Actually all teams have holes for the most part.
So far they seem on the verge of filling some nicely.
We all knew the roster would be fluid for 2026 at least.
I am also anxious to see some of the other prospects looming in the Minors.
But I TRUST the FO to know WHEN the time is right to promote them!
I think their INSIGHT is much better than mine or anyone else here who has a view from their living room!

Re: Order dead spots
There are only 5 teams in the Major Leagues with a better record than the Cardinals. When they start losing at a regular clip, then it will be time to make changes.
I'm usually the one complaining, but I like winning. I don't care if is 2 -1 or 6 - 0 it is still a win.

And perhaps there would be only 1 team with a better record if those spots were more robust. Again why stop attempting to improve?OldRed wrote: ↑09 May 2026 09:15 amThere are only 5 teams in the Major Leagues with a better record than the Cardinals.

My God you are off the deep end this morning. Just be thankful how well they are playing and winning with a team not many thought would be this good in early May. When the winning drops off, then make changes.Goldfan wrote: ↑09 May 2026 09:19 amAnd perhaps there would be only 1 team with a better record if those spots were more robust.

The last time I looked, Mo is long gone. And this team sure does look better so far under Bloom's direction.Goldfan wrote: ↑09 May 2026 09:17 amThe Trust in MO Crowd……2ninr wrote: ↑09 May 2026 09:13 amPreach it brotherCusecards wrote: ↑09 May 2026 08:52 am The Cards certainly have “holes”.

Re: Order dead spots
JAGesse too
I'm not a big P. Pages fan either but to be fair he's in there for his defense.
Throwing out 32% of the runners who attempt to steal.
The only catchers in the majors who have a higher Fielding Run Value than Pages this season are Patrick Bailey (Giants) and Dillon Dingler (Tigers.) FanGraphs’ defensive rating for catchers puts Pages 5th among 52 big-league catchers that have caught at least 100 innings this season. Pages is in the 92nd percentile in the Statcast caught stealing above average metric; that means he’s better than 92 percent of major-league catchers at throwing out runners. ---per Bernie

Either you’re content with the .189 hitting CF or you think the team can do better.

Not ok to have a Binky in your mouth and whine/cry/throw a temper tantrum.

Re: Order dead spots
why is a team that is not in first place, now a plenty good enough team that shouldnt replace players who need to be? First place, home field advantage playoff..no longer goals for some reason. Why should the development of players stop for some positions with non mlb players in a season dedicated to developing players. Its like hey got half the job done, lets stop.
