Cardinals' Playoff Push vs. Bullpen Woes | St. Louis News

Young stars like Jordan Walker (Home Run Derby champ and All-Star), Iván Herrera, and Riley OBrien are leading the charge, but their late-inning woes are holding them back. With 15 blown saves and bullpen ERAs above 3.00, the Cardinals’ biggest threat is their own bullpen. As the trade deadline looms, adding reliable arms is critical — and their young core’s breakout performance could be the foundation of a deep postseason run if they fix their late-game collapses.
