Tough week to look at. 2-5 in their last 7. Not the week they wanted. Pair that with the mound has been a liability at 6.3 RA/G.

Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals are in a tailspin, having dropped five of their last seven games, including a heartbreaking 4-5 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday. With a record of 68-70, the team is reeling from pitching woes, allowing an alarming 6.3 runs per game over that stretch. As the roster expands tomorrow, the arrival of catching prospect Leo Bernal alongside pitcher Hancel Rincon adds urgency to a situation where the future of Pedro Pages is increasingly uncertain. With injuries piling up and a lackluster response from the lineup, including Matthew Liberatore’s recent struggles, the Cardinals must figure out how to reclaim their footing before it’s too late.

Meet new St. Louis Cardinals Leonardo Bernal and Hancel Rincon

It is technically August 31st, but the Cardinals are off today, which means that when the Cardinals next take the field tomorrow, they are allowed to carry two extra players. They can only carry a maximum of 14 pitchers, so the two new players will be a position player and a pitcher. Last night, it […]

Pirate Homers, Cardinals Sloppy Play Help Pittsburgh Win Series Sunday

With JJ Wetherholt being sent to the injured list, the St. Louis Cardinals lineup for Sunday was somewhere south of inspiring. Matthew Liberatore on the mound, due to his recent struggles, wasn’t a reason for optimism either. The good news is that baseball games are played on a field and not on paper or limited […]
