Cool

a rough stretch

Tough week to look at. A 2-5 week. That's the biggest factor right now. Making it worse, getting outscored by 5 in a week. That tanks the score.

Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals are reeling after a painful 11-9 loss to the Seattle Mariners, dropping them to fourth in the NL Central with a 14-12 record. The recent stretch of 3-4, with a disappointing run differential of -2, showcases the fragility of this squad. Manager Oli Marmol is turning to fresh blood, promoting Hunter Dobbins from Triple-A to make his debut as the team navigates a grueling 17-game stretch. While the offense has shown flashes, with players like Jordan Walker batting .278, the pitching has become a liability, allowing 5.1 runs per game over the past week. As the Cardinals face the Mariners again, the pressure mounts not just to win, but to build resilience amidst adversity and make the right moves in the trade market.

John Mozeliak was very indecisive at times, and it cost the St. Louis Cardinals a chance to capitalize on a top trade chip. Chaim Bloom has an opportunity to succeed where Mozeliak fell short by trading a reliever at top value, this time Riley O'Brien.

Marmol proud of young Cards' resilience in tough series vs. Mariners

ST. LOUIS -- The Cardinals understand that it’s a foundational year for everything the club’s brass wants to build for the long haul. The way a clubhouse reacts to a tough loss -- or a stretch of them -- can be noteworthy. But like a weekend-long déjà vu, the Cardinals
