That’s right. The St. Louis Cardinals recent problems are mainly a result of pitching woes, not offensive issues. The Cardinals starting rotation has struggled to get anyone out of the fifth inning and the bullpen is shedding runs as quickly as a cat sheds his fur inside the living room.
During Tuesday nights fiasco against the Brewers, Austin Gomber represented the problem of the Cardinals starters by only pitching into the fourth inning. After giving up three of his five earned runs, he was removed with two outs in the fourth in favor of Tyson Ross.
