That doesn't work for people in market, only out of market. See how ridiculous this is? Its easier for out of market fans to watch the games than in market fans.

There’s six teams I get blacked out of in Des Moines. If those teams aren’t playing each other that’s almost half the league I could be blacked out of at any given day. Closest stadium to me is 3 hours away.

Should have done that after last season, instead we gave an extension to the manager and ownership claimed the FO is doing good work.
This team is 3 years away from being relevant if they got someone with half a brain in charge tomorrow. |

They could've started last deadline and into the offseason and been a few steps down the road; probably about where the Reds were in 2019. The Reds have slowly built their foundation back (with no meaningful fan support) and have managed .500 records or better in 3 of the last 4 seasons, with a team that's gotten younger every season. Now they're in the tough spot of finishing off the rebuild and making themselves relevant. But they have a foundation in place that would allow for good decisions that could bring them back to 90 win territory. Now the Reds draw less than 2 million fans/season so they'll struggle there. But this team shouldn't. You give the Cardinals a young foundation that can get them to .500 and a smart front office and they absolutely should be able to get to 90-92 wins again. And with a little luck and development, they can push that to 96+. This team just lacks any sort of vision to even be seen in the same light as a fairly mediocre franchise like Cincy. Those guys aren't full of wiz kids over there - it's a pretty average front office. They're just better than the arrogant and rudderless ship this mess of a squad has. |

.500 is a pipe dream for this club. The solid pitching isn't going to hold up especially with the lack of offense stressing the **** out of them everyday having to be near perfect.

They take pride in not giving a shit about actual success. The BFIB are the goddamn worst. |

That sequence right there sums up how
dumb the Cardinals are at baseball. Get a 2 run double with 2 outs to tie it and get thrown out by a mile trying to stretch it to 3rd for no ****ing reason at all. Hey dumb**** you likely score from 2nd on a base hit with 2 outs anyway. |
