Next 14 Games
Arizona, Anaheim, Arizona, Reds, Cubs. Predictable 10-4, putting the Cardinals 11 games over .500 at the trade deadline.
I would be in favor of staying pat at that time.
Why not?

You both have been in my stash again. We are a .500 plus team. Means around eight wins.

You all are being conservative, definitely 14-0.

Look at the opponents, other than the scrubbies there's no world beater teams in this stretch and some very sweep-able one's too!sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑13 Jul 2026 11:42 amYou both have been in my stash again. We are a .500 plus team. Means around eight wins.

I did. Then did the math. 8-6 is a fine position. All it takes to get a loss is to run into a teams ace. Or a hot pitcher.rockondlouie wrote: ↑13 Jul 2026 12:08 pmLook at the opponents, other than the scrubbies there's no world beater teams in this stretch and some very sweep-able one's too!sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑13 Jul 2026 11:42 amYou both have been in my stash again.

Re: Next 14 Games
This team is too unpredictable to predict anything. Lost 2 of 3 to the Royals. And 2 of 3 to Miami at home.
And the Reds now have Hunter Greene back. And playing in that pinball ballpark in Phoenix is seldom easy.

Whats wrong with 8-6. About.550 ball. Many of the 14 away. Teams coming off days off. Mechanics slower. Not quite in same mental frame of mind.rockondlouie wrote: ↑13 Jul 2026 12:18 pmC'mon BDogsikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑13 Jul 2026 12:11 pmI did. Then did the math. 8-6 is a fine position.

You want journey. Hes one no one has ever heard. Reminds me of this team.
Daydream- Journey- “ yes! Those bright diamonds once were stones; rollin down a silver stream. Yes! Those bright diamonds once was stones!”
I think of our young as stines in that river- will they become diamonds.

Their offense (Road: .251 .331 .418 .749) especially which is #2 in runs/game in MLB only behind the Dodgers.

When you are proven correct, an 11-3, we should be squarely in the WC hunt with 50 to go.
What do you make of that.

7-7.
May and Jo Jo are history.
Likely Noot is moved.
There will be holes, and I do not see the oitching holding up.
