***Official 2014 STL Cardinals thread part II***

Original thread was getting to large for the board

2011 WS Championship
2012 one win from another WS
2013 two wins from another WS title
2014 Central Division title and NLCS series win (so far)

This is a franchise that has made the postseason 10 times in the last 14 seasons.

Only 1 losing season since 2000.

Reached the World Series 4 times since 2004 and won as many championships (two) the past eight seasons as it did from 1965 to 2005.

Our new Manager has more post season experience than any other manager in baseball, except the Giants manager.

Made the NLCS 8 times

Three million attendance? Take it to the bank.

60 post season wins since 2004. 20+ wins more than any other team.

Matheny on Rosenthal: He is still our closer and hopefully we have a lead late and we can see him again

10 of 21 batters have reached base against Rosenthal this post season.

It's really important for our state to get one at least into the Series. Two would be ideal.


On the topic of Rosenthal, I love his arm and I'd strongly consider trading Holland even up for him if they'd do it. They have the financial muscle to extend Holland and we'd get a cost-controlled gun for the pen, ideally to close out 7 or 8 before Davis gets the call.

As good as Holland is, IMO, you should never sign relievers to FA deals. They are too volatile and their velocity drops too precipitously to make it cost effective.

If you want something else scary, consider this: Rosenthal throws a league average number of strikes and the same percentage that he threw last year, yet he has walked more than twice as many players this year than last, and he has one of the worst walk rates in the majors. This happened despite batters swinging at pitches out of the zone at a 29% rate this year compared to 37% the year before, which means that he is actually throwing more pitches in the zone overall. His swinging strike percentage did drop by 1.9%, however.

Thus, the only explanation for his walk rate is that he just loses his ****ing mind.

He's proven he can get big league hitters out and I'd feel fine about him reverting to old numbers. He might be a Drew Storen type who is better as a setup than closer but either way I like him just fine

It's been a pretty cool thing to watch on this board, and in my local community. You're some classy mother****ers, and deserve the sustained success you've achieved.

Now go whoop some Giant asses!
I think all the venom for Cardinal fans stems from their interactions in college with Cardinal fans or live in the middle of the state where the fans overlap. Not from the fans on this site.

The thing is the Cardinal fans on this site don't consider the Royals a rival. Not a single one. As far as I know. not a single Cardinal fan on this site has ill will toward the Royals fans. Most are cheering their success on the field because we know and are friends with many. They are great fans that deserve to cheer and see a winner.

Glad you are seeing a softening of views from the Royals fans. We are not the enemy. We are happy and cheering them on. Even if we get to the World Series and its I-70II, we would be cheering on our team, not rooting against the Royals.

And then there is this.............

Trevor Rosenthal had just 19 "clean" outings out of 75 appearances this year.

I've wanted the i-70 series all along. I don't mind the Cardinals at all unless they are playing KC Hope both teams pull it off.

I found this information surprising. Some Hall of Fame players never make it to the post season or only make it once.

Yadi Molina has played in 83 post season games in his career so far.

Derrik Goold is on STL radio saying he has been told that AJ is starting the game at catcher.

He was right. I am predicting a big game from him.

Good luck today Gents.

He is motivated.

You guys hear that AJ got thrown out of a game this year while he was with the Red Sox?

He needs a new ball. He turns around and says to the umpire "Give me one you can ****ing see". Ump immediately ejects him.
