2018 St Louis Cardinals thread

Immature CMart has a 1.75 ERA

Now now. Let’s not bring actual facts in to this.

Thank God for the hapless Cincinnati Reds.

It's nice to get in a four-game series with a AAA team!

Should I panic yet ? 

Whose panicking?  My prediction for the team has been a mediocre 80 something win team from before the season even started.  The slow start didnt create that prediction and a win streak built heavily on crushing the AAA Reds didnt change it either.  I fully expect this season to do a lot of ebbing and flowing.

With that said always nice to beat the Cubs

Tyler O’neill Arrived today. I can’t wait to see this kid hit bombs

The strikeouts are sickening . Another 14 last night. Yet they still won. Impressed with Norris so far. Thought the Holland deal was dumb. He was horrible the last part of the 2017, not too sure he isn't hurt.  

Only 6 whiffs so far. Impressive . 

Just 11 yesterday.  Dejong and Ozuna on a record pace.  

This head case Martinez guy   What a hack  🤣 

Hicks might be my new favorite Cardinal 

Well well well look who is on first place 

I am not very happy with Matheny lately. Molina batting 2nd is a joke.The radio bobbleheads thought it was a brilliant move. All I can say is NO!

DeYoung needs to be put back in the 3 hole. The guy was so good there last year.

Disagree. Paul strikes out way too much.  

I don't think anyone but real delusional idiots denies Martinez is astoundingly talented and easily has ace caliber stuff.  The question is when the chips are down and he has to stare down a brutal pitching duel against another ace is he going to blink.  Thus far in his career the answer has been no but he's also pretty damn young so he could cross that bridge at any time.

im still holding to my current prediction for this season though.  We are 5-0 vs the worst team in baseball, 6-8 vs everyone else.  I just can't get too hyped yet.  But I'll be delighted if they build off this reds momentum and start chewing through all competition
