Next ten. Eleventh edition.
Good morning.
We have gone-
5-5
7-3
5-5
6-4
6-4
3-7
7-3
3-7
5-5
4-6.
Our first losing block was six. We went 29-21 first five blocks. We are 23-28 last five blocks.
We have six, count them six, 4 game losing streaks. That’s hard to believe with a decent staff. Six!
One 6 game winning streak. That’s our longest.
1-0 this block. Next nine-
DBacks x 1
Reds x 3
Cubs x 3
Blue jays there x 2.
Hey men. Only five blocks to go!

Re: Next ten. Eleventh edition.
Thank you sir. The part that is chaffing me is six losing streaks? Of 4 games. It’s not the four games. It’s that 80 percent of our staff could not stop a losing streak- 6 times!

Re: Next ten. Eleventh edition.
The pen hasn’t helped. I’d like to know how many games we lead or were tied after five innings.moose-and-squirrel wrote: ↑23 Jul 2026 09:08 amyoung-ish staff... guess that'll happen. uneven bullpen doesn't help eithersikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑23 Jul 2026 09:05 amThank you sir.

Then how many times we gave up that lead in the final four. Too deep for me, but I’d bet after five is where we lose many games.
Nice research paper.

Re: Next ten. Eleventh edition.
With you. ‘Dog. In 1960, when the Pirates won it all, their longest losing streak was four and they did that only once. Harry thought that a remarkable statistic. Here we are wit SIX already.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑23 Jul 2026 09:05 amThank you sir. The part that is chaffing me is six losing streaks? Of 4 games. It’s not the four games.

Big game tonight, hoping for a good game from May for several reasons. Rivalries have been lessoned with interleague play in my opinion.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑24 Jul 2026 11:37 amYes. 1-1. After another winnable game. Now division rivals- Reds and Cubs.
My favorite type of baseball - rivalry.

Yes. I’m not a fan of inter league. Yes rivalry has been diminished. Remember when we played each rivalry 19?games a year. 76 games against the division.OldRed wrote: ↑24 Jul 2026 11:41 amBig game tonight, hoping for a good game from May for several reasons.

Re: Next ten. Eleventh edition.
I know I'm older than you, but before expansion the Cardinals played everyone 22 games a season. 7x22 = 154 game season. At that time all the teams you played were a rivalry. Talking of expansion, Branch Rickey had the best idea with the Continental League where there would be 3 8 team leagues competing for the WS.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑24 Jul 2026 11:46 amYes.

22 is huge- but it probably was a purer way to determine the over all seasons bests.OldRed wrote: ↑24 Jul 2026 11:52 amI know I'm older than you, but before expansion the Cardinals played everyone 22 games a season. 7x22 = 154 game season.

Re: Next ten. Eleventh edition.
I thought the best schedule setup was the period from the 1969 expansion through the 1993 season. Each league had two divisions, East and West, with each division consisting of six teams. No interleague play. You played 18 games vs each of your five division opponents…9 home and 9 road…and 12 games each vs the 6 teams in the other division, 6 home and 6 road.

Yes. That’s the one I remember. Very well run. And seemed representative.mutigers1987 wrote: ↑24 Jul 2026 13:11 pm I thought the best schedule setup was the period from the 1969 expansion through the 1993 season.

Re: Next ten. Eleventh edition.
3-7 team is falling apart. Honestly trying to find 3 wins is hard. 1 each vs Reds, Cubs, and Jays maybe? I could see cubs sweeping though
