So what? I didn't hear anyone giving them a pass when they were losing games in the middle of that brutal schedule in April. Beat up on bad teams, play .500-ish around the good teams.

Think I saw a graphic today citing that with RISP & 2 outs the team is batting .280 +

The team is HOT!

No team will sustain that kind of BA with RISP but sure is fun to watch a stretch of it !

Why except the 2 of 3 from the Mets?

We'll be in the lion's den the next 3. Let's see if we can win one or two from the Philistines.

Already have once this year at home. Now do it on the road

It not just who you play but it's when you play them. Lesser teams often go on streaks and beat the better teams.

Next Philly KC and Detroit. Business will be picking up.

As teams mature, they tighten up and play better against better competition. It seemed like the good Cardinal teams of old were like that. So if they're really any good, they will do that. If not, I enjoyed this nice stretch of winning. Sucking all the time wears on you.

The performance level of players on each team is minimal. It’s a matter of execution. Nothing more. 8 games on any sport is fun, but at the pro level , it’s noteworthy.

EXACTLY, it would be like the Sikeston Bulldogs playing Malden all the time. Ya it’s wins but not impressive.

“Wins but not impressive.” What an interesting statement.

Not nitpicking? That's like the person who comes up to you and says " i hate to bother you" then goes onto bother you.

He should have said “with all due respect”

He LEGALLY could have said whatever he wanted from that point on

We've beaten some top pitchers this year. Very encouraging.
