Really rooting for a sub-70 win season

Ownership needs to wake the eff up. A decade-plus of living off the shitty central division where 85 wins can sneak you into the playoffs has to stop.

Now that there’s no longer 19 games against the division, it doesn’t work.*

I don't think it's unreasonable to want change

But 85 wins to sneak into the playoff is significantly more likely in today's game than any other time.

4 teams made the playoffs last year with win totals in the 80s including 2 with 84 wins.

The last time any team has won the NL Central with 85 wins was the Cubs 17 years ago.

The Cardinals have won the NL Central 5 times over the last decade and they've averaged 94 wins in those seasons.

Fair enough, I was intentionally using hypoerbole

But other than the 2015 100 win season (when they lost 3-1 in the DS to the Cubs), in the last 10 years they won the division with 90, 91, and 93 wins and had 86, 83, 88, and 71 wins in the other years (excepting the COVID season).

Meanwhile the NL West winner has averaged 99 wins in that time, and the NL East 95 wins.

So yes, 85 wins was hyperbole, but I still think it's fair to say management has coasted on the NL Central being a much less challenging division.

The non-19 game change happened last year.

The Cards feasted on a bad division prior to that.
