I’m curious, What’s y’all’s level of expectation for the 2nd half of the season? I’m a diehard and watch almost every game and I’m now starting to get to a dangerous level of expectation. Best record in baseball and we have taken it to the Rays, who have the 2nd best record. We have looked pretty great the past 2 months and I don’t know if it’s been discussed much on this thread.

117+ wins and a Series title so we mention this team in the same breath as the ‘27 Yankees.

Expect the worst once playoffs start

If this team doesn't win it all it will be a huge disappointment.

Will be interesting to see what the injury is with Minter. Maybe looking for a bullpen arm.

I think we should give the starters a little more rest in July and August. This lineup has basically played every game.

What’s handy is that they don’t have any major holes that would prompt giving away top prospects for a rental. Wouldn’t mind seeing Bednar or Graveman come over, though.

I just hope Strider can get some rest before the playoffs. He was completely out of gas at the end of last year and we are going to need him at 100%.

Fried is about to start coming back so that should help. He hasn't been great in the postseason so far in his career but you have to believe he will eventually figure it out.

1) The offense is loaded and we shouldn't have any issues scoring runs no matter who is on the mound. Stupid good offense all the way through to Harris.
2) Need a bullpen arm. 3rd in ERA this year and first in ERA and saves since the first of June but something still doesn't sit right with me. From what it sounds like, nothing major to report on AJ from last night. Im still not 100% confident "yet" on Iglasies being that lockdown closer.
3) Hope that Max and Kyle come back and see no dropoff in production. Max has a rehab game today in Gwinnett, so hopefully he comes out of that sharp.
4) Its getting harder and harder to get good seats here. And if you dont pay good $$$ to park in those few lots next to the walkover bridge, bring a water bottle because its a bit of a haul to walk.

Im with you on the tickets. We have quit trying to go on weekends and just go on weeknights. But we live in Marietta so it’s easy for us to do that. As far as parking goes, we park at the Costco and walk over the bridge. It’s not a bad walk.

They are the best team in baseball in my opinion. That does not always equal a championship though. Gotta stay hot

 

[Curby]

There are a bunch of Cardinals fans on this forum.
They are not happy.

You shoulda come with us to that HR derby last Friday night. Soler even hit one out to an ovation for the marlins.

Yea man Ive learned my lesson on the parking. Seat Geek is almost $40 now to park in the lots closest not named Delta ugh. Never thought about that Costco though. I'm sure its only going to get worse the more we win and the more excitement builds around here. I agree on the weekdays though. Im looking to try and get some to hopefully the Monday game vs the Angels if Ohtani is pitching.

That was a show! Good you got to see that in person bro. Ya'll need to come back here soon and lets hit up a good series.

This was impressive. Although I must admit Truist hotdogs are NOT great to me.
