I was so skeptical of the Cards before this year and wondered if my interest would wane. But..
This team has been really fun to watch!

I always thought the cardinals would be better than expected I’m surprised their bullpen isn’t better but I knew the rotation would be better and thought the offense would be better I was totally wrong about the bullpen but I thought they would be better than .500

Mozeliak did a nice job putting this team together.

yup
it's Svanson
13.97 ERA

a 1-2-3 inning brings those numbers down

What's the leash on Svanson here? It's gotta be a quick hook

I don't like bringing in Svanson at all in a game you're trying to win. But if you're going to bring him in with 6-run lead, don't do it again the heart of the order and risk giving them hope to get back in this game, Oli!
