More laughable might be ending with a winning season of 82-80 , that takes a 9-2 .
More likely MAY (noticed MAY in caps) be a 4-7 finish to end at 77- 85 .

Last year's record in 2024 was 83-79
Two years ago Oli Marmol's team was 71-91
It appears for the last three years the cumulative W-L will be a losing record .
Chaim Bloom has a tough task to turn the franchise around.

I'm okay with where the rebuild is at. If Goldy and Arenado had not fell off the cliff so, so fast......we could have been in a decent place the past 2 years. Sometimes even the best of plans do not work. I thought when we acquired those 2, we would go deep in the playoffs. But.....when you make those kind of investments....and they don't work out....you land where we are. It's called life....it happens.

The Marlins, A's and O's are immediately in front of them, and they all only have two more losses than the Cards. The Cardinals remaining schedule features the Reds, Brewers, Giants and Cubs. All of them are trying to win. It's possible they can finish with more losses than the three teams "ahead" of them that I listed. That would put them in the top five and seriously increase their odds in the lottery.

My 81 I think is sunk.

Hoosier59 wrote: ↑16 Sep 2025 10:15 am I don’t think we’ll win more than three more games. Bullpen is worn out and our young starters have pitched more innings than they’ve ever pitched. So, not a good combination. Gray gave us a good game, and so did Liberatore, but the tired bullpen couldn’t hold those leads. It’s not going to get better in the coming days.
