Here’s one- they say the first out in an age n I g is the biggest out, as you can always then escape with the double play.
Yep, stop losing streak/first NL West team, and we’re at home.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑23 May 2025 10:45 am How do we measure fragile?
Huge series based on first West team, a very good team, at home, just lost a series, and stop a losing streak.
21 games I suppose. I really like the way the schedule turned out though, as I’d rather play LA Toronto Arizona and KC at home, and Texas and Baltimore on the road. Rather than the other way around.Futuregm2 wrote: ↑23 May 2025 10:50 amYep, stop losing streak/first NL West team, and we’re at home.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑23 May 2025 10:45 am How do we measure fragile?

And we have a tough stretch coming up.
Arizona (home)
Baltimore (road)
Texas (road)
KC (home)
LAD (home)
Toronto (home)
Milwaukee (road)
Nope, from the articles I have read the Cardinals players already have the confidence . They are playing good sound fundamental baseball. Outstanding defense and doing the little things right . As for being fragile due to the past couple years, this is the 2025 club. PLayers are in the here and now. Also it is a worn out cliche but players do play in the 'here and now' The 'take it one game at a time ' is old as the hills but professional players learn to do that . You can get your brains beat out 10-0 in one game. The next game you have completed forgotten how you just got creamed. It's a new game . It's fans that dwell on the past not the players themselves.
Yep, look at the Angels. They were done for a couple weeks ago. Lost 7 in a row to fall to 12-19. Now they’ve won 7 in a row, including a sweep of the Dodgers, and are back to 24-25 and only 4 back in their division.JDW wrote: ↑23 May 2025 11:40 am Checked the calendar, it's still May.
Sure, all games are important but baseballs weird. Cards could lose their next 5, at which point many on CT are jumping ship, then win their next 7 and the emotions swing the other way. Not saying anything new here obviously, just reminding it's a long season with ebbs and flows.
Btw, the Cards winning 7 of 12 games would be a rate I'd take anytime, including the rest of this season, next year, etc.
A guy could have made some money betting on that happening, lol.Futuregm2 wrote: ↑23 May 2025 12:39 pmYep, look at the Angels. They were done for a couple weeks ago. Lost 7 in a row to fall to 12-19.

I am not really an Angels fan at all, but ANY team that sweeps the LAD wins some appreciation from me.Futuregm2 wrote: ↑23 May 2025 12:39 pmYep, look at the Angels.

You're right and there is no such thing as a big series in May. Even if you' end up being a bad team there are going to be times when the team plays very well. If you turn out to be very good there will be times you don't play well at all. In the 105 win season in '04 the Cards got swept by the Pirates. It's just the nature of the beast (baseball season).Futuregm2 wrote: ↑23 May 2025 12:39 pmYep, look at the Angels. They were done for a couple weeks ago. Lost 7 in a row to fall to 12-19.

Yes. Ump may have cost us a big inning after calling Herrera out on an obvious ball 4.rockondlouie wrote: ↑24 May 2025 08:19 amOne down82birds wrote: ↑23 May 2025 17:22 pmyuprockondlouie wrote: ↑23 May 2025 11:19 am Gallen hasn't been any good in half of his starters (5.14 ERA/1.38 WHiP), let hope we get the bad Zac tonight.

Was there last night birds', was the strike zone as bad as it seemed?
