About a month ago, they started playing sound fundamental baseball and started winning. I listen to or watch on TV almost every game. The first part of the season, their fundamentals were terrible. I don't recall ever seeing such an abrupt change.

I have been pleasantly surprised with how many runs the Cards have been scoring this year. We have had some really boring games last few years of few runs and a lot of strikeouts, I think we are currently 7th in the majors in runs scored.

Since we have a Cards thread. I saw this about Lou Gehrig the other day. Two men in history have 500 doubles, 150 triples and 450 homers. Lou and Stan Musial.

Damn Cubs on a 4 game winning streak keeping the Redbirds from gaining any ground.

StL 4 games back now . Damn cubs are on an 8-2 run.

Yeah, Cubs 8-2 last ten games. Cards lost 2 of 3.

Still really like where we are in the division. Because at the beginning of the year I thought we were certain to end up 10 or worse under.

Cards over KC in ten innings. Wilson Contreras 1000th game and he gets the game winning walk off base hit.

Rumor has it Cardinal third baseman Nolan Arenado has announced he WILL NOT participate in to night's pride night in St Louis. Don't know if it is the game itself or just the pre game celebrations.

The Cards Friday night 'The Lou' jerseys are ghetto trash...but the Cardinals didn't play like trash. Beating the defending champs 5-0.

6 and 1/3rd scoreless innings from Sonny Gray.

Cubs got beat. Cards 4 games back.

As horrible as the LOU uniforms were, the OG unis with the iconic jersey and the classic single pants pinstripe they wore today more than made up for it.

Those, and road baby blues are the two best uniforms in MLB.

When I was much younger I thought the navy hats were a thing they started in the 90s.

Then I saw The GOAT Gibson in one

Just watched the full highlights. Pages beating out an infield bunt to first was. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Glorious. LOL

I've got numerous Cardinal caps, and that is one of them. Fitted, and I bought it at ALL SPORTS (IIRC) up in Tates Creek Center WAAAAY back in the day.

The 8th and 9th innings today were crazy. Ohtani hits what looks like an easy out 2nd out in the 9th and it hits the bag and pops up in the air...they score their only run on a passed ball when Freeman strikes out.

The only sad note of the series was announcer Chip Carey (who I like a hell of a lot better than the last guy) going full 'Dad Joke' after one of our homeruns in Game one of the series:

Carey: 'In Scotland, they would say he kilt it'

No Chip, never do that again.

Cards lose a tough one to the Bluejays, down the whole game.

Down 3-0 in 8th, score 4 in the bottom of the 8th. Herrera with a 3 run homerun with 2 outs.

Helsley blows the lead in the 9th. We lost in 10 innings.




Also, Kershaw left town this weekend saying St. Louis is 'bush league'

Would have bet against a win tonight with Mikolas pitching. No confidence in him, but damn, nice 8-1 win. Won the series against the Nationals.

StL still sliding down…💀

Got a win today. Had a 5-3 lead in Game 2 against the Braves going into the 8th inning and lost.

Have to win those. Honestly everything I'm reading, management isn't even trying to win. Won't bring up McGreevey, Marmol clearly from statements would rather start him than Fedde or Mikolas. I think they didn't even expect the Cards would have a winning record at this point and the goal was to trade certain players before the deadline.

MLB draft so far, two Tennessee Vols pitchers. High school outfielder and a UC San Diego first baseman.
