MISSED OPPORTUNITIES: Cardinals STRUGGLE With Runners On -- Riley O'Brien's ISSUES Continue

St. Louis Cardinals’ offensive woes mount as missed opportunities and execution errors lead to a frustrating series loss against the Texas Rangers. JD Hafron breaks down the Cards’ struggles with runners in scoring position, Riley O’Brien’s bullpen collapse, and Oli Marmol’s commitment to letting Gorman work through his challenges. The spotlight shifts to AAA Memphis, where Joshua Baez’s power surge has fans clamoring for a promotion—should the Cardinals call him up or wait for Lars Nootbaar and Nathan Church to return? Key topics include Victor Scott’s questionable bunting decisions, Dustin May’s near-flawless outings spoiled by late-inning miscues, and how the shifting NL Central race puts St. Louis under even more pressure.
