MLB: ***Official 2024 St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

12-3 in their last 15. Can’t ask them to do more than that.
They have put a nice run together. Hopefully it continues. I’m not paying super-close attention but it seems to have started once Goldy came alive.
Wynn & Herrera have been good thru the streak. Goldy is showing a natural decline w/age. Carpenter has surprised. About at the same place as last year with 1/3 of the season gone. Hopefully the starters can hold up because they tanked last year from this point.
I know a lot of people laughed at Mo going and getting a bunch of 34 years olds but it is true that those guys just eat innings. Now that the offense has shown a pulse if this team gets a lead and allows Romero, Kitteridge, and Helsley to come in, the game is over. Other bullpen pieces have been really good as well.
I got a call today from an STL number so I declined it. They left a voicemail. It was from my "personal Cardinals representative, Rachel" checking in to see if I was aware of all the upcoming special nights and if I'd be making plans to come to a game this year. She at least sounded like a real person; not a recording or AI.
Is this something they always do? Or, are they doing some marketing to try and get people to come to the games due to declining attendance?
Admittedly, I hadn't been to a game for 5 years before last summer and used cardinals.com to buy the tickets last year, so this might just be the first year they've had my contact info.

Pretty awesome game today. Defense really looked good and the pitching was great. I don't know what it is with Hendricks though. He continues to be St. Louis kryptonite.
Thank god for the NL Central. If they were in a division with competent teams, they'd be so far out I would've given up watching by now. With this dumpster fire of a division, everything is still really on the table.

I had a similar call, I think last spring, that I answered. It was an actual live and very friendly person. I almost felt sorry that I didn't have a problem or request for them to help with.
I had that happen a couple of years ago also. It was a legit call, and they made us an offer for special tickets for certain nights.
Well better than I thought at this point. Still not happy with the FO.
They’re in the race which is far better than I ever imagined back in April/May.
That being said, none of this matters. They are not built to actually contend for a WS. At best they sneak into the playoffs only to get swept out.

This is a steal. A player that hasn’t played for you this entire year for two good players. And no prospects given up. Mo I commend you
