The Braves got such an incredible start to the season that despite going 6-11 in their last 17, they're still in first place. They need to get this shift fixed.
Looks like the Cards have quietly become the class of the NL. Checked the box scores this morning and they're sitting at 20-11.
It's all been starting pitching (I'd like to send that to the owner of the Angels - spend all that money on bats, and they still suck). We are a full run better than anyone else in the NL with our starters. Our bullpen, however, is the worst in baseball. You turn on Baseball Tonight, though, and it's like baseball doesn't exist west of the Hudson River and outside L.A.
I expect the starters to revert to mean sooner or later though. Although it's nice to see that 4 of the 5 starters, the Cards have locked in for at least 3 more years - and 2 of them are either in their 2nd season, or their rookie year.
