I saw where one group rated the Cardinal's minor leagues as #1 in baseball.
They are a fun team to watch, like that they are running more this year. would be great to keep this up for the rest of the year.

Well I have to say I am more than pleasantly surprised with this team. Go Redbirds!
St. Louis is showing spark this year, split the double header yesterday, but came back in the 2nd game to get into extra innings, I believe they are 7-2 in extra inning games this year. Walker is turning into the player the team has been hoping for the past 3 seasons.
Getting rid of the veterans, has allowed the young players and the coaching staff to be themselves and it shows on the field. They are young and having fun.

Card tidbit, with Carlos Santana on the IL, former Card Paul Goldschmidt is the oldest position player in MLB. Signed another year with Yanks as depth guy and mentor to Ben Rice (who's a catcher converted to 1st) but has got a lot of PT now with Stanton on the IL. And, not news to Card fans, he's supposed to be a great team and clubhouse guy.
Man did you get all the softie cubs fans all riled up. I’d be pissed too if I saw my team absolutely crumble in two weeks and then give up 16 (and counting) to a bad giants teams
They can't handle the truth, sorry but they are not any better off than our Cards, in fact maybe worse off, because they have zero players ranked in the top 50 prospects on the latest Athletic list. St. Louis is set at every infield position but 3rd, have a DH playing catcher right now and have our future catcher in the minors. The outfield looks about the same, Walker will be fine in right, left and center still looking for answers, but at least we have players that might work, they really have few of that.
I wouldn’t be throwing stones if I was a fan of a team that just got beat by 15 runs
No throwing stones here. Just happy to see you guys remembered you actually have your own thread. Maybe you'll even manage to talk about something other than the Cubs in it.
Well between the weekly PCA little league blunders and the 4-14 stretch, it’s pretty fun to talk about the cubs. Cardinals are fun too, but CF obviously isn’t cardinals territory.
Cards sweep the Reds and now have an off day and then on to NY to play the Mets and then the Twins. We are really catching the Twins at the right time, they are struggling, Mets playing better but we can win 2 out of 3 if we keep hitting.
We can think the Cards bullpen isn’t the greatest but the Reds’ sucks really badly. Day off also allows Noot his recovery day without skipping a game. And Dobbins is fully in the rotation now too. Pretty fun
Injuries have really killed the Reds season so far, Cards left a lot of runners on base this series, multiple times we would load the bases and only come away with a run. Perfect example in the 8th, loaded them up, no outs after already scoring two on a couple of errors by the Reds and we strand all three. Happened yesterday in the 6th or 7th. Today, two grounds outs with the out at home and a fly ball to end the inning is not situational baseball.
