St Louis Cardinals 2026

Oli gets a 2 year extension while all the players are on 1 year contracts.
All the players? That is quite a stretch.

Oli is so good at managing a bullpen, keeping guys fresh. Chaim is good with him for at least two years, so am I. After all, I don't think you are going to learn much about his management abilities based on W-L this year, so this definitely puts the focus where it needs to be, on player evaluation and performance.

the last thing this team needs right now is a change in who the manager is...........Marmol has done a very good job managing the Cardinals with what he's had to work with.................he seems to be a player's type manager and that is important in this full rebuild and reset.................

yes , he has done an admirable job managing the bullpen with what he's had to work with........Helsley was such a dilemma as a closer even though he had numerous saves in his Cardinal's career.....his time with the Mets left a lot to be desired as he now is with , I think , the Orioles........I wonder what his numbers will be in the future..............

I am looking forward to this year with hopes that we see some improvement from Gorman , Walker , etc .....I really really am..................

Cubs weekend $95.50, Sunday only $73. The midweek series $65.50, but we are just coming home from a trip. Cooling my heels would probably be my preference.

We have a daughter near Miami. They are big Cub fans. The best seats in the house are around the Big Mac Cubs price. Bad part, they encourage guests to bring noisemakers and musical instruments. Their "big" screen is awful, and they only show Marlin highlights even though there are more Cub fans.
They schedule teams with a following on the weekends. The place is nearly empty when teams with no following are there.

I have read that the unlimited refers to the number of times you can get in line. But you are limited ton 3 items each trip.

Yes. It wouldn't be fair if someone walked off with 30 hotdogs.

The last time they had unlimited Coke at Busch Stadium, Whitey Herzog ended up trading away Keith Hernandez...

Just in case you forgot how smooth Masyn is.
Reports that Baez has looked pretty good. He has hit a few 420+ft blast. Goold has said that JJ might be the best hitter right now. I've also heard Ivan is doing his thing. If all is true, I like where we stand with JJ, Masyn, Alec, Ivan, and Baez. Pretty good 5 to start this rebuild with.
