Against 2 of the worst offenses in baseball and 4 pitchers who are no better than average, the Cardinals are now 1-3. Oh yeah, all 4 games where at home, no less.
After another night of slow rollers getting through the infield and Kyle Lohse being Kyle Lohse (okay until the going gets rough), are you all still refusing to consider the possibility of a 90 loss season?
Folks - this is a very very bad baseball team. They don't pitch well, they don't hit well, they don't run well, they don't field well. Their 'strengths' are evidently power hitting and...well shit I don't know what a 2nd strength would be but I know they aren't exactly full of legitimate power hitters either.
This team his horrid. And worse - it's boring. The Royals may not be good, but they've never been dull. The Pirates are going to lose more games than the Cardinals this year, but they'll be enthusiastic, energetic and by God they'll try.
This team is going to jog to 1b when they could try to leg out doubles. They're going to throw to the cutoff man when there's a play to be made at the bag. They're going to hope to 'bloop and blast' their way to 6-4 victories every night backed by a starting pitching staff that's averse to striking people out but supported by a defense that's averse to routine plays.
It would take a concerted effort to construct a team more poorly than this abomination whereby we have a 1b in RF, a CF at 2b, a backup 2b at SS and a catcher in the bullpen.
It's not being hysterical - it's being honest. This is an awful baseball team.
