McGreevy is pitching Saturday and I’d like to see him win his game. But if he doesn’t take the loss, wouldn’t mind seeing the Cards lose all the games. Draft position does matter and the Cards need all the help they can get to help replenish the minors. And if we can climb into the top 5 in the first round, great.

I hope the Cubs save some runs for the rest of the series.

Oh there’s plenty more runs for Chicago and very very few for Cards this weekend
Nobody can lose better than Oli can

No. Losing to the cubs is worse than getting a slightly lesser draft order.
Also its a lottery so it won't necessarily even make a difference. And we are probably blocked from picking top 10 because we did pick top 10 the past 2 years and there's now a blacklisting rule to prevent tanking and picking high year after year.

Well, there’s one.
Fitting that Mikolas is the guy to lock down the second losing season in the last three years.

Time to move on from the likes of Nootbar, Walker, Gorman. Some thinking that next year will be the year one or all have monster years. It's not happening.

Dubbies 12 - Cards 1.
Does not require added effort to lose the 2025 way. Just play Marmot pretend MLB.

If today's game is an indication that's exactly what they are doing.

I feel like I am living the Rams years all over ago. Keep losing for a better draft pick. Look where that turned out. Rams are now in LA. Cardinals attendance is down about a million in 2 years. Where will the Cardinals go - Nashville, Portland, Salt Lake City, Orlando?
This weekend doesn't matter but I sure hope that we see some winning next year. I want to see the fans back. People complain about the safety downtown. A lot of downtown has been bad for years but around Busch Stadium was very safe when the Cardinals were winning and attendance was high. I would like to see that return very soon.
