clogging up daily roster spots, I think their chances of not collapsing are marginally improved.

I said from the beginning, I think the team will either win 90+ or lose 100+. Could still go either way but looking further on the bright side each day.

WE were 5 games over .500 at the all star break and attendance was poor. About the same record as Matheny's last season when we averaged 42,000.

Where is the great Mike Matheny managing today?

He had bleeding in the brain.

I guess that could explain why he was such a bad manager.

34,000 is a major uptick from some recent games.

And what does Matheny have to do with anything right now? He's gone and ain't coming back.

Have you ever seen the video of his ab when he takes a fastball straight to the mouth?...dude doesn't even flinch...just spits out the blood like no big deal...

Perspective. 34,000 for a Saturday game with nice weather and the Dodgers who are a big draw. Matheny's last season 42,000 per game and the team had a winning record but didn't make the playoffs.

Trivia question. What Cardinals managers with at least 7 years of service never had a losing record?

I’m guessing a lot of that had to do with Shildt’s 20 win August.

He loves Matheny for weird religious reasons. He's been clinging to the "but over .500 record" for years. It's quite bizarre and hilarious. He's been educated countless times on why Matheny wasn't a good manager.
