SAD NEWS: Lance Lynn Ends Relationship with St. Louis Cardinals Today after finding out he was….
The St. Louis Cardinals (15-23) just lost their sixth straight game on Friday night as they matched up with the first-place Milwaukee Brewers (23-15), and it’s fair to say that their season and an era of Cardinals’ baseball are on the line this weekend.
After losing 7-1 on Sonny Gray bump day Thursday night, the club was run over once again by the Brew Crew, dropping game two by a score of 11-2 as the wheels came completely off the tracks for this team.
There is nothing you can look at from this club right now that makes you believe Saturday’s game will be any different, but if they want to salvage this season, this is a must-win game.
The offense continues to be the main storyline, but much like how the rotation’s struggles last year impacted all areas of the team by mid-May, the offense is having the same kind of negative impact on this pitching staff and defense.
The pitching and defense have been vastly improved compared to 2023 so far, but in recent days they both have taken steps backward, and I think it’s fair to say the offensive woes have contributed to that.
The offense finally put up more than three runs in a game, but Miles Mikolas imploded in the fifth inning, getting tagged for six runs without recording a single out.
The offense did fight back in the form of two solo home runs from Alec Burleson and Lars Nootbaar, but their 2-10 effort with runners and scoring position doomed them once again.
