Big series next three days Today Tuesday need to be days they for sure capitalize on as Braves only have Sale pitching on Wednesday.. cutting Atalanta lead for the first WC spot to 2.5-3.5 games would be huge

Man, imagine where we'd be if we had won even just six of the games earlier in the year? Still, I am THROUGHLY enjoying watching the Cardinals again! Even the losses have been a bit more interesting recently. The guys that deserve some special shoutouts are Burleson, Donovan, Winn, Pages, and (I cannot believe I'm saying this) Crawford! If we can keep this momentum going, and get some guys back from injury, I feel like we just need to upgrade the rotation, maybe acquire another reliever, and we're back in the race!

I sure hope the Cardinals brass helps by upgrading the pitching.

We’ve been decent. Still gotta beat the teams that matter and Atlanta is up next. Let’s see if these bats can stay rolling for this series. 🙏🏾

@@Samir-3737 that’s all fine and dandy but Let’s do it against the teams we will see in September and October. Is all I’m sayin. 👍🏾. 3 game series starts with one of them tonight.

Bad teams randomly beat good teams, good teams don't regularly lose to bad teams. The Cards randomly beat good teams while regularly losing to bad teams. They are a bad team going through a hot streak, something all bad teams do. Good teams don't need hot streaks to be competitive because they are a good team. The Cards need hot streaks to be competitive for a WC spot.

I hate the strike zone graphic box too

Need to add quality depth to our bullpen. Would be nice if Gorman would stop disappearing for months at a time. Go Cardinals. 😃😃 24-13. Numbers don’t lie. Still working the bugs out. Getting a good vibe for this team. Would be nice to see Lance have a big game tonight.

@@thatboy3930 I keep thinking; he’s young. Still waiting for him to learn how to be a hitter and not just a guess power bat. Meanwhile Dejong is having a decent season. Just can’t seem to be a pressure guy when counted upon. Would be nice to see them both sustain greatness.

Cards just getting off a sweep if things go like they have all year, then they probably lose at least 2 of the 3 this next series, if not all 3. I hope I'm wrong

Albert is the Goat

Cardinals desperately need to acquire a 5th starter or its going to be hard to sustain this improvement down the stretch. Best to get that new piece ASAP and not wait till the deadline.

I always thought they needed to add additional quality starter. just think, if they had done that when Sonny was out due to injury, maybe just maybe we wouldn't be 5 games back from the Brewers. Its the front office I blame ...

Yadi was a contact hitter early in his career .It was predictable he would put up good numbers.

Bernie, take another look at Rose’s stats during his Cincy years. I agree his Phillie years were mediocre but he did win an MVP and had 12 years of .800 plus OPS.Pretty good for not being an HR hitter.Led the league in hits,runs, and doubles several years.

With the pitching staff doing so well the cardinals may want to keep Yadier Pages behind the plate most days. Lol

41-34 would be a lot nicer though.. white sox series loss.. split with Rockies not winning series.. and Marlins series loss.. big 6 game swing they could of had… could be big factors down the stretch time will tell…

I would say Bonds ... but w/ out him. Henderson Pujols Griffey or Ichiro ... Its tough. I would prob say Pujols but I want to say Ichiro or Rose

They were good all along….it’s only their record that has been good over the last 6 weeks…

Bernie's so stunning and brave! He says he doesn't give a damn what people say, he thinks Marmol "has done an excellent job with the bullpen." Wow, Im sure that ends the argument for his fanboys but if you'll indulge me for a minute: Kittredge is on pace for 76 appearances, JoJo on pace for 74, and Helsley for 72. That's a heck of a workload! For reference, Seth Maness's most appearances came in 2015 with 76, Matt Bowman in 2017 with 75, and Kevin Siegrist with a whopping 81 in 2015. I bring these names up because their careers were severely shortened or derailed by such overuse. Ive heard Bernie Miklasz over the last several years correctly blame Mike Matheny for shredding these pitchers' arms, but here he is praising Marmol for doing the same thing. Why would Bernie contradict himself? Because fans are sick of Marmol, and Bernie Miklasz's career at this point is basically devoted to countersignalling them, sneering at them, scolding them for wrongthink. If and when Marmol regains popularity with the fanbase, then at that moment Bernie Miklasz will suddenly remember that it's bad when managers overwork relievers

Dude all you guys do is whine and complain. Teams struggle dude. It's apart of baseball and sports in general. "Fans being sick of marmol" is fkn dumb as hell. He literally turned this season around and is winning now. What else does a manger need to do? That is the goal, to win games right? To be one of the best teams the last six weeks without Contreras (their best hitter at the time he went down) no permanent 5th starter. Goldschmidt and Arenado not playing like they normally do, that's really freaking impressive man, no matter how much you guys weirdly hate a guy you've never met. Idk man it just gets old and annoying. A lot of you guys almost don't deserve a winning team, because look how you act when they are down. That's just my opinion. And he's not overworking anyone. He's playing the guys that are available to him, while also considering the specific situation. That's the job and if they have to go out there, that's what they are being paid for. This comment is kinda more generalized but I left it under you to address the "fans hating marmol" thing

Unfortunately, if the cards do make a move at the deadline I think Herrera will be the bait. He’ll be the Colby Rasmus. While the bat is great, he’s a long way still from being a serviceable defensive catcher in 2024 MLB

Yay. I’m happy they dusted the Giants, who get dry humped by Mad Dog Russo like a beitch. Russo claims the 1942 & 44 Cards WS wins are tainted because of the war, and believes the Giants are the *real* National League Torch bearer. Even when Musial died he didn’t give Stan his due, saying that a lot of the stars weren’t playing during Musial’s best seasons. IDK how I got off on that tangent but there it is. How do they not have a 5th SP?

@@officialpj1772 right right. Yeah not sure what happened with him. He was doing great the 2nd half of last season. Good enough for a rookie season at least. Some speculate he fell off when they tried to get him to change his swing form. Idk, but he was the most hyped guy for the cards in a while, he better get it together. Luckily Winn, also hyped but not nearly as much as Walker, has not only been great but the best player on the team.

As much as I love Albert Pujols, I woud have to put Barry Bonds as the greatest living player. Let's not pretend BB was not a hall of famer prior to ped use. His run from 2001-2004 was insane. Peds or not, nobody wanted to pitch to him. It was incredible. As great as Pujols was, he never had a stadium built for him. They built a new ballpark for Barry Bonds. Like it or not, that is his house. I am not ready to buy into this Cardinals team yet. We simply have no thunder in the middle of the lineup. Now that Gorman has disappeared, it's absolutely infuriating to see th manager to continue to put them in the middle of the lineup to kill any type of rally we've got going. Drop them in the order, give them a few more days every month, and let some of the younger guys come in and see what they can do. This not a slugfest team, we've got to adopt a small ball approach. Move runners over, hit and run, steal bases, etc. That is something we can do to win.

Dudes a 🤡 for backing Marmol on taking Gray out early multiple times.

I don't care what their record SHOULD be. Still have issues. Need to find some relievers other than the "big 3". All of NL is the same case, most teams have flaws. 9 teams still in the playoff hunt. I don't agree with Oli's moves, case in point Mondays game using Helsley in back to back games. Almost lost that game. There are others in that BP that could be used. Including the same just because if you can use if game is more comfortable 3 run lead.

I told you so. I also advised all Cardinal writers & fans to call up some Harry Caray broadcasts to learn how to be a real fan, not a fair-weather crank. Listen to how Jim Edmonds talks baseball. Listen to the guy in the Cardinals tv booth with today's Caray to learn joyous enthusiasm :)-

But marmol is still a clown so it doesn't matter

this team will take off once the organization accepts that dylan carlson and nolan gorman are complete busts. carlson is probably the worst player in the history of the franchise. replace these two with cesar prieto from AAA and tommy edman/lars nootbar or jordan walker.
