Yes, but I'm plagued by poor command.

You sound like a St. Louis Cardinal already!

I remember our pitchers giving up only 2 runs in the first 8 innings of both games combined. And our 3-4 hitters who were 1 and 3 in the MVP that year being awful in the 2 games.Talkin' Baseball wrote: ↑20 Jun 2025 13:45 pm...and were completely irrelevant.

We didn't accomplish all of those things by being satisfied with the dog and pony show we've seen for the past 10 years.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑20 Jun 2025 14:00 pmFailures by Nado and Oldy.

Many an MLBs fan base would welcome having the horror of being a Cards fan with all their history and long runs of winning records, WS, playoffs, Hall of Fame players

I didn't communicate that well. By "We", I mean the Cardinals organization, not TB or Scouty. I was citing what I believe to be low organizational standards and performance and settling for mediocrity. If you feel differently about it, that's fine.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑20 Jun 2025 14:09 pmHow does your satisfaction do anything to help or hinder the Cards or their impressive history?Talkin' Baseball wrote: ↑20 Jun 2025 14:06 pmWe didn't accomplish all of those things by being satisfied with the dog and pony show we've seen for the past 10 years.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑20 Jun 2025 14:00 pmFailures by Nado and Oldy.

It's a business of entertainment. You are entitled to absolutely nothing.

Exactly. It was our superstars who disappointed. We were only irrelevant because we couldn't get a little timely hitting. The team that beat us went to the WS. The above description of our helplessness was disingenuous.Futuregm2 wrote: ↑20 Jun 2025 13:48 pmI remember our pitchers giving up only 2 runs in the first 8 innings of both games combined.
