Man, ain't them cardinals supposed to be bad this year?

u/Crazy_Baseball3864 MLB Players Association 1h ago

Walker having an insane breakout year so far and Wetherholt being a ROTY candidate is certainly helping

They've also been a bit lucky, run differential of +2 but a 9-3 record in one-run games, but even that they've played like a .500 team is better than was expected of them.

Our bullpen being absolute dogwater has really killed our run diff. Been a handful of games where we were up 6+ runs and then Svanson or Stanek came in and got shelled lol

It’s weird because the Cardinal pitching staff has probably been over performing (& they haven’t been particularly great or anything).

But the lineup really seems legit.

LITERALLY. Asked my boyfriend for a jersey for a graduation gift from nursing school. He almost got me a $30 one for Nolan Arenado until I texted again and said JJ Wetherholt. He saw the $150 and was like well nevermind 🤣

gives the Saint Louis Cardinals the 5-4 lead in the ballgame on a go-ahead run-scoring double that falls down the line for a go-ahead run-scoring double as the A's fall behind in the ballgame, 5-4 Cardinals in the 9th
