Buzzy, if you want to see a recipe for championships, look no further than this tidibit I saw on the Twatterz...

The Cardinals traded for Nolan Arenado in 2021.

He was the 9th oldest player on the opening day roster (including DL)

Then 3 years passed.

Nolan Arenado is currently the 10th oldest player on the roster.

The Cardinals wAARP+ is going to be off the charts.

Cards expected to announce the signing of 37 year old shortstop Brandon Crawford later this morning. FML.

These fuckers are older than Snags.

Yeah, but I can still pick it at the hot corner.

I was hoping for Ozzie Smith to mentor Brody Moore.

You're laughing now, but I still hope you're rooting for Cody Bellinger in 8 years, when the Cards sign him when his contract with the Cubs is done.

Are you going to attend any of the games on the Albert Pujols Farewell Tour?

Big name splash the Cards signed in the off season, Sonny Grey, leaves a preseason game after throwing 20 pitches with "discomfort" in his hammy.

Great.

How's the offense looking? Glad you asked. We have scored 5 runs in the past 40 innings.

We may not win 62 games.

Well, depending on the seriousness of the injury, we may be without the NL MVP for the first month of the season. Sending Acuna to a specialist to see what is causing "irritation" in his meniscus.

I haven't really been paying attention, but I rarely do to Spring Training. We recently switched to Youtube TV, so I'm going to have to check if they even carry the Braves. I know we don't get the Hawks, but no biggee there, because they suck balls.

We switched to the YouTubz too, and we don't get Bally sports (formerly Fox Sports). Will have to either find someone with a charter tv account that will let me stream with their password, or subscribe to Bally Sports and watch on the app (you can watch shit ass baseball for only 19.99/month).

Watching the MLB Network last night and saw that MGM Bets has you guys as the odds on favorite to win the Central.
Alls I know is that it won't be the Cubs.

Sweet Barking Jesus, I had to go look that up...

Team     Odds   Open   Tickets   Handle
St. Louis Cardinals   175     250     12.5%   12.3%
Chicago Cubs     200     185     22.4%   28.3%
Cincinnati Reds     350     425     45.3%   44.2%
Milwaukee Brewers   650     400     7.6%   8.6%
Pittsburgh Pirates   1600   2500   12.2%   6.6%

Either they read Snags attempts at reverse mojo and take it serious, or they are on some really fucking good drugs.

There is no way the Cardinals will win 81 games this year.

I'm bitchin' and moanin'. Can't gripe about being 11-5. I can gripe about our starting catcher being out all season, Ozzie Albies going on the DL with a fractured big toe, and Spenser Strider being lost for maybe two years. Jeez Louise, we're not even 3 full weeks in.

Murphy should be back by June. Slow to heal but a strained oblique shouldn't be a huge deal for the whole season. Long as they have the roster healthy by end of summer, just need to tread water for the playoff spots until then.

Strider will be missed but they are probably going to make a deal/trade of some sort. Bauer wouldn't be the worst idea since all of the allegations against him are falling apart.

Good thing the Braves have a ton of depth.

Yeah, they held the starting staff together last season with twine and chicken wire. Fried was out a ton, while Kyle Wright basically missed the whole season. It was a new arm up from Gwinnett every week.

Speaking of, the Braves just took down the Astros 5-4 in extras. They were two down going into the 9th. Swept the Stro's in Houston. Don't know what's going on with them, but they're off to a dismal start.
