Offense Breaks Out For Big Win Apr 14, 2021

Show notes

You know it's a good day when Matt Carpenter, Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt all hit home runs. They were just part of a 14-run barrage put on by the Cardinals yesterday. This was a day the struggling offense needed, and it came off a top pitcher in Stephen Strasburg. If Carp hits like this then this lineup could be deadly. Lucas also talks about Kodi Whitley's potential to make this good bullpen great.

Managerial Mistake + No Execution = Loss Apr 13, 2021

Show notes

With yesterday's theme of "not panicking" still in mind, there were some bad mistakes made yesterday. Leaving Gant in to bunt and letting him pitch the next inning proved to be the incorrect choice. Even so, Gant didn't execute on the mound so the blame can't all go on Mike Shildt. This offense is simply not hitting right now, with Yadier Molina being the hottest hitter at the moment. Winning this series seems like a tall task with Stephen Strasburg on the mound for the Nationals. Can the Cardinals get it done?

Should We Be Panicking? Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

The Cardinals lost another weekend series, losing the final 2 games to the Brewers. After nine games, the Cardinals sit at just 5-4 but remain only one game out of first in the NL Central. Are there problems that need to be fixed? Yes. However, there are still 153 games remaining in the season. There is such a thing as being concerned with with the holes in this team - Paul DeJong's struggles and the outfield to name two - while also realizing we are early and this can take time to fix.

Nolan & Cards Take Care of Business (Locker Room Discussion) Apr 09, 2021

Show notes

That Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-1 in the home opener at Busch Stadium. Nolan Arenado's 8th inning 2-run homerun stole the show, making an incredible first impression to the Cardinal faithful. Adam Wainwright was able to gut through 5 after a shaky first, Tyler O'Neill got an infield hit that could get him going and Kolten Wong got tears in his eyes during his first at-bat. Today's show is an excerpt from the Locker Room Discussion that was held last night.

Cardinals Have a SWEEP of Miami Apr 08, 2021

Cards Earn Series Win in Miami Apr 07, 2021

Show notes

The St. Louis Cardinals have their first series win of 2021 with a 4-1 win over the Miami Marlins in game 2. It wasn't the prettiest, but a win is a win. Offensively, the Cardinals weren't able to muster anything against Sandy Alcantara until the 6th when nifty baserunning by Paul Goldschmidt and situational hitting by Yadier Molina gave the Cards the lead. Also, despite moans and groans from many, Matt Carpenter looked as good has he has in a LONG time. On the mound, John Gant gutted through 4 innings and the St. Louis bullpen was electric to slam the door.

Ponce and Cards Bounce Back Apr 06, 2021

Show notes

Daniel Ponce de Leon delivered the start of the year so far in a 4-1 win over the Marlins, going 5 innings and only giving up the one run. While it wasn't necessarily a long start, it was just what the Cardinals needed after an underwhelming weekend on the mound. The bullpen came in and slammed the door with 4 scoreless innings - one from Hicks, two from Gallegos and one from Reyes. Despite the 14 strikeouts, the Cardinal offense did enough to win. However, what are the major concerns following the first 4 games in the offense?

Cardinals WIN On Opening Day Apr 02, 2021

Show notes

The Cardinals are on pace for a 162-0 season after an 11-6 win over the Cincinnati Reds. There are a TON of positives after this win, mainly the offense and the bullpen. St. Louis exploded for 6 runs in the first innings, highlighted by a 3-run home run by Dylan Carlson. The other highlight came in the 4th inning via a 2-run shot by Tyler O'Neill. The bullpen, more specifically Tyler Webb, Ryan Helsley, Genesis Cabrera, Giovanny Gallegos and Alex Reyes pitched scoreless baseball to close it out. Baseball is a marathon, but the Cardinals got off on the right foot with a dominating win today.
