RHP Erick Fedde (8-8, 3.43) vs. RHP Bryce Miller (10-8, 3.30)
MLB Network // BSM // KMOX // WIJR
Also BS South and Southwest ExtraOutside of start one he has a 3.86 ERA in 28 innings. Not been the FIP darling but not as terrible as you suggest.
Our next 13 games are against teams just below average — 20 games under .500 cumulatively.
How many do we need to win to feel like we are in the hunt for a wild card berth?
I’d say 10-3 which is possible considering we’ve been beating better teams of late.
10-3 or 11-2 in the next 13 if we want any shot sounds about right. That would get us to 9 or 11 over .500, and I think 88-74 will be needed to make it to the playoffs.
I also tend to think of that 2011 season when I remind myself that anything’s possible up until being mathematically eliminated. But I also remind myself of no Pujols, no Molina, no Carpenter, no Berkman and no TLR.
Problem is in the second half we have played better vs the good teams than we have the worse ones. Since i dont believe the brewers are going to fold, we have to count on someone else not playing well. Those teams all seem to be playing as good as we are.
Still talking playoffs? Well, I did notice a pig flying over this morning, so I supposes it’s possible.
For the optimist, per Fangraphs as of today, the Cardinals have a 1.4% chance of making the playoffs. Certainly not zero.
For the pessimist, conversely, the chance they miss is 98.6%.
Quick look at 2024 Mariners as they face #STLCards:
– 1 playoff berth since 2001
– 10-game AL West lead on 6/10
– 12 games under .500 since
– fired mgr. on 8/23
– PBO and GM will reportedly return for 2025
– five games out of 3rd Wild Card (same as StL)
– MLB-most 8 prospects in…— Brian Walton (@B_Walton) September 6, 2024

CF M. Siani LRegardless of whether or not either of these two teams have a sliver of a chance to qualify for a post-season berth, it’s genuine nonsense that the St. Louis, Cardinals are playing 3 games with the Seattle Mariners in Sept. The planners and scheduling nit-wits of MLB have entirely ruined the overall sense of excitement associated with late season baseball by eliminating the vast majority of head to head contests held between league and division rivals in the last 4 or 5 weeks of the regular season. It’s plain stupid.
Friday night in September and the weather is perfect for spending the evening at the ballpark. I wonder what the actual gate will be.
Don’t know about HS, but Im headed to Fort Hayes Ks with my son to watch my grandson play. He plays for Mo Western. 1100 mile round trip. But I wouldn’t miss it. Kids been a gymn rat since he was 12. Baseball was his first love but he got too big. 6’7 310. OT.
Bling,you wouldn’t believe the volume of food they eat when they get in a college nutrition program.
