I don’t think I’m going too very far out on a limb to say that, so far, the Cardinals’ offense in 2020 has been very uninspiring. Through sixteen games, El Birdos have scored only 62 runs, or fewer than four per game on average. That is...quite bad. Now, to be fair, there are some extenuating circumstances in this strangest of seasons. Several players have spent time on the shelf due to Covid-related issues, and the complete lack of continuity in the season so far has to have been brutally difficult to deal with. I’m sure pitchers have their own troubles when it comes to dealing with time off, but if I’m picking who has it worse, I’m going with hitters every time.
