Please tell me. Multiple players have played for both teams and the Reds GM is the ex-Cardinals GM.

oh and b****es
Yep. Frontline Starter. We get an imitation one with Cueto and some #3's but that's about it.Originally Posted by bshall2105
Our offense is more balanced, especially around the infield. Defense is better. Bullpens about the same.
The teams just didn't come together in the series and the Cardinals did, we don't blow them out of the water but we're more evenly matched than this series showed.
The Reds have more depth in the infield. The Cardinals don't.
Too bad for us Miguel Cairo doesn't trump starting pitching.
Agree completely. Reds made mistakes, Cardinals didn't. Gomes and Rolen's errors opened the floodgates. Shouldn't have been that bad.
We don't have any #1 starters to shut opposing offenses down. Cardinals have 2.
If Cardinals had made a few errors and opened a few floodgates like our usually good defense did, might have been a different story. We blinked, they didn't.
Next opponent.
When we urinate we stand up. When they urinate they have to squat.
And just 1 game.
They've got those 2 aces, and playoff experience. Not much else that we don't have. Our pitching is younger and has more depth but without a true ace. Our hitting is usually better and our defense is usually better.
Don't forget enough money to pay Holliday, Pujols, and Carpenter.
HGH
Just not used to the spotlight...The Cards are much more experienced...
A couple of elite players and some experience. Reds' youthful energy and enthusiasm closes that gap a bit. Experience comes with time and veteran leadership.
Rolen, Edmonds, Arroyo, Springer, Lincoln, Owings, Rhodes, Hernandez and Gomes all have playoff experience.
