1:15 p.m.
RHP Sonny Gray (2-0, 0.00) vs. RHP Colin Rea (2-0, 2.70)
BSM // KMOX // WIJR
Also BS South and SouthwestSeries is lost but yeah, winning one would be nice. if Gray gets 4-5 runs to work with that should get it done and then try to carry some momentum into the Arizona series.
Until the offense wakes up though it’s going to be tough sledding. Team is already 5 off the pace in the NLC – if they get to 10 out I think the team will collapse on itself.
The team is as emotionally dead as any team I’ve seen; they don’t seem to have any fire…
Is there such a thing as a must win in April? Of course not. Maybe for fans. I’m grumpy about the team right now, and like a lot of fans, whatever I say is derived from the frustrations of what has turned into a losing organization. Until they start functioning as a winning organization, they’re going to be hearing a lot of noise from outside. If this continues thru 2024, I can’t imagine MO, Oli, et al surviving to mess up 2025.
When Oli says “at the end of the day”, what day is he talking about? Days keep ending and nothing good happens.

M. Siani .167If you folks think things are going bad right now, well, they are. But look at it like this:
First, TLR said at times just one winning streak can turn things around. We need to end this losing streak and start a winning streak.
Second, look at the Dodgers. They spend a billion dollars and now are barely over .500 at 12-11. Imagine how they feel out in Los Angeles.

Din-din today will be a Ribeye steak in the air fryer. Along with some jumbo crinkle-cut French Fries. Some strawberries with extra glaze and a bowl of Turkey Hill Vanilla Bean ice cream. Then a 7×50 Palma Real Presidente cigar whilst me and Whitey Herdog tune in from the couch.
The Reds and Angels start at 1:40 in Cincinnati so we might catch the first couple of innings from Crosley Field. That would mean, however, we’d be forced to listen to the absolute worst announcing team in all of baseball in Sadak and Larkin.

Scott collected almost a month of ML paychecks, so he’ll be buying the clubhouse pizza and beer for a while in Memphis. Unless its not like it was in the old days. Maybe this next winter they will send him to one of those biometrics virtual hitting optimization camps like Donovan and some other guys have gone to. That poor guy was getting the bat knocked out of his hands and sand kicked in his face by the big kids.
Johnny’s hawking his special brand of flim-flam on the pregame show with the Cat. In regards to the lack of any offensive production Johnny says, “In time we think it’s going to work out…We have to exercise some patience…I have confidence we’ll get to where we need to go”…Haha!
Didn’t work last year.
Hasn’t worked this year.
What’s the definition of insanity?
I am talking about the offense, of course. And I keep asking about our hitting coach. Might he be part of the problem?
The Cardinals are now having to carry 3 C’s in order to regularly make use of both Contreras and Herrera at DH and behind HP in the everyday line-up. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Big League roster constructed in such a short sighted way as to require the presense of 3 C’s without any one of them being injured. It’s an odd time in Redbirdland.
“I have confidence we’ll get to where we need to go”

Sounds pretty confident. Maybe our goals are different. The path Mo is on is seller. If that were my goal, I’d be confident too.Right now where they need to go is anywhere other than last place which is where it seems like they’ve been since the Pharaoh supervised the construction of the Pyramids.
Sonny on Sunday. It was set up right to win or sweep the series. Lets see if we can scratch out a win.
Nice to see they finally moved Goldschmidt out of the #2 slot!
I’d like to see him a bit lower in the order, but it’s a start!
