Cardinals Fall to Pirates, Postseason Seems Less Likely Sep 18, 2020

Show notes

With a 5-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates last night, the St. Louis Cardinals are 22-24 and on the outside looking in to the postseason. Steven Brault of the Pirates went the distance, only allowing 2 hits to the Cardinal offense. If the Cardinals want to make the postseason, the offense needs to start hitting more consistently. The two teams play a doubleheader today, and Carlos Martinez has an opportunity to show us that he's matured by playing the "stopper" role for the Cardinals. Lucas gives a hot take on the Cardinals' postseason chances.

Another (Yes, ANOTHER) Doubleheader Split Sep 17, 2020

Show notes

Yet another doubleheader ended in a split for the Cardinals, and St. Louis finishes the five game series against Milwaukee with a 2-3 record. Game one saw another exceptional performance from Adam Wainwright, and game two gave us another reason that Johan Oviedo isn't Major-League ready. This offense has to start showing consistency if October baseball is in its future. Luckily for the Cardinals, they have a five game series against the worst team in baseball.

Cards Suffer Embarrassing Loss To Brewers Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

The St. Louis Cardinals suffered an 18-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers last night, one of the uglier losses in recent memory. After a first inning run for St. Louis, it was all downhill. Jack Flaherty had one of the worst starts of his career, and the already-depleted bullpen couldn't stop the bleeding. Tempers flared in the 5th after Yadier Molina was called for catcher's interference and words were exchanged, but that was about the only interesting thing that happened last night. Lucas is concerned about the Cardinals' playoff hopes, but the Cardinals have the right man on the mound tonight in Adam Wainwright.

Another Doubleheader Split for Cards Sep 15, 2020

Show notes

The St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers split their doubleheader yesterday and pitching dominated on both sides. KK Kim was impressive in his return to action and the Cardinals couldn't create many chances against Josh Lindolm. In game two, Daniel Ponce de Leon went six strong innings in what was one of his most dominant starts of his career. The Cardinal offense blew many chances in game two, going 5-20 with RISP. With Jack Flaherty on the mound tonight, St. Louis can set itself up nicely for a series win on Wednesday.

Disappointing Series Against Reds, Brew Crew Up Next Sep 14, 2020

Show notes

The St. Louis Cardinals lost two of three against the Reds this weekend, showing signs of promise and disappointment at the same time. In the only win, the Cardinals flexed their offensive muscles, hitting four homeruns. The bats went remotely silent on Friday and Sunday, and Sunday saw a rare bullpen malfunction. Carlos Martinez showed how dominate his stuff can be, which is promising for a pitching staff that has taken hits in recent days. The final two weeks of the season will be wild, with 10 games coming against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Key Series This Weekend Against The Reds Sep 11, 2020

Show notes

The St. Louis Cardinals conclude their seven game homestand with a three game series against the Cincinnati Reds this weekend. This will be the last time the Cardinals and Reds play each other, and it might be the last chance the Reds have to stay alive in the pennant chase. Adam Wainwright gives the Cardinals a great chance to win in game one, and Dakota Hudson's improvements from last season is a good reason to have confidence in game two. Lucas discusses how important this series is for both teams as the MLB season enters the home stretch.

Cardinals Split Another Doubleheader Sep 11, 2020

Show notes

The St. Louis Cardinals split a doubleheader yesterday against the Detroit Tigers. Game One saw an offensive onslaught by the Redbirds, scoring 12 runs. Game two saw the bullpen being tested one too many times as the Tigers put up a 6 run seventh inning to beat St. Louis. Yadier Molina hit an emotional homer run in the first game, and Lucas talks about his career. Austin Gomber has seen some improvement since his shaky 2018, and Lucas looks into why that might be.

Cardinals Split Doubleheader With Twins Sep 09, 2020

Show notes

The St. Louis Cardinals and Minnesota Twins each won a game in yesterday's doubleheader. The Twins hit 5 home runs, living up to their reputation and the Cardinals saw stingy work from their bullpen, living up to theirs. Carlos Martinez showed signs of improvement in his first start since July 28th and Daniel Ponce de Leon gave the Cardinals 3 innings in game 2. Nash Walker of Locked on Twins joins Lucas to break it all down.

Cardinals Fall in Finale to Cubs, Twins Up Next Sep 08, 2020

Show notes

The St. Louis Cardinals fell 5-1 in the final game against the Cubs yesterday as Kyle Hendricks kept them off balance all game long. Defensive blunders and outs on the bases continue to hurt the Cardinals, and rookie Johan Oviedo has been underwhelming since his first start. Lucas is about to give up on Matt Carpenter, and his hopes for the doubleheader against the Twins are also low. Listen to hear why he thinks a split might be best case scenarios for the Redbirds.

Successful Series (So Far) In Chicago Sep 07, 2020

Show notes

The St. Louis Cardinals have secured a series win against Chicago by winning three of the first four games. Cardinal pitching continues to be the strength of the team, with the offense showing signs of life as the series has progressed. The St. Louis bullpen seems to be getting stronger as the season goes along and as more arms return from the COVID IL, the team seems poised for a postseason run. If the Cardinals can get one, just one, outfielder on track, this team could make some noise come October. The Cardinals finish up the season series against The Professor, looking to be within a game of first with a win.
