This is one of those annoying losses. Sometimes, the difference between the playoffs and not the playoffs is squeaking out victories when you probably shouldn’t have won and avoiding losses where you probably should have won. The Cardinals probably should have won tonight. Have enough of these games and you’re out of the playoffs. It’s especially frustrating against the Mets, a team that will fight for the wild card with the Cards (in all likelihood).
Luke Weaver didn’t have it tonight. Sometimes, when I say something like that, it might be a debatable point.
