Next 14 Games

Post by opti mist »

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!

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.

Too many variables.

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.

Variables.

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.

Cardinals play way better in those away games!

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

My. That’s a Strong assertion. No room for “ error.”

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.
