Oh, good Red. So they looked like a Major League team today? Guess when they lose they're a AAA team and when they take 2 out of 3 from the Dodgers they "really looked good". It's like a yoyo.

Check the standings.

I do, Red, every day. There are roughly the same about of ML teams with a worse record than the Cardinals, as there are those with a better record. Which means they're an average ML team, not a AAA team.

Boy, this really bothers you for some reason, doesn’t it?

Yes, rat, when someone calls my favorite team a “AAA” team when 1/2 of the major league teams have worse records, the faulty logic rubs me the wrong way. And then compounds it by saying my favorite team may not be better than all the teams with worse records. It obviously bothers another poster too. Why aren’t you addressing that other poster too?

Cranny you need your own forum where no one can have an opinion different than yours.

So Cranny just up until recently the home team was starting 2 fellas who were essentially BP pitchers and the very bottom of the league statiscally
2/5th of rotation kept running them out there. Might not have been able to beat a AA team on most nights…..
One of those fellas is still here…..every 5th day
2/3 of OF on any given game has talent interchangeable with AAA players
The Catchers are AAA players
3b had a washed up Allstar who is new on “IL” replaced by a AAA player
3 ML’s were just traded out of the BP and replaced by minor leaguers

So how is this not a AAA club?

Because I'm able to recognize hyperbole when I read it, which you clearly are not. You'd think at your age you'd have learned not to take criticism of your favorite team so personally.

We must have the best manager in the history of the game then to have them at a .500 record and having won the season series vs the Dodgers and Phillies.

Then you have no patience with guys who are adjusting to the majors, Goldfan? Most players aren’t effective until they’ve gotten their feet on the ground. Let’s take an example, Liberatore.


2022 - 34.2 innings / 5.97 ERA
2023 - 61.2 innings / 5.25 ERA
2024 - 86 innings / 4.40 ERA
2025 - 113 innings / 3.98 ERA

I notice you didn’t include him in your major league players. Is he a AAA pitcher?

Isnt this the very definition of a AAA team. The literally told all fans that half a team of young players will be given the Entire year to prove if they are MLB material…..
Well looking at the stat lines…..I’d have to say Red was right……it’s a AAA team or a poor ML team.
