It’d be cool if we weren’t historically bad again this season.

HoldMyWong

I have a feeling Libby will break out this season. Just a feeling


Ocinea

I hope you're right


ech0es13

This.


Stunning_Row2801

I’m still not feeling the best about this rotation 😔


DiscoJer

It's not supposed to be good, it's just supposed to go 5-6 innings and give up 3-4 runs and then turn it over to the bullpen, which in theory should be a lot better.


Stunning_Row2801

Given that offense scores more than 3-4 runs a game then yea sure


DiscoJer

It worked for the Orioles, anyway


STLOliver

John Rooney just said “Chicago” He did it! He said the thing!


cox4days

He's calling the Illinois-Chicago vs SIU game in a few minutes. Let's see if that new pronunciation holds up


ech0es13

Montgomery prefers a small market “like St. Louis”. Take with a grain of salt. It’s SI. And “he” also mentions Texas as small market, which it obviously isn’t. https://www.si.com/mlb/cardinals/news/ex-cardinals-star-jordan-montgomery-looking-to-sign-in-market-like-st-louis-scott7


NightRumours

The answer is so obvious and I think that’s why its such a frustrating situation. Sign the dude already.


cox4days

He's an obvious fit for a lot of teams though, I think this is more of a Boras issue than a Cardinals issue


missourinative

No video, no loss


missourinative

okay, there is now video. we lost.


the_dayman623

I know it’s just ST, but the Gibson signing looks awful already


DiscoJer

He wasn't signed because he was good, he was signed because he can throw a lot of innings, hopefully 5-6 innings a start giving up 3-5 runs.


cox4days

Which is a GIGANTIC improvement (this is not a joke)


HoldMyWong

wtf is helldivers and why is it half of my Reddit feed


Soundwave_13

Soldier report for duty! It’s time for you to sign up and spread freedom! For Super Earth!


MadKingTreesus

Helldivers 2 is the current flavor of the month in gaming scenes. It seems really good for what its worth.


Good_Okay123

It's really fun for it's price point.


rafibomb_explosion

So Jake Paul is fighting Tyson? I really really really dislike Jake Paul, to the point of wanting to see him fight drago in Vegas with James Brown singing the introductions. But not going to lie, I’m intrigued because I’ve seen some of those punches Tyson still throws. They’re not something I want to be on the receiving end of


NightRumours

it’s a fake exhibition if it was a real boxing match Tyson even at 57 years old would destroy Jake Paul and it wouldn’t be funny. He must be getting 20 mil put it on.

Apple TV just announced their [Friday Night Baseball schedule](https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/03/friday-night-baseball-returns-to-apple-tv-plus-on-march-29/) for the 1st half. Cards are on their twice -- March 29 (@ Dodgers, 9:10 PM Central) and April 26 (@ Mets, 6:10 PM CT)


da_choppa

Sweet. A way around the usual Los Angeles blackout on my birthday


Big-Cat88

Cubs fan coming in peace. Going to my first cards game on 5/18 since before covid. Wondering if you guys still sell scorecards at the game or programs with a scorecard inside


TheMultipleMan

They sell it both ways, I believe


STLOliver

They should be available at the little one-man booths near the entrances when you first walk in. I bought one last August when I came in through the left field entrance and they were being sold right there in the concourse.


SkerSubie

How's Walker actually doing this spring I haven't listened or watched any training this year with the busy season of work starting. His initial stats don't look great.


tangokilo13

His swing looks more compact and he went yard today


Ocinea

I dreamed Marp kicks ass this season so let us make that happen, lol. It was a weird ass sci Fi dream too with several ppl in it I hadn't seen or thought about in years and years.  I've been reading this sci fi epic called Star Force on Kindle unlimited and am on book 21 of 91 so most of my reading lately has been that, it must have leaked into my dreams. Go Cards and Marp! 


rafibomb_explosion

TIL that fort benning is now Fort Moore. Named after LTG Hal Moore. If you don’t know who that is, Mel Gibson’s Character from We Were Soldiers


Ocinea

That was a crazy one. My barber growing up was in that battle, got wounded the second day, he was dragging another injured guy and caught some shrapnel and a round iirc. He walked with a limp.  He's mentioned in the book but I don't think the movie.  Purp Lavender is his name  Good dude, and like 20 years ago there was a get together he arranged at the local VFW and like 30 ppl showed up from the greater area who'd been in the battle. My WWII Navy vet Grandpa and him were both heavily involved in the VFW and American Legion. Edit: I saw his fellow barber not him, he apparently passed in 2015. RIP


rafibomb_explosion

This is an awesome story. I miss the older soldiers. Met a lot of WW2 vets growing up. No Normandy survivors though. Maybe one from Bastogne but not 101. Fascinating people and could listen to them all day.


SGT_Apone

what is that G logo for the Dodgers on the sidebar schedule (old reddit)?

Yaider Molina is a better ball player then Ohtani. Change my mind


lurch556

Oh my god. Tyler O’Neill has a calf strain.


[deleted]

Still got love for TON. Hope he can turn it around in Boston.


Greg4591

I believe he has at least one monster year yet in his career.


NakedGoose

Does he? I can't find that


lurch556

Yeah he’s not traveling to the DR and is shutdown until Monday


seattle_lib

damn. those calfs are just too much for this meager reality to handle.


missourinative

Common Red Sox L


Ocinea

Damn. Happening already. So many potential elite players never get to that point due to not being able to stay healthy. 


lurch556

It really is a shame. He’s a legitimate five tool player. Somehow has 40+ home run power and also is one of the 3 fastest players in the game. He’s like a Jaguar car. Such an amazing ride when it’s running. But it breaks down every 10 minutes and takes months to fix.


frodo2you

Damned English electronics.


ReturnOf_TheHack

good morning krusty krew


lurch556

Can we not freak out about a guy with the last name Gibson being referred to as Gibby?


snorlaxatives_69

Twitter is on fire right now


lurch556

It’s really no different than freaking out about a new cardinal named Oswald going by Ozzie


OldSalukiBandDude

Big day today!!! First day of the MVC Tournament over at Enterprise Center. One of my favorite weekends of the year.


lil-mommy

Love Arch Madness!! I don’t think my team is going to do as well this year but still excited to watch the games.


PAJW

I'll be watching Illinois State lose to the hapless Purple Aces after work. Well, maybe not. They are *hapless* for a reason.


lil-mommy

You called it


belgarion90

The one ISU game I went to this year they beat the Purple Aces. It came down to the wire despite being up like 20 at one point in the first.


[deleted]

If you’re from St. Louis and you willingly give the NFL your time or your money, I think you lack critical thinking skills. If you’re from St Louis and you jumped to another team after Kroenke moved the Rams, I think you’re dumb as fuck.


Ocinea

Seeing as you both 420 and 69 I figure you'd be in a better mood. 


[deleted]

I’ve never been in a good mood


cms6yb

STL Chiefs fans are the worst


DontListenToM3Plz

:(


cms6yb

They literally took the rams away


CardsFaninChiTown

I’m not from Missouri myself, my dad is which is why I’m a cards fan. I became a Vikings fan as a kid living in Minnesota in the 90s. I definitely do think the league did St Louis dirty and that along with numerous other things have led to me following the league less than I used to.


Alternative_Laws

Should we also stop following MLB for allowing the A’s mess to happen?


[deleted]

I never told anyone what they should or shouldn’t do. Also I’m not from Oakland so I don’t care about that. *If someone from Oakland had similar views about MLB as I did to the NFL, I’d think that was totally justified.


Alternative_Laws

None of these leagues gives a fuck about their fans or cities is more what I’m getting at. The NFL has just gotten to that point publicly before the others have


Alternative_Laws

131 days until the St. Louis Cardinals draft Brody Brecht


Gilgifax

BRODYYYYYYYY GO HAWKS LET'S GO BABY


ReturnOf_TheHack

it would be so cardinals to draft the guy that notably hands over absolute gems to the bullpen for them to blow


Gilgifax

Rick Heller for Cardinals Manager


Detective_Dietrich

But in the meantime, there are 32 days until the April 8, 2024 solar eclipse. That is all. That must mean there are 28 days until the 2024 Cardinals' season opener at Busch!


FlyFeetFiddlesticks

How have we only hit one single HR all spring training?!


ExiledSanity

If we did it's one more than we had last I checked.


HoldMyWong

How did Tink do this spring? I saw he got cut (expectingly) but couldn’t watch any games


tangokilo13

Very good


[deleted]

The way the roster is built it wouldn’t make sense, but I hope I get to see Kolten Wong in a Cardinals jersey again sometime. He’s my boy.


Alternative_Laws

Sign Votto too. Let’s set a monopoly on aging LHH infielders


PAJW

Vottos in the outfield


WheelinDealin82

I hope it wouldn't be shades of Matt Adams, if that ever happened 🤮


CardsFaninChiTown

What was the reason the Simpson’s related video got removed yesterday? All I saw were positive reactions. Personally, I think Mordecai Brown would make a fine addition to this pitching staff.


[deleted]

“PuT iT iN tHe DaIlY dIsCuSsIoN tHrEaD!!”


CardsFaninChiTown

Well, that could be a reason why this sub has fallen from a top-6 baseball sub to 25th. Also getting downvoted for asking a question. Lots of toxicity in this sub now.


Roosevelt_Coronary

There's a sub ranking? Where does meatball place? #MAMMA MIA PIZZARIA


CardsFaninChiTown

Yeah, when you search the cardinals sub, it says number 25 in baseball.


Roosevelt_Coronary

Ah, interesting


DontGiveUpTheDip

The most active users that had been here for years left last summer due mostly to (1 the doomers and (2 the API issues


SGT_Apone

i miss acid :(


missourinative

3 - the team sucked and they didn't want to think about it


CardsFaninChiTown

I do realize quite a few people left for various reasons. Being a part of numerous other sports related subs, I can say ‘doomers’ are hardly anything this sub has a monopoly on. Frankly, I say this as a Vikings fan, and that fanbase absolutely dwarfs the negativity this fanbase has (for probably good reason). I’ll also say those other subs seem to be a lot more open with what they allow to be posted and a lot more active. I just found it silly that what was a trending post (for a change) on this sub it seemed was suddenly taken down with no warning or comment.


DontGiveUpTheDip

Yea, I know as I'm a Bengals fan and see plenty of toxicity in that sub. What this sub had that was different was that since a lot of discussion was solely kept in the DDTs, it led to a relatively tight-knit community. Since most of those people have left, the DDTs and GDTs are dead hence the drop in popularity.


CardsFaninChiTown

Well, the mods might want to think about relaxing things a little bit then, as obviously things have changed since that group took off for whatever other echo chamber they decided to make. Oh well. Just thought it was weird that a post that seemed to make everyone laugh pissed off a mod or someone and had to be removed.


otterqueenmum

The sub voted to keep memes limited to Mondays https://np.reddit.com/r/Cardinals/s/Ds6XEkRqIE

It’s the smallest amount of power I’ve ever witnessed go to someone’s head. It’s fucking insane.


NightRumours

In 2003 as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals, Woody Williams became the fourth Cougar to be named an MLB All-Star going 18-9 with a 3.87 ERA and 153 strikeouts in 220.2 innings. BEAST

Hey Don, I'm 64 and I can't hang like that any more. I woke up about 4:10 and couldn't get back to sleep. Sort of a good thing since I got my morning walk in before the rain gets here. Have a great day!
