The St. Louis Cardinals are now 51-49 after their first series of the second half of the 2025 season. The team is still above .500, but getting swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks is not boding well for the team's vibes.
The Cardinals have fallen to fourth place in the NL Central, 3.5 games behind in the division and Wild Card race standings. Although there are several games left, and anything is still possible, fans are growing increasingly impatient.
Oliver Marmol faces the most ire as manager of the Cardinals. While several factors are behind the poor performance, the buck stops with him for the team's on-field performance, which has not been great.
