Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 8-1 loss to the Rangers from Sunday. We've got to talk about Erick Fedde, as the right-hander wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination on Sunday, but there were just several elements of his game that made it a little less palatable to watch. His inability to hold runners was noticeable Sunday, at the least, and the season-long trend of walking batters popped up again.

Still, he had the Cardinals in position to mount another rally after holding serve against ace Jacob deGrom. But when Oli Marmol decided to go for the gusto with offensive substitutions in the 7th, it did not pay off into runs being scored--and it also left the defense somewhat vulnerable.

Brenden gives his take on the offense scoring only 4 runs all series -- long-term concern or just one of those instances of running into a tough pitching staff?
