Next seven games

[NinersSBChamps]

We start a seven game home stand with 3 against the Cardinals and 4 with the Rockies. What do you realistically expect and what would you take or be happy with.

I think we'll go 3-4. With all wins coming against the Rockies. I'd be happy with a 4-3 home stand.

[weso1]

7-0

[BlackwaterPark]

2-5

[skidlee]

I was just thinking about the next 3 games and said to myself, " I don't see us winning any of the next 3 games".

I say we go 3-4 aswell. Anything better I would be thrilled.

[Carp]

5-2. Cards are going to come crashing back down to Earth in the 2nd half.

[zitothebrave]

4-3 Win the cards split the Rocks. But who knows.

It's sad but I think I would take 3-4.

[CyYoung31]

LOL, I love all this white flag waving by everyone. I bet we take 2 out of 3 vs. STL.

[NinersSBChamps]

LOL, I love all this white flag waving by everyone. I bet we take 2 out of 3 vs. STL.

We could and then lose 3/4 from Colorado.

[skidlee]

I don't see that as being a white flag waiver. Our offense has not been great and they have an offense that will score runs every night.

Minor has to bring is a game. And the offense has to score off Wainwirght.

[NYCBrave]

4-3 Win the cards split the Rocks. But who knows.

I'm guessing this as well.

[Dalyn]

12-2.

[jgriff3029]

I'll go with 5-2. It might just be me but this team seems to play good teams better than the teams they should beat.

[bravesfan247]

LOL, I love all this white flag waving by everyone. I bet we take 2 out of 3 vs. STL.

Id take that bet every day of the week and twice on Sunday. NO CHANCE.

If the Braves beat them once, jump for joy.

[CyYoung31]

Make it official. In the Wild Wild Joe West.

[parkvadawg]

Feel we get the fans to think we are awesome again. 6-1

[Julio3000]

5-2. A couple more run-producers will step up.

[bravesfan247]

Make it interesting. Problem is I cant pull against the Braves.

[nsacpi]

Well will sweep the Cards and be swept by the Rockies. There will be some complaints about the team being inconsistent.

[GovClintonTyree]

5-2. A couple more run-producers will step up.

5-2. We're starting to swing the bats and the pitching will stabilize.

Nice.

No chance? This is baseball. The Astros could sweep the Cards.

[bravesfan247]

No chance? This is baseball. The Astros could sweep the Cards.

The Cards have 3 of the top 5 avg guys in baseball. They have 5 in the top 30. 2 of the starters we face have ERA's under 3. (A guy with an era under 5 shuts us down) And then Joe Kelly, the other starter, has an ERA of 3.88. Their closer is 30/32 in save opportunities.

Tonight: Minor vs Wainwright. (No chance. Minor is good but we wont score. Lose 5-0)
Tomorrow: Kelly vs Terehan: There's the chance. We could win this one.
Sunday: Miller vs Medlen: I laughed, a lot. (This one will be ugly)

So what? The worst team wins 40% of the time. We're a good team. You don't think we could reach Edward Mujica or that Dan Uggla could run into one against Shelby Miller or that Kris Medlen could get away with a couple pitches over the plate and shut them out?

The cardinals lack killer instinct. They can't beat the Marlins. In baseball you should beat every lesser team 100% of the time. Otherwise the teams love of the game should be questioned.

[Heyward]

Cardinals matchups are tough, i'd say 3-4 or 4-3, but who knows with this team.

Minor needs to pitch one of his best games of the year tonight, not many maybe if any runs off Waino.

They are good, but hardly the 27 Yankees.

I do pretty much agree, but they aren't unbeatable.

We probably have to win tonight to have any shot, and that's tough with how good Waino is.

I was just about the post this almost verbatim, but you've luckily saved me the trouble.

Good call, what's the lotto numbers this week?

[skidlee]

0 for 2.

Well he did say we had a chance to win this one. So lets say 0-1-1.

[Heyward]

Well he did say we had a chance to win this one. So lets say 0-1-1.

He said Sat was our best shot.

I agree that our chances are slim tomorrow but that's why they play the game.

He was also bowing down to the Cards as if they are invincible.

[bravesfan247]

Ok i was wrong. They looked invincible.

Should i get my hopes up for tomorrow?

And someone please explain why we can look soooooooooo bad and then look good?

[Heyward]

I don't like our chances tomorrow either but I also thought we'd lose to Waino so who knows?

Maybe Meds hurls a gem.

No idea why, very frustrating.

Cards are good but they were not gonna keep hitting at this insane rate with RISP, just not possible.

Because the grass is always greener on the other side. Look up the game thread on the cardinals scout site and they are just as pessimistic about their team as many are about ours. Heres some quotes for you

"I see us getting swept in Atlanta. Paper tigers..."

"Pitiful at bats since the first inning. Craig took a fast ball right down the middle for third strike. Bad time for Beltran and Craig to both go into tailspins. Don't know how long Kelly can hold the Braves off in this one, but he has been doing his best."

"That's because we're worthless against quality pitching clubs - ie Texas, Atlanta."

"Can't get a hit it our lives depended on it. Simply amazing."

"2 hits after seven. Pathetic.. I hate the Braves."

"This is looking like 2-9 road trip to me."

"Not to worry or panic. I expected to lose two of three in Atlanta. If we lose tomorrow, however, that wont be a good thing.

Remember, going into this series we had about a 10 game lead in the wild card race. Even if we go 3-8 or 2-9 on this road trip we should still have around a 5 game lead for the wild card. And that's the main thing, just get into the playoffs."

And thats a game thread with only 32 posts total.
