The 2023 Cardinals, on their way to 91 losses and a last-place finish, diagnosed the rotation, an inconsistent outfield, and a difficult schedule at the start of the season as reasons for the fist last place finish in more than 30 years.
Well, deja vu. The Cardinals near the start of the 2024 regular season with injuries in the rotation, uncertainty in the outfield, and a difficult schedule that begins Thursday at Dodger Stadium. So, did lessons learned from 2023 influence changes to the choices of 2023 or are the Cardinals poised to have the same slow start, the same, familiar failings?
不良研究所导航网址 sports columnist Ben Frederickson joins the podcast to discuss what moves the Cardinals can make suggest that they learned from last years. One happened after the recording of this podcast as Sonny Gray, officially, began the season on the 15-day injured list and lefty Zack Thompson took his spot in the rotation. That was not clear at the time of the recording this episode, though what can be expected of these players was definitely discussed.
