If you’re not going to use the righthanders you have in the pen, go out and get righthanders you WILL use.

Oli Marmol’s decision to keep JoJo Romero in the 8th, even with a slew of right-handed hitters due up for Houston, came down to experience.

Fernandez was down and Helsley’s your guy for the ninth. Left Kyle Leahy (15 ML innings) and Ryan Loutos (1 ML inning) as the options.

Question @katiejwoo … Gray pitched Monday. But even with 5 days rest, he’s not pitching Saturday. Is that a coaching decision or by Sonny’s request? It makes no sense to not go with your best as often as you can with regular rest.
For the first time this year, that's a Cardinals sweep.

Lars Nootbaar made a 5-star catch, resulting in one of the most clutch double plays of the season, Ryan Fernandez notches his first-career save, & the St. Louis Cardinals are playing their best ball yet

Final: STL 5, BAL 4

Guaranteed to lose the third game of a series after winning the first two. #TheCardinalWay
Sit your best hitter and your best power, and don’t start Gray when he is on normal rest. Just to make sure you don’t sweep.
Naw, the Cardinals don’t need a fifth starter. Everything is fine. Be patient. They’re the Cardinals. Smartest organization in sports. And they know more than we do. They’re absolutely determined to do whatever it takes to win. #Sarcasm

Here’s a thought - Hit a home run more often than every other game on an average. Isn’t anyone curious in the organization why there is zero power in that offense????
Oli Marmol on Miles Mikolas in today's #STLCards loss: "Overall, he did a nice job — he really did. Just not enough offense. Had our shots, just didn't cash in. We've got to figure out a way to score some runs."

Blame the manager? The hitting coach? Ownership? The players themselves (who continue to bat in the same fruitless spots in the order, and striking out and without HRs in record fashion)? Frustration at a peak.

@ness_44 I don’t see any quick fixes either. I thought starting pitching would be a bigger problem than offense but starting pitching has been pretty good.
