We dive into the St. Louis Cardinals' disappointing series loss to the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. We break down the historically rough outings from pitchers Miles Mikolas and Erick Fedde, who struggled mightily against a red-hot Cubs lineup. Mikolas made unwanted history, becoming the first Cardinals pitcher to allow six home runs in a single game, while Fedde's recent starts have raised concerns about his role in the rotation. We analyze what went wrong, discuss the team's ongoing challenges against left-handed pitching, and explore what this series means for the Cardinals' NL Central hopes. Plus, we look ahead to potential roster moves as the trade deadline approaches.🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

We dive into Erick Fedde’s ongoing pitching struggles, including his recent 4.56 ERA and a rough outing where he surrendered seven earned runs, highlighting his issues with misbehaving fastballs and a high walk rate. We also discuss the impact of injuries, with Nolan Arenado battling a swollen right hand and Willson Contreras day-to-day after a pitch hit his hand, both affecting the lineup’s output. Join us as we analyze key moments, explore the team’s offensive woes against left-handed pitching, and debate what the Cardinals need to turn things around.🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
