MLB: St. Louis Cardinals 2016 thread

Cards got flat out embarrassed in that series. Hard to imagine that series going much worse for them. The bullpen was the lone bright spot, but they're not much help if we can't score runs.
I like the article I read that said "The Atlanta Braves are coming on the schedule at just the right time. The Braves probably feel the same way about St. Louis."

The Cards are a lot younger than people realize, and I think that's a factor with the slow offensive start.
The median age of their 25-man roster is younger than both the Cubs and Pirates. It's just that people associate Waino, Yadi, and Holliday with the Cards whereas the Cubs are closely linked with Rizzo and Bryant. If Piscotty and Grichuk start hitting like they did last year, this team will be perfectly fine. Having today off is a blessing.

Sure if that's how you want to look at it. Fortunately for Cubs fans, there should be some opportunities to make up for that letdown in the coming years. This team should be good for at least a little while.
Middle infield needs to get it together. Nice to get 3 wins heading into the home stand and see them keep plugging away in the 9th when they were down a run. Tough outing for Waino but it'll click again. Really liking what Hazelbaker and Piscotty are doing on both ends.
Feel awful for the Braves pitcher who got hurt and hope for the best but it didn't look good at all. Odd that it happened right when the TV crew was talking about his comeback from Tommy John surgery.

Gotta love the hustle and aggression on the basepaths today. I get it that the Brewers are a bit of a comedy show on defense (sorry stormchaser), but it's good to see the Cardinals taking advantage. Would be nice to be on a hot streak when the Cubs come into town next week.
