......And here come the Cardinals!
Yikes.
Reds had a chance to bust this open and put away that ailing Cardinal team. Frustrating.

Re: ......And here come the Cardinals!
I wouldn't be too worried about the standings until about August unless teams are more than 7 or more games out. It's such a long season.

Re: ......And here come the Cardinals!
Yes they should have won a couple more games in the last week, but you have an unrealistic expectation level.
This is an 87-90 win team in its current construct with more good than bad but some obvious flaws that are well documented on the board. This is simply not a team that is going to blow away the league with a 100-win season and continue to play at a .600+ win percentage. Actually no one in the NL may get to more than 92 or 93 wins the way things look at this point. And I expect each division to be a dog fight and the wild cards to be a complete free-for-all. |

Re: ......And here come the Cardinals!
The _ardinals will have a rough patch again this season. They'll get swept by someone again. They won't get endless feasts against the Royals and Marlins for long.

Re: ......And here come the Cardinals!
When exactly was our chance to put them away?

Re: ......And here come the Cardinals!
We're in late June - would you consider a 5,6 or even 7 or 8 game lead at this pint "putting them away"? The Reds aren't putting anyone away in June. Now, some teams might put themselves away playing .300 baseball up until now but that's not what we're talking about here. This is going to be nip and tuck all the way I suspect.

On a serious note, with so many individual playing WAY over their head in StL.....I think it would be fair that they should be making the comment about not putting the Reds away. Cueto and Votto are the only guys playing out of their mind....Cards have had ridiculous performance from 7 hitters and 4 starters.....so far.

Re: ......And here come the Cardinals!
Oh cynics of RedsZone... I believe he was referring to the point that the Cardinals were dealing with injuries and the Reds didn't open up a larger gap... Not to mention that one has to expect Wainwright to get stronger down the stretch...
But whatever...
