Locked On St. Louis Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals fell 2-1 yesterday to the Philadelphia Phillies in a great pitcher's duel. Many disagreed with Mike Shildt's decision to leave Adam Wainwright in the game for the last inning, but Lucas was ok with it. Lucas breaks down Wainwright's performance and gives his take on letting him back out for the 9th. All the credit in the world to Zack Wheeler for shutting down the offense, but when the Cardinals put two on with no outs in the 9th, your 2-3-4 hitters HAVE to do better than they did.Listen to The Ultimate Mock Draft 2021 presented by Audacy and the Locked On Podcast Network.

The St. Louis Cardinals have swept the Cincinnati Reds, showing off how dominant their pitching can be. Even going back to the Washington series, the starting pitching has been locked in. We can enjoy this sweep, but we also cannot get too far ahead of ourselves, it's all a balancing act. With players like Dylan Carlson and Tyler O'Neill heating up, the weak outfield could really become a strong suit. It all comes down to this: how can the Cardinals build off of this momentum?Listen to The Ultimate Mock Draft 2021 presented by Audacy and the Locked On Podcast Network.

There's an off day today, but then the Cardinals play 17 games in as many days. The next two-plus weeks could be very important in the season for St. Louis. With the opponents being the Reds, Phillies, Pirates, Mets and Rockies they have a chance to beat up on some possibly weaker teams. In order to do that, the pitching needs to ride this wave of success and the offense needs to find some success. It's still early in the season, but if the Cardinals sit at or around .500 after this stretch, that's going to be a problem/Listen to The Ultimate Mock Draft 2021 presented by Audacy and the Locked On Podcast Network.

The St. Louis Cardinals have lost another series, dropping the rubber game 1-0 to the Washington Nationals. On the bright side, Carlos Martinez turned in his best start since 2018, going 6 innings and allowing just one run. Andrew Knizner also made the most of his opportunity, making muliple hustle plyas that don't show up in the box score. This offense continues to be an issue, something the Cardinals are going to need to fix quickly if they want to start winning games.Listen to The Ultimate Mock Draft 2021 presented by Audacy and the Locked On Podcast Network.

The St. Louis Cardinals currently sit at 8-8, so not a great start for a team with playoff aspirations. Their wins see offensive explosions while their losses see the offense going quiet. Is this sustainable? Probably not, Lucas looks at the offense over the weekend and points out a few of the bright sports bing Paul DeJong, Justin Williams and Yadier Molina. Pitching still is yet to pitch to the potential, and that needs to change ASAP.Listen to The Ultimate Mock Draft 2021 presented by Audacy and the Locked On Podcast Network.

Ben Frederickson of the St. Louis Post Dispatch joins the show to talk some Cardinal baseball. In part one, he and Lucas talk about the offensive struggles of the outfield, how special a moment it was for Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright yesterday and what the plan is with Matt Carpenter.

You know it's a good day when Matt Carpenter, Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt all hit home runs. They were just part of a 14-run barrage put on by the Cardinals yesterday. This was a day the struggling offense needed, and it came off a top pitcher in Stephen Strasburg. If Carp hits like this then this lineup could be deadly. Lucas also talks about Kodi Whitley's potential to make this good bullpen great.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

With yesterday's theme of "not panicking" still in mind, there were some bad mistakes made yesterday. Leaving Gant in to bunt and letting him pitch the next inning proved to be the incorrect choice. Even so, Gant didn't execute on the mound so the blame can't all go on Mike Shildt. This offense is simply not hitting right now, with Yadier Molina being the hottest hitter at the moment. Winning this series seems like a tall task with Stephen Strasburg on the mound for the Nationals.

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.

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.

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.
