May is coming to a close and the same issues that hurt the St. Louis Cardinals from the start of the season are still plaguing them. No matter the effectiveness of the starting pitchers or how hot the bats have been, one thing has been a constant: the bullpen.
Unfortunately for St. Louis Cardinals fans, the bullpen has not been a successful constant. Outside of the impressive stretch the Cardinals had winning eight of nine games, where every facet of the team was playing well, the bullpen has been a thorn in the side of this team, and things do not look to be changing.
