Locked On St. Louis Cardinals

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.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

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.

The Cardinals have their first sweep of 2021 and finish the first road trip with a 4-2 record. The big stories from yesterday's game are Jack Flaherty, Yadier Molina and Dylan Carlson. Flaherty took a massive step forward in becoming the ace while Carlson showed once again why he should not be batting 8th. Lucas also previews the first home series of the year against the Brewers.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

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.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

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?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

What an Opening Day weekend... From the highs of Thursday to the lows of Sunday, Lucas shares his thoughts. Punishments have been given to the parties involved in the brawl on Saturday and it's all... blown out of proportion. He also talks Carlos Martinez and how we shouldn't be giving up on him, or the rest of the Cardinals after just 3 games.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

After the game, Jeff Carr of Locked On Reds and Lucas jumped on Locker Room to talk about the Cardinal winner. Jeff and Lucas discuss the offensive explosion of St. Louis in the first, the disaster start to Eugenio Suarez's time at short and the rough start for the two aces. All of that said, it is only one game of 162 so neither are too concerned.

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.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

It's the final Division Day of 2021 and it's time to talk about the Pittsburgh Pirates! Ethan Smith (no relation to Lucas) joins the show to talk about all things Pittsburgh. While the Pirates will not be fighting for a division crown, players like Mitch Keller and Kyle Newman could perform well this year. Who are the names the Pirates will be looking for in the draft?

Spring Training is officially OVER for the St. Louis Cardinals. The roster is set and the players are already in Cincinnati. The results, 8-10-6, are a mixed bag. But with every mixed bag, you have a few bright spots that emerge. For the Cardinals, that would mean players like Alex Reyes, John Nogowski, Tyler O'Neill, Adam Wainwright or Tommy Edman. Lucas shares his thoughts on being positive despite the negatives in camp as well.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The 26-man roster is set for the St. Louis Cardinals. John Nogowski made the cut with Austin Dean and Justin Williams for the final outfield spot(s). Not many surprises on the pitching side of things, and despite an ugly outing yesterday Lucas is still super excited for the pitching staff of St. Louis. Lucas also shares his thoughts on what a lineup could look like, plus the role of super-struggling Matt Carpenter.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Harrison Bader has been injured, meaning Dylan Carlson is shifting to center and right field is up for grabs. First of all, STOP being happy that Bader is hurt. Second of all, there are plenty of options for who can produce in the outfield. Carlos Martinez also stepped up yesterday and gave us yet another glimpse of the "what if," of his talent.

Jack Flaherty seemed to take a step in the right direction with his start yesterday. While the final line was not outstanding, his stuff looked a lot sharper and it was a chaotic 5th inning that caused the results to be so-so. Offensively, Dylan Carlson is HEATING up and that is a really good thing. With all the positives, Harrison Bader and Matt Carpenter are also causes for major concern.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

We all know that Paul Goldschmidt is important to the Cardinal offense. What about the other Paul, as in Paul DeJong? The 27-year-old shortstop is an inconsistent bat for St. Louis, and one that could help lengthen this lineup if healthy.

With Opening Day less than two weeks away, Lucas takes stock in how people are progressing. Tommy Edman at the top should work out well, while Harrison Bader needs to get it going. Paul Goldschmidt has been hitting lately and Paul DeJong is hitting as off the last 2 days. Pitching wise, it's more positives (with some first signs of negativity from Wainwright and Reyes). Lucas also gives his off-the-cuff 26-man Opening Day Roster.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

We're getting closer and closer to Opening Day, so it's time to look at who the top performers have been for the St. Louis Cardinals this spring. Offensively, the obvious answer is Tyler O'Neill. Beyond him, it's been guys such as Jose Rondon, Lane Thomas and Yadier Molina (yes, Yadier Molina). There are too many names to mention on the pitching side of things, but you can be sure Adam Wainwright and Alex Reyes are mentioned today.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
