last night's loss

Perfectly average, for better or worse. Down by 2 last night. That result hits the score hard. Counterbalancing that, a 3.4 RA/G from the staff this week. Clean work.

Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals are caught in a whirlwind of action and concern as they navigate a challenging season, currently sitting at 51-45. After a promising 5-4 victory over the Diamondbacks, the team quickly faced a setback, with Dustin May struggling in a lackluster 5-3 loss against Arizona. The offense, which remains a work in progress, was held in check, illustrating the need for more consistency as they gear up for their next match against the same foes. On a brighter note, the Cardinals made headlines with a trade involving Chris Roycroft, acquiring promising right-hander Trey Pooser, while also promoting the talented Chase Davis to Triple-A, hinting at future roster depth. Amidst these developments, the organization showed its heart by contributing to relief efforts in Venezuela, reminding us that baseball is more than just a game.
