They entered their four-game weekend series against the Brewers six games below the .500 mark and six games back of first in the NL Central.

But if the Cardinals keep struggling this badly, it’s a very real possibility that they will be sellers at the trade deadline, just like last year. I thought that last year the Cardinals should have traded Paul Goldschmidt while his value was high to see what they could get for him. It ..read more

For the most part, the answer is eh Last week, writing escaped my mind until the absolute last minute, forcing me to come up with random topics. I said in that post that I actually had an idea what I was going to write, but obviously I didn’t have time by the time I remembered I had to write. The idea is today’s post, which is to give an update on the performances on the minor leaguers. Today, we will be solely focused on the hitters.

The good start was tarnished in the top of the second when a J.D. Martinez swing caught the left forearm of Willson Contreras. Contreras reacted im ..read more
