35-7 so far the last 2 years I think and still have 3 games to go. That has to be some kind of record by a huge margin. They would be like 16 games over just this month if they win out? |

I hate Schildt's happy talk to the media, everything is posiitive. But, that is not about his performance as a manger on the field. I'm on the Schilt bandwagon. You forget the last couple of years of Matheny baseball? Embarrassing defense, base running? Looked like they didn't even care? I don't understand why you hate him? He didn't give all those bad contracts to aging players. He has to work with what he is given. So what did he do with what he has given that the manager can somewhat control in MLB? Schildt turned around the horrible team base running(no one can fix Carp and Martinez bad base running). Stealing bases in this era. Strong defense.They play like they care. Bullpen management. I think he makes the right decision to pull or stay with the pithcher 95% of the time. Look at the guys in the dugout. He obviously has the locker room. STL has been known for decades now for not beating themselves, strong starting pitching, base running, defense and clawing ad scratching for wins, never giving up on a game. Well we are here again. He's in the national discussion for manager of the year for crissakes. Whats your beef here? |

He’s right, FG war says 13 pitching 14 offense or 83 wins, which would be 80 in the big boys league....and that many only since you’d feast on the plankton like us and Detroit and Baltimore.

Like I said - anybody that can manage to cobble together one of the best BP performances in the league despite having Trevor Miller and Tyler Webb as his primary lefties is a friggen miracle worker, especially after losing his closer mid-stream and watching his most trusted early/mid-season reliever (Gant) start to stumble late. He really does seem to have a damn nice touch with the 'pen and it's made a huge difference. PGM remains an idiot in that he will acknowledge that the team talent level is mediocre but simultaneously try to argue that Shildt is a bad manager. Can't have both, sport. A mediocre team with a bad manager doesn't win 90+. |

I love that you're right there ready to stand behind anyone that supports you but when anyone points out your idiocy you just scurry away and dodge the point entirely.
Care to back up your vaginal bleeding with ANY kind of substance w/r/t Shildt? I suspect you won't have anything to offer. |

Eight days ago if you told everyone that the Cardinals would go 5-2 against the Cubs and D'Backs everyone would have taken it. The last two games sucked, but Milwaukee playing out of their ass is beyond the Cardinals' control.
If you want to bitch, blame Gant and Fernandez for the 9th inning implosion against Milwaukee. If they had closed that game out, the Cardinals are up three with three to go. |
