The final four swings, with the first three do or die.

Hi Brian
I came to this thread seeking info on Nootbaar’s eminent return — thanks.But the search on Nootbaar seemed to fail
as it only gave results 2024 and earlier. Did I do something wrong, or is it broken, or what?
Thanks, Frank
If Italy can get to extra innings 4-4, they can advance by intentionally walking to side and losing 5-4, ousting USA.
They will scrape by in a tiebreaker.
Only safe thing to do if they let a runner on in the 10th.
Cardinals have the 3rd best record in baseball against >.500 teams at 16-12, behind the two NY teams. Pretty remarkable.
My Pink Freebie seemed frozen for 45 seconds.
I’m getting nothing but errors and failed authorization.
I have plenty of bandwidth. I watched a few days ago, even live iirc.Dateline 2031 Opening Day
——— by Dudley Ghool
This is a banner year for the Cardinals and it’s BFIB. For the seventh year in a row, the Cardinals bring back 24 or more players from the previous year — this year 26 of the 29 active roster members allowed since 2029.
GM Bloom had a great year in 2030, missing the playoffs by only one game, finishing the season with a 81-81 record, the Cardinal’s best season since going 83-79 in 2026, which was the first year with fan-favorite Tino Martinez at the helm, in the 2nd year of the expanded 18 team playoffs, where Tino led our intrepid Cardinals to their first ‘Wild Card Ring’, and the first of hopefully many as Cardinals skipper, since Mo reset the BFIB winning expectations in 2025 with his long-remembered multimillion dollar marketing initiative WCOB [Wild Card or Bust].
In an exclusive interview with the Non Dispatch, our intrepid Manager Tino was quoted “this will be a banner year for the Cardinals. Our core team is back again. Since Mo took out all the bleachers and outfield seats during the All Star Break in 2025, we’ve had standing room only crowds for several of our games, recalling our glory years at the beginning of the century.”
“And we fully expect to remove the Cardinal red canvas covering from the upper deck Right and Left Field Pavillion FSA [Former Seating Area], if we make the Pre Wild Card Playoffs for the second time in the Bloom Era, though of course the Red Canvas Army, as it is affectionately known, (with detailed photographic imprints of actual authentic fans from a 2021 game) is credited to Mo, allowing the first 28,044 fan sellout in the Bloom Era under the new seating configuration.
“And with the expanded shuffle board and pickle ball courts placed just behind our amazing new plexiglass centerfield wall, this will allow our older fans to multi task while waiting for pitching changes.”
[Fans with long memories will remember the walls were brought in to 320 feet in the corners, 340 in the power alleys, and 350 in deep center, in late 2025, in Mo’s final innovation, as he delivered on his promise to reignite the Cardinal power outage before he stepped down].
Once again, Miles Mikolas will be our intrepid ‘Opener’ for 2031, having been stretched out again to 3+ innings, now that McGreevy and Quinn Mathews have both made the Cardinal’s opening roster for the very first time, after McGreevy’s brief cup of coffee in 2029, and after both McGreevy and Mathews were brought up late in August 2030 when the Cardinals were well out of contention for the Pre Wild Card Series.
See you in at the Ballpark!
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.
Plenty of tickets behind the plate under $10 crazy.
And right behind the Commissioner Box $7.
I like Waino, and I’m not going for sardonic humor, but at least he’s helping improve our draft order.
The Wainwright thread talks about why the pitching coach and staff didn’t pick up on his stride that was “a foot shorter”, so plugged in the “wave your hands and call it dead arm” excuse. The coach’s staff has to see that one on video.
I came on here to write what Euro and BB just wrote (ok not as well but still). How could they not know? Why is the press not seeing this as a smoking gun for firing the whole pitching department? All the expensive technology and they can’t see a foot shorter stride on an injured player?
But where can you put Molina 1TD? You almost have to hide him in front of DeJong so he can’t hold us up on the base paths.
