Cool

a rough stretch

Cooling off for real reasons. A 2-5 stretch over the last 7 is hard to spin. And a 5.9 RA/G from the pitching staff weighs on everything.

Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals' season continues to unravel as they squandered a 6-1 lead against the San Francisco Giants, ultimately losing 7-6, a reminder of their troubling bullpen woes. Despite promising performances from rookies like Leo Bernal, who connected for a three-run homer, the team's inconsistency has left them at 72-74, firmly stuck in fourth place. Meanwhile, 22-year-old Bernal has made an impressive start to his big league career, showcasing why he’s the No. 7 prospect in the organization. In contrast, Thomas Saggese is making a case for a permanent role next season, contrasting sharply with Victor Scott's struggles. As the Cardinals look ahead, they face the reality of a disappointing season while hoping their young talent can provide a glimmer of hope.
