The worst of all the bad at-bats?
Let’s go with Nolan Gorman in Sunday’s seventh inning. High-leverage situation. Two runners on, two outs. Cardinals down 3-0.
And Gorman went down, 0-3. Three swings and misses, the third a high pitch above the zone.
The sellout crowd came to see Albert Pujols hit a homer. The crowd saw just two Cardinals hits, both singles, both for naught.
In the past eight games, the Cardinals have averaged 6.2 hits.
“There’s no concern on approach,” manager Oliver Marmol said after his team’s 3-0 loss Sunday.
But there’s some concern with results, at least from this keyboard on press row.
