How does this team keep winning March games?

[ecleme22]

Maybe because they might be a tic better than 2025

[Cardinals1964]

I'd rather be 15-9 than 9-15...Spring Training or not

Yea. If the were losing the usual whiners would be certain to point at the record. And if they win, it means nothing in spring training or they won in a boring fashion. Some people are just crybabies.

This original post was being sarcastic right?

The same reason why the team will lose September games: because Spring Training games don't predict success.

[Whatashame]

This spring has been all about the pitching. We don’t score much but we have been giving up less. Will that continue, who knows. The pitching has been better than expected.

Ouch

Please no last place repeat finish

Is it just because of the teams aren’t trying and so we are winning by default? Or do we have a chance to win April as well?

Walker is doing nothing.
Saggese and Urias and Hererra have barely played.
Scott and Winn and Pages and Fermin have done nothing with the bat.
Fitts has not been good enough to make the team and Dobbins and Noot are still hurt.

Blaze also did nothing and got way too much playing time.

Meanwhile, Libby, MfGreevey, Pal and May and much of the pen have been nails and Gorman and Baez and Velazquez have had very good numbers. Better than expected. But Baez won’t be on the team and can the others continue this performance once the season starts???

ST doesn’t mean anything by itself but does a 15-9 record indicate anything at all going forward ?

Love that this is pissing you off.

Simple answer to the OP. Most of the best players in MLB were in the WBC.

[kyace]

They did play a lot of games versus the Marlins and Nats.

[jcgmoi]

I assumed they've been winning through strength of character and good personal hygiene.

[ilcubuffs]

Shouldn't a better question be: How could they play so well in ST and suck in June?

That’s some serious projection right there. I’m not (upset). Just curious if once you look at the individual stats over a month if there’s any reason to hope we keep doing (a lot) better than expected into April and so on?

I dont know what to make of your reply, so I have to ask you. Why will they WIN September games?

[RamFan08NY]

Am I mistaken, or by reading this thread, are there a lot of fans pizzzed that the team is playing good baseball?

You aren’t wrong especially those hoping for 90-100 losses this season so they can cry some more like they have all off season
