Cardinals' Pitching Crisis Deepens | St. Louis Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals are in freefall, sitting two games under .500 with a brutal 68-70 record after seven losses in their last ten games — a stark contrast to their early-season surge that once made trade deadline talks about keeping players seem unlikely. Injuries have hit hard, sidelining key stars like JJ Wetherholt and Masyn Winn, while the pitching staff has cratered, ranking dead last in ERA (28th) over the past week and still struggling at 24th over the last 30 days. Even their recent acquisition, Caleb Ferguson, was released after underperforming. With just 24 games left, the Cardinals aren’t playoff contenders — but these games matter for evaluating future talent. The bullpen’s been a disaster all year, and despite promising young arms in the minors, the major league staff needs serious rebuilding this offseason.
