MLB: ***Official 2019 St. Louis Cardinals Season Thread***

If you would have told me in June they would win the division I would say you were full of ****. Great finish!
Yes. Thank you team for proving me wrong. I was definitely in the “sell” camp in July.
I was very wrong as well and I can deal with that.
Flaherty 0.91 since all star break? Damn
Nothing like taking it to game 162 with the Brewers at their heels down to the wire. Rockies did the Cards a big favor with that win last night.
Looking forward to the Cards in postseason. They've been out of it too long.

The Rocks did the Brewers no favors with 2 extra inning games and Scherzer looming. Still, I tip my hat to the Brewers. They sure know how to play ball in September.
Helluva 2nd half for the Cards. As others have mentioned, I didn't see this coming in July. Flaherty was other-worldly. No way they're where they are without him. They made it as interesting as possible but it sure was a fun day after yesterday's Cyclone nut kick.
And sending Maddon out with a whimper didn't hurt my feelings either.
Gotta mention Tommy Edman. .304 avg in little more than half a season (none of the regulars were even close). Seven triples, 15 stolen bases. Solid defense. He provided a spark to the team. But it was a team effort.
Congrats guys - really stepped it up the last couple of months. Pitching staff has been lights out. Will be interesting to see what Wainwright ends up doing - I thought for sure he’d retire after the year but he’s put up great numbers and seems to still have some left in the tank.
Well Martinez gives up 3 runs and still gets the win - seems wrong. Good win and on to game two.
I will take it. Flaherty going tomorrow.
Wasn't easy on the eyes but I'm not going to overthink a playoff road win, especially with Jack going tomorrow
Martinez doing his best to give up a 4 run lead.
He kills me. Even if he gets the save, he ends up making it interesting. I’d love to know in what percentage of his appearances he allowed the tying run to second base. Thank God Wong got those extra two runs and they got the call at first against Albies right.
Good lord he makes me nervous. Especially for a guy that was an ace starter at one point not so long ago.
I've not watched the Cardinals this season unless they played the Cubs. In the last few weeks, I'm pretty sure I've seen Martinez blow 4 saves. You have to have someone else?
