Damn.
Born in 63, I missed the great Cardinal teams of the 60’s but we all know who the players were and what they mean to the franchise.
Prayers for Gibson and his family.
As long as the Cards can hover at .500 and stay inside of 5 games of the division lead, anything can happen.
Carpenter, Molina, and Wainwright are pretty much done.
The biggest question I have is: Do the Cardinals actually have young core players to build around or are we looking at a complete teardown and multi-year rebuild?
For 3 years I’ve been saying I’d love to get the Cubs GM and manager. See what they could do over a 4-5 year period.
So far, no one is running away with the division. All we need is one good hot streak to be right there.
Don’t know that winning this division will mean all that much BUT never forget 2006.
You can really say that the Cubs, Brewers, and Cardinals are all underperforming to this point in the season.
Maybe the boys need to stick around after the games, play some cards, pound some beer, and build a little chemistry?
The Cardinals are in a really, really strange place from the FO to the roster to the manager.
I’ve followed them closely since the late 70’s and starting with the second half of 2015 through today it’s been pretty blah baseball for the most part.Carp, Wainwright, and Molina don’t have much tread left and some of the younger players just seem lost and rudderless.
I had thought this season would be back on track after watching all the young starting pitching close out last season. I figured there were 8-9 guys to pick your 5 man rotation from but it hasn’t panned out (yet).
The pitching may yet sort itself out; maybe not this season but I’m still hopeful. It’s the lack of anything like consistent offensive production that has me really concerned.
If you squint your eyes at it you could almost take the same roster into next season; maybe add a bat and, if all the pieces fell into place have yourself a playoff team (see April of this year).
I sure don’t have the answers but I’m happy to join the conversation here.
