Have they won a series yet this year? It feels like that is a good next step to trying to at least attain mediocrity at this point.

They won the opening series. That's it I believe.

Salazar has been pretty damn amazing. We forget how young he is, and the change-up the last 2 outings has elevated his game to another level. Hopefully he keeps perfecting it.

He is averaging over 100 pitchers per start. The good thing is Francona hasn't pushed him past 6 innings really. Anymore than twice through the order and he usually gets lit up.

Not true in the slightest the last 2 times out. He owned the Royals (of course, after he have up 3 runs in the 1st lol).

He has only been throwing the change for like 3 starts, and they have gotten progressively better. He had 9 Ks with it today, and threw it 85% for a strike. That's tremendous.

I am going off mostly from last year. this year he hasn't gone more than 7 innings, and been getting a lot of Ks, so he isn't facing batters really more than twice. Hopefully his change up continues to keep batters off balance enough.

Who is going to start the Cardinals thread? Anybody not started one? Need some new blood to shake it up a bit.
