A realist.

Ten days ago a lot of these same posters where no where to be found.

there we go, thats what I have been waiting for, winning drives these people underground for a while but not to worry the first time the cards lose a few games they will be back to tell us this is the worst team, worst organization, worst manager etc

When starting pitchers pitch really well and go deep into games Oli doesn't have enough chances to really blow the game.

Another benefit of good starting pitching!

So no credit for lineups or managing 8 wins in a row? Longest of the year with the Dogturds
Do you give their manager credit?

Offense and starting pitching needs to keep up the scoring and pitching well to keep the bullpen from coming into play as much and reducing the amount of times oli needs to manage

So Hesley walking 4 in Boston was on Oli? When the BP coughs up leads, it's not Oli on the mound. He's got to use the resources he has. Do you know of an alternate choice he has?

After Mother's day last year we won at a 55% clip with terrible production for RISP. This year before the 8 game win streak our Pythag was .500.

Oli got a vote for MOY after he didn't panic when they were 9 under .500 and the disastrous year in 2023.

Reaching consensus on how bad management has been despite a sustained record of winning 55% of their games doesn't mean they can't win the pennant with the depth of their SP.

It’s great that the team is playing well.

Heck they might be in first place in a few days.

But come on, this team has not been good, and the organization has gone downhill, for a while. And everyone except Cranny and Tank admit it.

8 game winning streaks don’t erase that.

The Cards win pct, puts them in 2nd, not only in the NL Central, but the NL East and West.

CT just can't bring itself to enjoy the skinny Jelly Roll

Disagree - we would have easily been a playoff team last year if we hadn’t started with that disastrous first month. And now we’ve started a lot faster over the first six weeks than in 2024. So extrapolating the last 162 games through the rest of the season we should make the playoffs and probably win the division. You can’t call that not good.
