Man, this is depressing. I live out in the front range and have watched alot of rockies games. they havent looked this good since april. What the heck is going on? Yesterday we did look apathetic, but today it just felt different. We got schooled.
Consistency has been there issue all year. I have been worried about it but I look back at the standings are we still sit at 4 ahead. Maybe I’m getting too confident but it seems like we haven’t been bitten by our randomly off games.The last 16 games will be even more difficult. They will have decent pitching but need to get more than 1 run a game then blurt 10 in only 1 game.
Uh, the last 2 games.Consistency has been there issue all year. I have been worried about it but I look back at the standings are we still sit at 4 ahead. Maybe I’m getting too confident but it seems like we haven’t been bitten by our randomly off games.

Exactly, but we didn’t lose ground in the central. (Those two games really frustrating btw)Uh, the last 2 games.
The whole division has been inconsistent, with pitching and scoring. Cards have played teams with a winning record at just below .500 clip (34-37). If they play .500, while playing the teams chasing them, we will be all good! ps- Cubs are 38-42 vs .500, Brewers, surprisingly, 48-40. D'backs, 36-40, Nats, 38-44.Exactly, but we didn’t lose ground in the central. (Those two games really frustrating btw)

Yea, everyone needs to take solace in the fact that a 4 game lead is actually pretty daunting at this point in the season, with only 16 games to play.
I know they play the Cubs in 7 of those games, but regardless of opponent, if the Cardinals just go 8-8 the Cubs or Brewers have to go 12-4 just to tie. Going 12-4 is not easy.
I am not freaking out. I understand the mathematics behind it all. But it is slightly more complex than simply saying all they have to do is to go "8-8". It's a matter of WHO do they lose those 8 games to. I doubt it will happen but IF they lose ALL 7 to the Cubs, going 8-8 won't help much. The Brewers only play 3 games so the typical play 8-8 works a little better against them.
Don't look now but the cubs whipped Pittsburgh 8-17. They had 3 innings with 5 runs or more.
It also helped that the Pirates have a AAA pitching staff.It also helped that the wind was blowing out at about 20 MPH.

So the Reds are starting a relief pitcher in centerfield tonight. Good to see they’re are putting forth the effort to try and win or compete. With all the call ups, they don’t have an outfielder to play?
