BOLD PREDICTIONS 2026

[Radbird]

Oli is fired at the ASB. Chaim replaces him with an AI version of 1926 WSC Manager Rogers Hornsby who wins the Virtual Manager of the Year Award and becomes the only manager to win his second ‘26 World Championship.

Velazquez plays 100 games
Burleson and Svanson go to the All Star game
Scott wins a GG
Saggese hits more HRs than Walker
Gorman hits 30 HRs
Pozo plays the most games at C
Liberatore and Oli have public drama
Oli gets fired inmediately after the season

I really hope that Family Matters musical happens.

As Ghandi said, we need to be the change we want to see in the world. I think I can write the script if you can handle the score and lyrics.

I'll consider this a reality now.

A similar bold predictions thread on X had a Red Sox fan predicting a Sonny Gray no-hitter. I hope it is against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. As far as the Cardinals are concerned, I predict they will finish over .500.

The Cardinals will win a game 2-1.
Walker will get a hit in a game.
Scott II will steal a few bases.
Wart will be told to shut up.
Chip Caray will say something strange.
Dinsdale!
