Garcia ain't forkin around this year dawg. He is not the Jaime of old. If he had run production he'd have a record far more indicative of how well he's pitched.
It's all good. I think Matheney will work the odds on matchups and like Wu said maybe some home-away percentages.
I know he'll be looking at Garcia's era and ground outs if he can keep this up.

Only 7 of the Royals remaining 35 games are against teams with a winning record. 6 of those games are against Minnesota. Yall should be able to rest for quiet some time.
Not one pitcher with a sub 3.00 ERA either. 3 of the Royals starters have ERA's over 4.00, and one great starter has an ERA over 5.60. No wonder yall were so impressed with Queto's sub 3.00 ERA.

Martinez isn't playing either. 12-6 Looking at 13-6 3 losses he gave up 2ER, 1ER, and 1ER He also had 4 games where he gave up 2 runs of less and didn't get the win, but the Cards got the win. He could easily be a 20 game winner by now with better run support.
Garcia has been pitching lights out all year long as well and not getting run support. Hell, Lynn had several games with no run support, but I think he is out come playoff time. He would be a great guy to have in the bullpen. Its all about home away matchups like you said and day or night game. Either way.......I'd put our 4 starters up against anyone at anytime. Or throw Lynn in there for a 5th. His ERA is sub 3 also.

Let me interject...I got no skin in this game but I have split my viewing pleasure all year between the two MO teams. I predict a 7 game series if there was to be another I-70 series. Furthermore , I guarantee the Royals would beat the cards 4-3!
On another note I predict the Braves will not make the playoffs. Take that to the bank as well.

It could happen that way
AL has the hammer on having home field
2015 record Royals vs Cardinals
Royals At Home
Royals are 2W 1L
Royals At Busch
Royals are 0W and 3L
For the season Cards have the edge 4W's to 2 L's

Statistics , shamystics.......I'm going on observation , instinct and experience.....
I give the nod to St. Louis in pitching
KC gets the nod in offense and defense .
Therefore trigonometry = KC

Uh......I realize you watch the Braves a bunch............great pitching usually hampers the hitting and takes that out of the equation. Then you have to factor in the Royals pitching.....which has the Redbirds taking the series in Game 5 in STL.
Mark it down boomer.

It could be worse.
In the nl central your team would be 29 games out.

Uh, if they take 2 that means AZ took 2. Since we lost 2 of 3 in SD, that would make us 3-4 for the 7 games. Go back to talking about bicycle riding. You are clearly not smart enough to discuss the complexities of what is above .500 and what is below .500, for a 7 game run... 
7-3 on that west coast trip. Is the glass still half empty in sad Andy land???
Redbirds before the west coast trip were 4 1/2 games up on Shittsburg......and well wouldn't you know it, the sky hasn't fallen and the Cardinals are still 4 1/2 up on Shittsburg. Elimination for the once great Reds is 3 games. For the once almighty BrewCrew 4 games. It's apat Sept 1 and with 50-11 injuries, the cards are still Rolling.

25 of Shittsburg's next 32 games are against the NL Central. They are 21-29 against the Central. Just some thoughts. They have killed the NL East this year and done well against the NL West. Only 6 of their games are against the west to finish the season.

Huge win last night for several reasons:
- Offense been criticized for being less than stellar. Offense won that game.
- Pitching staff gets notice that the team can win if they have a bad night. Takes a little pressure off.
- Matheny gets a huge rescue after leaving Siegrist in 2 batters too long (bone headed managerial move that he got away with).
- Serves notice to Pirates and Cubs that they can win all they want. Cards are winning this Division.
- Further annoys Royals fans that the Cardinals are just better, all the way around.
- A few players needed a boost at the plate and got it with hits, runs scored and RBI's.
Going to be interesting to see how Gonzales fares tonight. Really nice to see Martinez get a rest but I suspect tonight will tax the bullpen a bit. Even if Gonzales pitches well, I doubt they let him throw more than 80 or 90 pitches (maybe even less). Maybe they can keep the bats going and build up enough of a lead to put in Villanueva for 2 or 3 innings. Hopefully Gonzales does well and can take one of Wacha's starts.
Go Cards!!

Oh, almost forgot... I am not a Tim McCarver hater but I understand how he annoys some people. Last night was a night the McCarver haters must have been going out of their minds. He said some interesting stuff but mixed in a whole bunch of stupidity and idiocy. And his age is showing. He says some things that you know drive Dan McLaughlin (and formerly Joe Buck) absolutely bananas...
Here's to old baseball guys losing their minds but carrying on anyway...

I think McCarver has worked out really well in the local booth. He is not a total homer, nor should he be, but pretty nice to have him end his career where it started and show the Cardinals the respect he has for them.
I'll take McCarver over Hungo and Horton all day long.
Cards offense is definitely picking up.
As for potential playoff rotation I now think this group will have to play out September to see what's best. It's actually a great thing to say about the bubble guys to not be sure, nothing wrong with that and I am guessing even Matheney doesn't know right now either.
I don't think Matheney has Lackey on the bubble, don't think he will go there against his vet, but dang Martinez and Garcia and Lynn are making him think about things.
Agree on resting who he can down the line. Since we are not a sure bet, not in a dumpster division, he has to be careful when and who. Hope Yadi makes that list too.

Unless he gets hurt or falls apart, I can see Lackey starting every home game possible, in the post season. The rest is a crap shoot... You can make a pretty good argument for just about any scenario you come up with. My best guess would be to have Martinez come out of pen. Not because he doesn't deserve to start but because he may be the best of the starters to come out of the pen.
What a nice problem to have...
