Good news, Cards fans!
Matt Holliday's swing is almost completely inside out at this point so any expectation that his power will come back is probably going to go unrealized. Brandon Moss still blows and Yadier Molina is still a first pitch hacker who's prone to weak contact. That's only our 3, 5 and 6 hitters so no big deal. This offense is going to be absolutely abysmal and no, the pitching will absolutely not be as good as it was last year because that kind of string luck simply will not hold. The folks that expect the pitching to be as good as it was sound just like the people who figured the .325 BA with RISP from 2011 meant we'd still be a badass offense in 2012. To be fair, they don't 'sound just like' those people, they are those people. This team is just way too fond of seeing luck as skill.

This is a good thing. Oquendo is a horrible 3B coach.

Dunno that I've ever been this disinterested in a Cardinals season ever. Just no excitement at all.

Didn't read that entire article but are they really freaking out about a Spring Training record? Last I checked, the Reds were the only team with a winning record in the central. The Cards, Cubs, and Pirates records are all trash.
EDIT: Now the Reds even have a losing record. The Brewers, currently sporting a .500 record, are the only team without one. |

The Cardinals cut back on reps to try to keep everyone fresh for late Sept./Oct.
