  1. Can’t win ’em all. Won the set and press on. I’d love to see Keith and Green each have maintenance and resetting days but overall we gucci.

  2. Keep winning the first two and these game 3 losses really don’t faze me.

    Need at least 1 in Milwaukee to go 3-3 on the road trip.

  3. Would’ve been nice to sweep but can’t be mad about another series win.  

  4. Some concern for Keith and Greene but especially Keith as he has been DH level defensively. Also Kriedler needs to be replaced as the CFer of choice, he can’t get it right in the majors at the plate.

  5. Target field is ugly as heck and cursed by a burning car. I’m glad we’re leaving.

  6. Still ecstatic about the start to our season so far, just one game. I could pick it apart, but there’s no need. My only concern is Riley and what is being done to correct the chased pitches and strikeouts that seem to have come out of no where. Not having him at is best is one thing, but he’s actively hurting us with the ABs

  7. Can’t wait to get Kriedler out of this lineup lmao. But can’t win them all, look like the twins were ready for Mize’s splitter, and they were getting lots of swings and misses in our batters. Can’t win them all, onward to Milwaukee!

  8. I’ll take a 9-6 with their injuries and three of those losses they could have won.

  9. Hey! Cards fan who will be in town and going to the game against the O’s on the 25th. Any suggestions on where to sit for ~$25 or a good value section?

    Did some rotation math and it looks like it’ll be a Skubal start. Looking forward to seeing the stadium!

  10. It happens, got multiple Tork Bombs this series and won 2/3 so I’m satisfied. Just keep winning series and we’re good to go

  11. I can’t technically be mad at a series win, but our lineup isn’t sustainable for 162 games. We are incredibly thankful to have a top 3 rotation.
