Locked On St. Louis Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals have a bigtime series coming up with the Milwaukee Brewers. St. Louis' aces, Adam Wainwright and Jack Flaherty are starting games one + two and that is best case scenario for them. This series will help us determine if the Cardinals are truly a playoff team. Can Waino and J-Flare step up? Can Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado stay hot? These questions and more are answered on today's show as Lucas breaks down this all-to-important series.WANT MORE DAILY ST.

The St. Louis Cardinals have won 6 games in a row, are 8-2 in their last 10 and are just 4.5 games out of a playoff spot. How realistic is a playoff push? Taking an optimistic view, they have Jack Flaherty back, Paul Goldschmidt + Nolan Arenado are heating up and the August schedule isn't too bad. A pessimistic (or realistic) view would have you look at a bad record against above .500 teams, this winning streak is against bad teams and the September schedule is daunting. It's going to take a lot, but the Cardinals do have momentum on their side.Stay Locked On to the show by hitting this link: https://linktr.ee/LO_CardinalsFollow Lucas on Twitter: twitter.com/ljfastballEmail the show anytime at lockedoncards@gmail.comSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The St. Louis Cardinals travel to Kauffman Stadium this weekend for a three-game series with the Royals. Game one features the return of Jack Flaherty. Can Flaherty go out there and pitch like the ace he is? There's a good bet he can. Jon Lester and J.A. Happ will look to build off of previous performances and the offense looks to build momentum. The Redbirds faced these three starters last week, so all about keep doing what's working and changing what didn't.Stay Locked On to the show by hitting this link: https://linktr.ee/LO_CardinalsFollow Lucas on Twitter: twitter.com/ljfastballEmail the show anytime at lockedoncards@gmail.comSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

What more things can you say about Adam Wainwright? He threw a 2-hit, 88-pitch complete game shutout over the Pittsburgh Pirates. He has been better than anyone expected this season and it's something we should appreciate more. Ethan Smith of Locked On Pirates joins the show in segments two and three to break down the whole series. What is there to look forward to as a PIrate fan? Will Ke'Bryan Hayes and Dylan Carlson develop into the superstars we think they can be?

J.A. Happ, Ryan Helsley, Genesis Cabrera and Alex Reyes combined to one-hit the Pittsburgh Pirates last night. Yeah, it's just the Pirates but a dominating win is still one to celebrate. Happ has impressed in his two starts as a Cardinal, and we saw the upside of this bullpen last night. Offensively, Tommy Edman got things going and they did just enough for a win. Still things to be desired on this team, but a win is a win. They go for a series win today with Adam Wainwright on the mound.Stay Locked On to the show by hitting this link: https://linktr.ee/LO_CardinalsFollow Lucas on Twitter: twitter.com/ljfastballEmail the show anytime at lockedoncards@gmail.comSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The St. Louis Cardinals travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Pirates this week. Today sees a veteran lefty in J.A. Happ take on young lefty Steven Brault. Wednesday it's Adam Wainwright against Wil Crowe, who is susceptible to giving up the long ball. Thursday is hopefully the return of Jack Flaherty to the Cardinals, what does this mean for the team?

The St. Louis Cardinals took two of three against the Kansas City Royals over the weekend. While that is a positive series win, St. Louis let game three get away, unable to complete the sweep. Games one and two were very solid for the Cardinals, with Adam Wainwright throwing a gem, the bullpen being lockdown and the offense producing. Yes, the Royals are a bad team, but it was nice to see St. Louis playing good baseball. Lucas breaks it all down and answers your questions on today's show.Stay Locked On to the show by hitting this link: https://linktr.ee/LO_CardinalsFollow Lucas on Twitter: twitter.com/ljfastballEmail the show anytime at lockedoncards@gmail.comSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The Cardinal bullpen once again could not hold a lead, giving up six runs in the 8th inning and walking four straight with the bases loaded. The amount of walks this team permits is not acceptable and a big reason their record is where their record is at. Lucas breaks down the struggles of Giovanny Gallegos + Alex Reyes, the overuse of them + the bullpen and the rest of last night's game. Also, a breakdown of a Ben Frederickson article and a preview of the upcoming Royals series.

J.A. Happ threw five solid innings, but a lack of offense and outfield defense proved to be enough to sink the Cardinals. This start from Happ is exactly what the Cardinals can expect from an acquisition of this kind. The offense was flat, and this series loss might prove costly in the playoff hunt. Also on this show; the 2022 schedule, Jack flaherty and Yadier Molina.Stay Locked On to the show by hitting this link: https://linktr.ee/LO_CardinalsFollow Lucas on Twitter: twitter.com/ljfastballEmail the show anytime at lockedoncards@gmail.comSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

It was a disappointing debut for Jon Lester in a Cardinal uniform, despite "settling down" after a rocky first. We're way too late in the season for accepting these kinds of starts, and for the time being the acquisition of Lester doesn't look very good. The offense was sluggish and only mustered up one run in the 9th against a solid Max Fried for the Atlanta Braves. Lucas breaks down the ugly loss, as well as shares some good news about Jack Flaherty and Miles Mikolas.Stay Locked On to the show by hitting this link: https://linktr.ee/LO_CardinalsFollow Lucas on Twitter: twitter.com/ljfastballEmail the show anytime at lockedoncards@gmail.comSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Jon Lester and J.A. Happ are making their Cardinal debuts this week against the Atlanta Braves. Lester gets the ball tonight and Happ will start tomorrow. Which veteran should we have more confidence in to turn in a good start? St. Louis needs to keep winning series, so Lucas breaks down the pitching matchups in this one and how the Cardinals can win two out of three. Also, how are you guys feeling about the trades after a weekend to digest them?

The St. Louis Cardinals took two of three over the Minnesota Twins over the weekend in convincing fashion. Yes, the Twins are in last place in the AL Central and 15.5 games out of a playoff spot, but a win's a win. Adam Wainwright impressed (again) and it's time to recognize him as the Cardinals' best starting pitcher. Yadier Molina made history as well, now owning the 4th-most hits in Cardinal history. Lucas breaks down what happened in the series and tries to take a positive look on the two trades that were made on Friday.Stay Locked On to the show by hitting this link: https://linktr.ee/LO_CardinalsFollow Lucas on Twitter: twitter.com/ljfastballEmail the show anytime at lockedoncards@gmail.comSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The St. Louis Cardinals have acquired JA Happ from the Minnesota Twins and Jon Lester from the Washington Nationals. John Gant and Evan Sisk (prospect) go to the Twins while Lane Thomas is heading to the Nation's capital. Lucas is joined by Corey Miller of KSDK to give the instant reaction to the two acquisitions. The two veterans do little to help the pitching shortage, both coming in with ERA's over 5. Is there any upside to these two deals?Stay Locked On to the show by hitting this link: https://linktr.ee/LO_CardinalsFollow Lucas on Twitter: twitter.com/ljfastballEmail the show anytime at lockedoncards@gmail.comSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The St. Louis Cardinals welcome the Minnesota Twins to Busch this weekend for a three game series. Neither team expected to be in the position they're in, but both are on the outside looking in at at the playoffs. Two of the three Twins starters could be dealt by the deadline and the Cardinals could be in on one of them. Lucas breaks down the potential pitching matchups, gets you up to date on the trading deadline and talks one specific name the Cardinals might be interested in.Stay Locked On to the show by hitting this link: https://linktr.ee/LO_CardinalsFollow Lucas on Twitter: twitter.com/ljfastballEmail the show anytime at lockedoncards@gmail.comSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

It seems as though everyone is being active at the trading deadline except for the St. Louis Cardinals. From buyers like the Seattle Mariners to playoff members San Diego Padres, everyone is trying to improve their team. Sadly, St. Louis is yet to make a big acquisition, so Lucas takes a look at who's still on the board for the Cardinals to go after. He also updates how the trading deadline has gone, as well as shares who you say the Cards should trade for.Stay Locked On to the show by hitting this link: https://linktr.ee/LO_CardinalsFollow Lucas on Twitter: twitter.com/ljfastballEmail the show anytime at lockedoncards@gmail.comSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The St. Louis Cardinals have split their two game series with the Cleveland Indians, winning Tuesday 4-2 and losing Wednesday 7-2. St. Louis is now off until after the trade deadline, sitting at 51-51 with little to no reason for the front office to be too aggressive. Lucas breaks down the last two games and shares two key points as to why the Cardinals are so far back in the standings on today's show.Stay Locked On to the show by hitting this link: https://linktr.ee/LO_CardinalsFollow Lucas on Twitter: twitter.com/ljfastballEmail the show anytime at lockedoncards@gmail.comSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

After the first of two off days this week, the St. Louis Cardinals travel to take on the Cleveland Indians (Guardians?). We're going to see a lot of breaking balls this series, which is going to play a key factor.

The St. Louis Cardinals lost two of the three games this weekend in Cincinnatti, salvaging the last game in an offensive outburst of 10 runs. The Cardinals were hoping to make a statement this weekend, but instead find themselves at .500 and seven games out of the closest playoff spot. It's trade deadline week, so the big question being asked about everybody is who's a buyer and who's a seller? Today's show looks at why the Cardinals are probably going to stand pat. Lucas also looks at the weekend that was in Cincy and talks more about the outfield of Tyler O'Neill, Harrison Bader and Dylan Carlson.Stay Locked On to the show by hitting this link: https://linktr.ee/LO_CardinalsFollow Lucas on Twitter: twitter.com/ljfastballEmail the show anytime at lockedoncards@gmail.comSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2 Thursday, securing a win in a four game series. After all hope was lost on Tuesday, the Redbirds are gaining momentum once again. Today's show is breaking down the game four win, giving overall thoughts from the Cubs series and previewing the upcoming Reds series. Jeff Carr of Locked On Reds joins the show as both the Reds and Cardinals are in a similar position.

After a heartbreaking loss on Tuesday, the St. Louis Cardinals came back on Wednesday to walk-off the Chicago Cubs. Cardinal Nation has had two back-and-forth games, one of them taking all hope away and another providing life. If St. Louis can respond after a loss, it needs to respond after a win and take the series today. Last night wasn't always pretty but the job got done. Lucas talks about how Adam Wainwright has been a savior, how this outfield could be one of the most dynamic in the game and breaks down the craziness of last night.Stay Locked On to the show by hitting this link: https://linktr.ee/LO_CardinalsFollow Lucas on Twitter: twitter.com/ljfastballEmail the show anytime at lockedoncards@gmail.comSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
