But is an objective that’s too low for zero even a goal.

"But is an objective that’s too low for zero even a goal." Too heavy of thought without my Blanton's.

Will send to MIT, Harvard, NASA for review. No doubt during todays game will have to turn to adult beverage - then all kinds of brilliance may show up. Will keep you posted.

How many shutouts have the Rockies pitched this year and against who?

That's 2 on the Cardinals.

Can u say- a play to the level of its competition team. The ability to focus a team daily might be the managers greatest duty.
I know you've watched your share of full seasons of MLB. You seem to have forgotten that these kinds of things happen every season, which was Future's point.

makesnosense wrote: 13 Aug 2025 09:36 am It doesn't mean anything. No more than the winning record against the Dodgers does. The Cardinals are not as bad as the Rockies or as good as the Dodgers. Not close to either in that regard. It's baseball and a long season.
The Rocks are 31-88…..a .261 winning %…..on 8/13
And the Cardinals can’t score ANY runs against this team and are in danger of having a losing record for the season???
This is on the manager and coaching staff!!! Not prepared, can’t get team up to play…..whatever
It’s unacceptable
Some of you were trumpeting the fact that they took 2 of 3 from Cubs and Dodgers……well where has that team gone.
With Cubs and Dodgers being no where near as dominant as Rocks are BAD
What a dilettante. Just let it go. You don't know as much as you try to let on that you do. None of what you say is important or relevant.

Yes. It happens. Forgetting. I’m just along for the CT ride. Maybe I can encourage conversation with occasional wit, a silly song, or a hey what’s up.

But that's a .500 record!

Playing at or above .500 ball is the gold standard for some on here. The tiresome Matheny debate showed that.

This is inexcusable. Total dumb[ash] construction of a roster. This is the St Louis Cardinals. This isn't some low-rent organization with no fans base. But DeWitt acts like they're some poverty group. Spend some money, old man! Stop running the organization like the [fork]ing White Sox.
