Cool

last night's loss

The indicators are pointing down. A 4-run loss last night is the biggest weight on the score. On top of that, 2-4 in their last 7. Not the week they wanted.

Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals continue to flounder, dropping their last game 0-4 to the Miami Marlins and extending their losing streak to four games. The lack of timely hitting has been a persistent issue, with fans left hoping for a clutch moment from Jordan Walker, who is experiencing a promising season but hasn't delivered when it counts lately. On the trade front, the Cardinals should steer clear of any dealings with John Mozeliak’s Angels, as their needs do not align, and that could complicate any momentum. While they grapple with inconsistencies, the franchise's legacy is alive in the memory of Bob Gibson's legendary 250th win, a stark reminder of the greatness that once defined this team. As they look to regain their footing, the need for a big bat like Joshua Báez becomes increasingly urgent.
