Emotional Twist: Right Fielder Jordan Walker angry, announced resignation and departure from St. Louis Cardinals today….

Hitting home runs is the main duty. His defensive limitations are ten times more apparent when he isn’t doing so. Hopefully, a walk-off Yahtzee was exactly what he needed to regain his rhythm.

Though it was tempting to write about Jordan Walker here, there isn’t much the former top prospect can do right now to help the Cardinals get back on track given that he was just assigned to AAA. Except for a fantastic swing on Monday night, Nolan Gorman has been almost as useless as he remains.

Gorman’s OPS, even with his game-winning home run against the Arizona Diamondbacks, is only.634, a long cry from the.805 he had in his promising age-23 year. He’s walking less, striking out more, and not hitting the ball in the air nearly enough—his fly ball rate is 15% below his 2023 pace, which was fruitful.

Gorman was a plodding second baseman with a broken glove.

Only two of the 59 balls that Goldschmidt has played this season have been deemed barrels. There’s never been a power outage this worrying since he’s found it so difficult to make good contact. There’s no assurance that trademark power will return at age 36.

Goldschmidt and fellow corner infielder Nolan Arenado need to revert to their 2022 form if the Cardinals are to make any progress in 2024. The series that St. Louis plays this weekend against the New York Mets is critical for both Goldschmidt personally and the team as a whole as they prepare to take on a possible Wild Card obstacle.

It really is a shocker that this is the same Paul Goldschmidt who won National League MVP just 18 months ago. But by the same token, it’s shocking how much worse this Cardinals team is than their 2022 division champion selves, which largely correlates to the downturn in production from their stars like Goldy.

The Cards were depending on these players to be a real contender in Major League Baseball this coming season. St. Louis cannot afford to wait much longer for them to step up—their play has been utterly disappointing.

Though there is still time to salvage this season, too much has already gone wrong too fast to trust that the Cardinals will have the appropriate recipe to contend for a postseason berth in 2024. It’s possible that big changes will need to be made during the season, but that won’t matter unless a number of underwhelming players turn things around.

The St. Louis Cardinals’ expectations that their awful 2023 season was finally over had already started to wane. With an 11–14 start, the Redbirds are in last place in the National League Central and have the third-worst run differential (-26) in the entire National League.

Four Cardinals are primarily to blame for the 2024 season’s poor start.
In St. Louis, things will get even harder in 2024.
