Cardinals played nothing but bums for a month that’s why they were hot

Only above .500 team they played were the brewers, as soon as the schedule toughened up they lose 4 out 6 with the nationals up next then a critical 4 game series vs the cubs

These injuries tho

Those injuries tho. Sucks man

Rizzo injury didn't look good at all, that has to be a high ankle sprain.He's probably out for the season

That’s what I read. Good thing it isn’t a fracture. But it might keep him out for a bit to keep making that push.

Nope.

DJ carried this team. Our medical room looking like early '90s Europe. We have no business having the same record as y'all. Having a hot August doesn't = 2nd place for MVP

Is he even the MVP of the team?

Torres and Gio are arguably both having better seasons.

Yes.

Gleyber, love the guy. Wouldn't trade him for practically anyone. He only started hitting higher in the order recently. That's because anytime he would hit higher in the order, he wouldn't produce. Much of his damage came from him hitting 9th. DJ was the table setter.

DJ's the MVP of the team because this team didn't have a leadoff hitter. He filled that void. So many guys hurt and he plays the same natural position as Gleyber Torres, yet he's killed it at 3B and been ok at 1B and of course been elite at 2B. He doesn't have a regular position on the team and still holds it down defensively. Most importantly, just as bad as their starting pitching was their situational hitting and he's been a monster at that. Over .400 virtually the entire season in that instance.

Gio's been a godsend though. Even he got hurt, and when he was out, DJ filled in and we kept it moving.

Who do we think is gonna win the NL Cy? I'd say deGrom is the favorite at the moment but I could see a bunch of guys getting first place votes and this being one of the closest votes ever.

It took six years but Soler finally found his power that was hyped for so long.



I just saw that KC's franchise record for a season was 38. They'd never had a 40 HR season before Soler this year.

Looks like its over for the Phillies

Spend money for absolutely nothing brehs

They have themselves to blame for simply stumbling over themselves. This shyt was/is up for grabs with the NL wild card and it’s not like there was some runaway favorite that’s killing it down the stretch. But, at least Bryce got paid
