The Cardinals are Stale.

It’s sad. The Cardinals are just so average. Think upon this question. Which Cardinal player is a superstar in the league right now? Can you name one for the Cubs, Giants, Dodgers, Nationals and Angels? Sure you can and so can I. But the St. Louis Cardinals have a roster full of above average, average and below average players this year.

Seriously, if you are very good team would you have Jedd Gyorko batting fourth in the lineup? Matt Carpenter is not a player that produces in the three-hole. The Cardinals don’t have a player in the batting order that elicits any fear among the pitchers they face. NONE.

The season is basically 30% done and everyone knows how good/bad the Cardinals are and this doesn’t bode well for success in 2017. It is my hope that the organization is willing to make many moves this summer near the deadline and in the winter. It is needed as you can almost guarantee the Chicago Cubs will be back to their old ways.

The Cardinals lost today and I revert back to one of my concerns for this team is the coaching staff. They have limited major league experience and it shows many, many times throughout the season. Did you see Maloney waving DeJong home? He was out easily and they needed runners on the bases and not outs. Oquendo is missed.

Matheny keeps saying the same thing over and over again about the team is just about there. It’s not. We saw this team last year. Changes are needed in many places and it is time to begin making them. From the top to the bottom this team is stale.
