Nah, the Cardinals have the baseball gods behind them. Somehow things seem to go their way more often then not. I’m sure they’ll trade a bag of used baseballs for Soto and the Nationals will still give them $400m to sign Soto long-term.

So if players perform well you are good and if players perform bad you are bad.    Thanks for the understanding of baseball

 

i see how the brewers are unique to every other team in the history of sports

 

im sure the cardinals think of the brewers as the ‘27 Yankees and it’s only a matter of time before they can’t compete

Have you watched much baseball in the last 40 years? Even longer than that; Earl Weaver said the key to winning games is the 3-run HR.

 

Certainly can get you to the playoffs but living only on HRs doesn't win to many worlds series when facing elite pitching.

the trick is, we need to have the elite pitching. If that doesn't happen, we're screwed.
