Locked On St. Louis Cardinals

It's no secret the Cardinals have a weak offense, but the last week that fact has been more apparent than usual. Another night came where the Cardinals had only one extra base hit, and they are still struggling with Runners in Scoring Position. Lucas breaks down Adam Wainwright's start, the rare ineffectiveness of Giovanny Gallegos and how the Royal bullpen shut down the Cardinal offense. He also takes a dive into some numbers of how bad the Cardinal offense has been.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock AutoAmazing selection. Reliably low prices.

The St. Louis Cardinals have won four games in a row and improved their playoff chances. While there are still room for improvements, winning four of five over the Pirates is a huge momentum boost heading into the final week of the season. Lucas gives his take on the series, shares some news and notes on the team and previews the upcoming series against the Kansas City Royals.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock AutoAmazing selection.

With a 5-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates last night, the St. Louis Cardinals are 22-24 and on the outside looking in to the postseason. Steven Brault of the Pirates went the distance, only allowing 2 hits to the Cardinal offense. If the Cardinals want to make the postseason, the offense needs to start hitting more consistently. The two teams play a doubleheader today, and Carlos Martinez has an opportunity to show us that he's matured by playing the "stopper" role for the Cardinals.

Yet another doubleheader ended in a split for the Cardinals, and St. Louis finishes the five game series against Milwaukee with a 2-3 record. Game one saw another exceptional performance from Adam Wainwright, and game two gave us another reason that Johan Oviedo isn't Major-League ready. This offense has to start showing consistency if October baseball is in its future. Luckily for the Cardinals, they have a five game series against the worst team in baseball.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock AutoAmazing selection. Reliably low prices.

The St. Louis Cardinals suffered an 18-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers last night, one of the uglier losses in recent memory. After a first inning run for St. Louis, it was all downhill. Jack Flaherty had one of the worst starts of his career, and the already-depleted bullpen couldn't stop the bleeding. Tempers flared in the 5th after Yadier Molina was called for catcher's interference and words were exchanged, but that was about the only interesting thing that happened last night. Lucas is concerned about the Cardinals' playoff hopes, but the Cardinals have the right man on the mound tonight in Adam Wainwright.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock AutoAmazing selection.

The St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers split their doubleheader yesterday and pitching dominated on both sides. KK Kim was impressive in his return to action and the Cardinals couldn't create many chances against Josh Lindolm. In game two, Daniel Ponce de Leon went six strong innings in what was one of his most dominant starts of his career. The Cardinal offense blew many chances in game two, going 5-20 with RISP. With Jack Flaherty on the mound tonight, St. Louis can set itself up nicely for a series win on Wednesday.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock AutoAmazing selection. Reliably low prices.

The St. Louis Cardinals lost two of three against the Reds this weekend, showing signs of promise and disappointment at the same time. In the only win, the Cardinals flexed their offensive muscles, hitting four homeruns. The bats went remotely silent on Friday and Sunday, and Sunday saw a rare bullpen malfunction. Carlos Martinez showed how dominate his stuff can be, which is promising for a pitching staff that has taken hits in recent days. The final two weeks of the season will be wild, with 10 games coming against the Milwaukee Brewers.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock AutoAmazing selection. Reliably low prices.

The St. Louis Cardinals conclude their seven game homestand with a three game series against the Cincinnati Reds this weekend. This will be the last time the Cardinals and Reds play each other, and it might be the last chance the Reds have to stay alive in the pennant chase. Adam Wainwright gives the Cardinals a great chance to win in game one, and Dakota Hudson's improvements from last season is a good reason to have confidence in game two. Lucas discusses how important this series is for both teams as the MLB season enters the home stretch.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! BombasBombas makes the most comfortable socks in the history of feet.

The St. Louis Cardinals split a doubleheader yesterday against the Detroit Tigers. Game One saw an offensive onslaught by the Redbirds, scoring 12 runs. Game two saw the bullpen being tested one too many times as the Tigers put up a 6 run seventh inning to beat St. Louis. Yadier Molina hit an emotional homer run in the first game, and Lucas talks about his career. Austin Gomber has seen some improvement since his shaky 2018, and Lucas looks into why that might be.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! BombasBombas makes the most comfortable socks in the history of feet.

The St. Louis Cardinals and Minnesota Twins each won a game in yesterday's doubleheader. The Twins hit 5 home runs, living up to their reputation and the Cardinals saw stingy work from their bullpen, living up to theirs. Carlos Martinez showed signs of improvement in his first start since July 28th and Daniel Ponce de Leon gave the Cardinals 3 innings in game 2. Nash Walker of Locked on Twins joins Lucas to break it all down.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! BombasBombas makes the most comfortable socks in the history of feet.

The St. Louis Cardinals fell 5-1 in the final game against the Cubs yesterday as Kyle Hendricks kept them off balance all game long. Defensive blunders and outs on the bases continue to hurt the Cardinals, and rookie Johan Oviedo has been underwhelming since his first start. Lucas is about to give up on Matt Carpenter, and his hopes for the doubleheader against the Twins are also low.

The St. Louis Cardinals have secured a series win against Chicago by winning three of the first four games. Cardinal pitching continues to be the strength of the team, with the offense showing signs of life as the series has progressed. The St. Louis bullpen seems to be getting stronger as the season goes along and as more arms return from the COVID IL, the team seems poised for a postseason run. If the Cardinals can get one, just one, outfielder on track, this team could make some noise come October. The Cardinals finish up the season series against The Professor, looking to be within a game of first with a win.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! BombasBombas makes the most comfortable socks in the history of feet.

The St. Louis Cardinals play the Chicago Cubs in a five game series this weekend, and it could have major implications when it comes to playoff seedings. A series win puts the Redbirds in a good position for a first place finish, while a loss could have them fighting for second place. Each game has an interesting twist to it; game one is a battle of the aces, game two sees Wainwright looking to maintain form, game three has Hudson looking to improve, game four is on Sunday Night Baseball and game five has the Professor teaching the Cardinals.

The trade deadline has come and gone, and the St. Louis Cardinals didn't make any news. A positive of that is that they still have all of their prospects!

Adam Wainwright threw his first complete game since 2016, and he continues to defy baseball odds and pitch well at age 39. He has had many memorable moments as a Cardinal, and Lucas thinks he's one of the greatest Cardinal pitchers of all time. Even with a win yesterday, the Cardinals sit at 12-13, 3.5 games out of first place and they enter a key stretch of division games in the coming weeks. Can they take two out three against the Reds? Lucas breaks that down in this episode of Locked on Cardinals.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! PostmatesFor a limited time, Postmates is giving our listeners ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS of free delivery credit for your first SEVEN days.

The St. Louis Cardinals lost a laugher last night, 14-2 against the Cleveland Indians. The usually solid pitching failed St. Louis and the offense continues to underperform as a team. Do the Cardinals need to make a move before Monday's trading deadline to be competitive in the NL Central and in October? The next 2 games are winnable games for the Cardinals, with Jack Flaherty and Adam Wainwright on the hill for the Redbirds. Lucas discusses a key stretch of games coming up in September that could make or break the season.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock AutoAmazing selection. Reliably low prices.

The sports world has seen many protests and strikes over the last couple of days, and it's important because it brings the conversation topic of racial injustice to our minds. These athletes are using their voice and platforms to stand up for what is right, and that deserves recognition and respect. Dexter Fowler and Jack Flaherty of the St. Louis Cardinals did not play yesterday, but the team played on yesterday and today. Today, they fell twice to the Pirates and their bats were ice cold.

The St. Louis Cardinals lost a close one, 5-4, to the Kansas City Royals last night. The 8th and 9th innings were full of moments to break down, including a play at the plate and a 1-out triple that didn't score. Kansas City's bullpen was able to hold the Cardinals at bay, while the offense scrapped just enough for the win. Lucas is still concerned about offensive consistency and he thinks this was a big game to lose, considering the Cubs also lost. The Redbirds go for a series win tomorrow, and Lucas thinks Hudson has what it takes for a Redbird win.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock AutoAmazing selection. Reliably low prices.
