Series until we get in it - Have to win this game 1st

Our bullpen has been good since mid-August, but the starting pitching is scary. For us, not so much for the opponents.

Lester looks much better in front of the Cards defense since the trade but he didn't get 6 years younger over the summer.

Mikolas is shaky. JA Happ is all smoke and mirrors. Kim is in the bullpen and Flaherty is not ready for more than an inning.

That leaves Dakota Hudson who has looked sharp in limited innings since coming back. But he's coming back from Tommy John Surgery, so yeah... not ideal

But we only won 8 games in June and were under .500 at the ASG.

I had given up on the season long ago, so everything happening now is gravy

Go Cards!
