May 23, 2023 Ep. 387: Cardinals drop the opener in Cincy; were poor ABs from the top of the lineup or Marmol's bullpen management to blame?
Brenden Schaeffer breaks down Monday's Cardinals loss in Cincinnati as STL fell to the Reds 6-5 in extra innings. We dive into what the cause of the loss was, as Twitter wanted to blame Oli Marmol's bullpen management for sticking with Ryan Helsley for a second inning of work. Poor at-bats from the top of the order to go along with an inneficient night from Jordan Montgomery merit further explanation, though. We also give our tribute to the life and career "The Commish" Rick Hummel after his untimely passing over the weekend.
