The St. Louis Cardinals fifteen years have accustomed us to always be at the top and for how the MLB is structured is a really difficult thing if you do not do crazy shopping in pinestripe style. And after a couple of seasons quite disappointing (in any case above the 500 mark) the cardinals and still have a lot of pressure, the pressure that comes from their condition, the fact that the cubes are clearly lowered and also the fact that the level of the division it is among the highest in the MLB except for the derelicts Reds. The same reds who suffered due consecutive trajectory from the cardinals bringing their fight against the defeats against San Luigi eleven consecutive game, which happened only once in 1949. The start of the team of Missouri had been a little hesitant my timing is over that the planning has been played much better underestimated on paper such as the Mets in New York and D-Backs at home, such as Wainwright, Pham, Gregerson, Holland and Gyorko. In spite of everything, the Cardinals managed to react well and usually come to find some excellent young replacements able to perform discreetly at Majors level like Harrison Bader and Jack Flaherty. The cards are literally divided into two words: who really beats and really well who can hardly see the ball. In the first category there is the general on the field Yadier Molina who besides is the best catcher defensively speaking of all time is also able to beat .313 with 6 HR and 16 RBI, the surprise Josè Martinez, Tommy Pham and Paul DeJong for a question of homerun. In the second category we end up many of the players entered in the last two years see Fowler, Ozuna but also Kolten Wong and Matt Carpenter were definitely inconsistent to the pot. Obviously it is the first games and counting that many of them have been played in cold climates that we know is not that the batsmen have to wait to draw the first conclusions so as not to fall into mere errors of assessment.
The pitching stuff led by Carlos Martinez (an ER in the last 27 innings played) is my top 5 warning in the MLB with excellent prospects for the future given the low average age of its key members. The rotation composed by Martinez, Wainwright, Weaver, Mikolas and Wacha does not seem to suffer at all from the departure of Lynn, indeed compared to last year has acquired consistency and awareness in their own means. The bullpen is full of young talents and on all stands Hicks a right relief that in minors has made the starter that contains an arsenal to say the least electric fastball even at 102 mph seasoned by a slider around the mid-80s with which it is was able to not suffer any more points this season in over 11 innings. When St. Louis is able to find the Netherlands and Gregerson on their usual levels recovering them totally from their injuries will certainly have a competitive bullpen in the key post-season.
the first trends say that the cardinals are very entrusted to the homeruns to score points but it is also an average hit of a shark that puts them in the middle of this ranking at the MLB level, but the pitchers rely more on groundball than on the to preserve the arm of their starters in view of the final ride and this is in contradiction with the MLB trends that see more and more launchers in the upper part of the strike zone to look for the strikeout.
With a record of 13-8 and the first post in the NL Central the Cardinals can safely stay above 60000 and keep this place in spite of the team being Brewers and Cubs rather than the Pirates remain very insidious and do not make life easy giving them life at a sprint that you will occupy until the end of September.
