I certainly did not have the day off, but that’s okay. I got to spend it uh working a little bit in the morning. Uh then watching the Cardinals get blasted in the afternoon. And to make myself feel better, I just went to the golf course and blew off some steam by uh not playing very well, but uh still going to the golf course and just kind of clearing my mind before hosting MLB Game Night last night. Uh busy day. Yeah, sadly not a great one for our St. Louis Cardinals. It didn’t pose much of a threat on the offensive or pitching side of things in their lopsided loss against the A’s. Now, if you missed my crossover with Boon from locked on A’s on Monday morning, then you missed the part where I said that I I totally expected them to have a tough day with the bats. The kid the A’s threw on Monday has been outstanding since getting called up, Luis Morales from Cuba. The A’s paid like $3 million to sign him a few years ago. Now that investment is paying off, so good for them. Where were you on that one, Cardinals? Uh, but hosting MLB Game Night allows me the opportunity to watch a lot of these other teams that most people don’t either have the time for or the motivation to stay up late and watch them. And one of those teams is the A’s. So, I’m very much familiar with what the A’s bring to the table. They’re usually one of the last games of the night when they play at home. So, I had seen Morales pitch already. I had seen him pitch a couple times and was very much impressed with what I saw in the previous game against the Detroit Tigers. So, I knew the Cardinals were going to they’re going to have a tough time scoring a run. So, that did not surprise me. What I did not bank on was Sunny Gray getting clobbered at home. Nonetheless, I had the Cardinals winning this game in our prediction segment. said it would be a tight one, but I I felt like the Cardinals would eventually get to the A’s bullpen and that’s how they would come away with a win because more time than than not and especially at home, the Cardinals win when Sunny Gray pitches. He was eight and four at home while just four and three on the road and early on it seemed like we were in for a pitcher duel as I had predicted. Sunny had to wiggle out of some issues in that first inning, but got through the first three innings unscathed and seemed to be settling in nicely. It was a beautiful day at the ballpark. Can’t complain about sweating too much. Meanwhile, Morales was doing the stuff that I expected Morales to do. He was pitching quite well against this Cardinals offense who has all of the sudden uh been striking out at an alarming rate over the last three games. We’ll get into those stats later, but in the fourth inning, things took a turn for the worst with Sunny Gray. And to make things worse, it was all with two outs with a runner on second. JJ Blade, the former Marlins highly touted prospect, was first pitch swing, was clearly looking breaking ball, got one and didn’t miss it. He hammers it to right field for a two-run home run. Then two pitches later, it was Zach Gellof who just got called back up to the major leagues who took a fourseam fast ball over the wall in right field to make it three to nothing. Little oppo taco action. These home runs were the 21st and 22nd given up on the season by Sunny which set a new career high for him. I sarcastically said congratulations to him in my um postgame recap yesterday. I don’t know. I just I was frustrated yesterday and you know he’s at that level and we still got the whole month of September. So we still probably got three four starts left. So that number is going to go up. Cardinals cut the lead to three to one on a blast by Ivon Herrera which was a massive bomb to left field. So nice to see Herrera teen off. But in the sixth inning Sunny surrenders a leadoff double then a single makes it four to one. Although they did erase that runner at second base. Uh that’s when JJ Blade stepped up again and again his first pitch swinging this time instead of looking breaking ball he’s like all right he’s probably not gonna throw me that again so I would assume we’re going to get a fast ball and that’s exactly what he got hammers it for a 428 foot shot to right field he makes it five to one home run number two on the day 12th on the season for Beday but the 23rd given up by Sunny on the season and Boon even texts me he goes JJ Blade hitting home runs against you. And I’m like, bro, Sunny Gray has had an issue all season with the home runs. It’s just it’s been his thing. Then in the sixth inning, it wasn’t the home runs that got to him, but with the score five to two, which not completely out of distance, right? It’s three runs, Morales is out of the game at this point. They were able to finally get him to uh to get the, you know, Phil Nevin to go to the bullpen. And the Cardinals needed a shutdown inning from Sunny to kind of hold things so they could get their offense back up and face that A’s bullpen. And the exact opposite happened. They pounded Sunny into submission. Lead off a walk to start the inning. Big no followed by a single then a double to make it 6-2. Ali pulls the plug on Sunny and brings in Ryan Fernandez who promptly gives up a hit to Sodestrom to close the book on Sunny. Six innings, seven runs, 10 hits, three home runs, three walks, five Ks. P you stinky bad. Not what you need from your number one guy to start this week at home against a team that granted has been winning and playing much better, but overall has a losing record and was without two of their best hitters in Nick Curts and Shay Langelair’s. And still still you get throttled. Not very competitive by Sunny Gray uh after the third inning in this one. And um you know, and if it feels like Sunny Gray has been giving up more home runs recently than usual, you would be correct with that assumption. Those feelings are are are the force is strong within you if that’s what you were feeling. And I’ve got the stats to back it up about all of that coming up next. Plus what Sunny had to say after the game about his struggles against the A’s. That coming up next here on Locks on Cardinals.

Finway, Kors, Great American in Cincinnati, Citizens Bank in Philly. You’d understand why a pitcher’s home run totals against might be elevated just a bit. The ball flies out of those ballparks. They were built for offense. That was the idea. Bush Stadium was not built for the hitters. In fact, it’s a reason why I think some hitters might stay away if the Cardinals are offering them any free agent contracts because they don’t want to hit in that ballpark. It sucks for hitters for the most part. It’s a pitcher ballpark. But you wouldn’t know that after watching Sunny serve up seven runs and three more ters on Monday. Looks like opposition’s been able to hit the ball pretty well at Bush Stadium. And on the season, granted, he has pitched more at home than on the road. I think he’s got more, what is it, eight more starts at home than he does on the road, something like that. But Sunny has now given up 13 home runs at home and just 10 on the road. So, I’m going to throw the ballpark stuff out the window because it really doesn’t look like it matters where Sunny Gray pitches. Guys are hitting the ball hard and far against him no matter where he’s at. And things have been extra rough since the All-Star break. Now, I got this stat courtesy of John Denton at MLB.com. After allowing 10 homers over his first 108 innings of the season, Gray has surrendered 13 long balls in just 50 and a third innings since the All-Star game. That is the second straight season the Gray has allowed 13 home runs in the second half. And again, the second half is not over yet. Still got this whole month to get through. And when I spoke with Boon on Monday, he asked me about Gray, who was drafted in the first round by the A’s back in 2011. He was like, “Tell me about Sunny Gray. What’s going on with him?” And I told him the the one complaint that I have about Sunny is the long ball. The long ball has been his biggest issue. If he’s able to keep the ball in the ballpark, normally he wins because the strikeouts, they’re still there. There’s not a big dip in bo or anything alarming that would come with him being 35 years old. He’s in good shape. Um it’s the long ball. The home runs, they just continue to fly against him and it stands out in a big way. And you know how people will say, “Oh, but you know, solo home runs, you can live with those.” Well, not when you’re giving up two or three of them a game. maybe one. You could do that. And it’s not like it’s one pitch that’s been getting hammered. You know, I I brought up when Hley was here how they would kill his fast ball, but nobody could hit his slider. So, everybody would just sit fast ball when he finally throw it, they would murder it. Uh that’s not the case with Sunny Gray. This stat courtesy of John Denton as well. Gray has allowed five home runs on his forcing fast ball, five on his sweeper, seven on his sinker, three on curve balls, two on change ups, and one on a cutter. And he said those uh results courtesy of baseball savant. Um yeah, that’s everything. It doesn’t matter what he’s throwing up there, it’s getting knocked out of the park. And more times than not, I’m willing to bet when you see stuff like that that it’s all about location, location, location. When you talk to pitchers around the league and you talk to minor league pitchers, what’s the one thing they say is the most important thing? You ask them about it. I’ve asked them. I’m like I’m like, “What do you think, VO? Is it movement?” And they all say the same thing. Really? It’s about location. It really is because if you throw it over the plate, it doesn’t matter how hard you throw, these guys are going to pound you. It’s just going to happen. And Sunny alluded to that in his postgame comments saying, “Stay out of the middle of the plate.” That’s what he had to improve on. And I definitely didn’t do that. And I definitely stayed across the middle early in counts and they didn’t miss. So stay out of the middle of the plate and mix your sequences. I mixed my hands just fine, but maybe too many strikes in the middle of the plate early. It seems to be an epidemic for Cardinals pitchers. They they can’t stop throwing pitches over the heart of the plate and hence why they have eras that are all over five or at least all of them are over four of a of the starting rotation. Uh, Sunny continued saying, “This is one of those starts that hurts more than normal because I felt really good and my stuff was coming out good, but I felt good. This is one of those that leaves you not baffled because you know what happened, but frustrated because you did feel like he had decent stuff and couldn’t do anything with it.” And outside of that first inning where he was having some issues with the walks, he was looking great going into that fourth inning. There wasn’t any problems at all. He had two outs before he gave up that home run to Beday. and then there was another one and then you go to the sixth inning and then it’s a leadoff walk and that sets you up for failure and that’s what happened. You know, these guys are MLB hitters for a reason. They’re at the the top level in all of baseball in the world. They’re going to run into home runs from time to time, even against the best in the business. You know, two of the best in the league right now. Terco Scoo and Garrett Crochet have given up 15 and 16 home runs, respectively. I’m not expecting Sunny Gray to not give up home runs, but they’re coming in bunches now. And again, this is a careerhigh for him. And when the Cardinals first signed Sunny, his ability to not give up home runs was one of the things I was excited about after dealing with Miles Michaels over the years and some of the other uh shabby pitching that the Cardinals had been putting out there where it just seemed like teams were teeing off on him. It was like, “Oh, okay. Now, we got a guy who’s going to be your number one, who’s going to be your ace. I know people don’t like that word. I don’t know why everybody gets worked up about it. It just means he’s the number one guy on your staff. That’s all it means. Nobody’s saying he’s an ace in Major League Baseball. Just on the team, he is the number one pitcher in their rotation. That’s what ace stands for. It’s not That’s it. So, everybody who gets worked up in the comments section about it, relax. Relax. I don’t know why that word triggers you guys so much, but anyway. Um, but when they signed him, the big thing was that like with the Twins, he didn’t give up a lot of home runs. And I was excited about that. Uh, and that has not been the case over his first two seasons with the team. And barring a miracle, I wouldn’t expect it to get any better going into next season. And on top of that, he’s going to cost a truckload at $35 million next year. So, good luck trying to trade that away if you even wanted to. Plus, it’s really not up to you because if Sunny Gray wants to stay, he’s going to stay because he’s got a no trade clause as well. So, um, not the greatest spot to be in if you are the Cardinals at this point. So, uh, another bangup job by John Mos. Dude, has anything worked out for that dude over the last like five years? Like, it just doesn’t feel like it has, has it? Um, in the nine starts since the All-Star break, Gray has an ERA of 6.44. He has allowed 36 earned runs in 50 and a third innings and his overall RA is now up to 4.43. You combine that with what you had from Eric Fetty this year while he was with the team 5.22 RA. Andre Palante 5.38 RA Michael 5.04. You have the makings of one of the worst staffs in Major League Baseball. It’s certainly one of the worst ones I’ve seen in a Cardinal uniform that I can remember. like and I don’t remember some of the struggles in the 90s or even in the 80s and the bad years that weren’t the good years for uh YD and company, but um this is bad. And with Sunny being just as bad as these guys lately, uh it it just obviously it’s crystal clear where this team needs help at, right? The RA for the starters is now at 4.78. Only five teams in the league have a worse erra for the starting rotation than the Cardinals. It’s crystal clear where they need some help. So, we’ll talk um a little bit of offense. We’re also going to preview tonight’s game coming up next. We’ll do some injury updates as well. Some uh we got some news about some of the guys like Donnie and Aronado. So, we’ll get into all of that coming up next here on Locked on Cardinals. Hey Cardinal fans, are you still paying full price for gas? Well, stop leaving money behind.

Only Locked On can do. catch college football kickoff every Thursday throughout the season only on Fire TV. So, I’m not going to let the Cardinals offense off the hook in this one either. Uh they did have a rough day at the plate, striking out 12 more times on Monday. Uh Lars Newar had three hits. Ivon Herrera had the big home run, but overall not a great day for the open. Um 12Ks as I mentioned that follows a 15K performance on Sunday, 12ks on Saturday. What is going on here? Do we got holes in the bats? What’s happening here? The total for the three games was 39. Their most strikeouts in three game span this season. It’s the the Reds and the A’s, right? This isn’t, you know, the Dodgers or, you know, one of these teams that sports a whole bunch of aces coming at you. That’s not good. The strikeouts represented 48% of the 81 ounce they made in the three games and the team went one and two. So that is not surprising at all. Um I I don’t know I I know that there’s a lot of young guys in the lineup right now. I get that, you know, but at the same time, um, striking out that much is just ghastly to watch. And it’s a terrible brand of baseball to watch, especially when you’re not getting the home runs, you know, this is what we always say, right? If you’re going to strike out 12 times a game, you better be popping home runs. You better get two or three because what was the what’s the phrase? Time to hit and a time to slug. And it looks like they’re just trying to slug and they’re not doing that anyway. So instead, they’re just striking out and you’re going to lose because of that. So I I I don’t know what’s happened to uh the bat-to- ball skills recently. Uh maybe it’s just one of those slumps for the offense. I’m not entirely sure. Again, a lot of young guys in there. Um but it’s it’s not cool. It’s not an enjoyable brand of baseball to watch. Uh the team is going to hope for better results tonight when they face Luis Severino, who is coming in at 6 and 11 with a 4.82 an 82 erra was their opening day starter for the A’s. Uh went on the IIL on August 6th with a left oblique strain. Was pitching pretty well before that injury. He was 4-1 with a 2.93 erra in his last five starts. So, but this is going to be, you know, his first start back in the major leagues since that injury took place. So, almost a month. And I’m sure there’s going to be a little bit of rust involved there. So, Cardinals need to be patient and they need to be able to take walks and take advantage of that rustiness. Uh the offense will need to be up for the challenge and they’re going to have to put runs on the board because on the mound for St. Louis is Miles Michaels who again he pitched well his last time out. I’m not complaining about that but the body of work tells me that he could just as easily get popped for seven runs in three innings at any moment any given moment especially against this A’s offense that continues to just punish the baseball no matter whether they play. I know they play in that minor league park in Sacramento. So, the offensive numbers are are probably a little bit enhanced because of that, but you saw just like I did uh on Monday. It didn’t matter that they were playing in a pitcher ballpark. They they were smacking that ball around. Um and again, they didn’t have two of their big guys in Curts and Langaliers who have been incredible for them uh in the top four spots in the order. They move them around from time to time. Both of them have been awesome. So, um, you’re gonna have to put runs on the board once again. Maybe we get lucky and Michael Pitch as well, but you can’t rely on that. You got to expect to get five or six in this game if you’re going to win. Uh, rookie Jimmy Krooks, who got his first hit and home run in Cincinnati, which was cool. Uh, supposed to start tonight behind the play. Don’t have an official lineup yet, but Alli told reporters that uh, Krooks and Pi will continue to to switch off and get playing time. So, it should be Crooks in the lineup tonight with Michael on the mound. Uh reports are that Britain Donovan is progressing in his recovery from a sore groin and toe, but is likely still several days away from beginning a rehab assignment in the miners. Nolan Aronado scheduled to be back in St. Louis later this week to meet with medical personnel after working out in Florida the last few weeks, at which time the Cardinals hope to have a better idea about when he could be able to rejoin the team. There are parts of me that say, “Hey, just shut these guys down. They’re veterans. What do we need to prove here in the final month of September?” But at the same time, they’re gamers and they want to get back on the field. They want to be playing. They want to be with their teammates. So, uh, if they’re going to rehab to get back and get back in time, then more power to them. Like, like it’s I mean, who are we to say, “No, we don’t need you anymore. We want to watch the rest of these guys play instead.” Although, I do I do I want to see Gorbin and JC and uh seeing Prito and Crooks and, you know, Church and some of these young guys. It’s kind of refreshing to see them taking a bats. Um, the team is also trying to avoid the IIL with right-handed reliever Riley O’Brien. Reports are the team was pleased with the MRI results that they got back on his sore shoulder. Apparently, he was able to play catch. So, uh, they’re they’re going to wait. So, they’re going to leave the bullpin short-handed. They love doing this. Um, but they’re going to wait and give them a couple days and see if anything changes. And if not, an IIL stent is not out of the question, but they’re hoping that uh that won’t be necessary. So, I guess that’s good news.

When Sonny pitches bad Miles usually has a good outing here to hoping or could it be another homerun bash like cubs game
Everyone should be tradeable except Weatherholt and the catchers. Cruz, Pitt and Cruz, Cinn, make a deal for Jordon, sweeper K, Walker, and Scott, for one of them and Noot, Gorman for the other. The Crew boys year have been terrible. Bernal, Herrera, Crooks, Pozo, Pages, are catchers with an upside. The Cardinal run way has proved they're players are run of the mill at best. Contreras, Gray, Arenado aren't moving because of high salaries. I love Burleson and Donovan but see what they could bring. Do not sign Winn to an extention. His knee is a problem.
Oh I forgot to mention Walker Buehler signed with Phillie. A winter off and he may be able to throw in Spring, he they waive him.
Thanks JD your the best!!!
I bet JJ could hit the ball!!!
Every Cardinals pitcher.
0 and 2 the count, waste a pitch.
2 strikes on the batter, throw an off speed , hittable pitch.
Do not throw sweepers.
Batters, watch the pitch go belt high in the strike zone.
Do not swing.
Pitch in the dirt, near the shoe tops, in the opposite batters box, swing at the pitch.
2 strikes, foul the ball or look at strike three.
Maybe the Cards are afraid of hitting the ball.
Unless Walker is hitting .260 and has 14 homers and 50 rbi at the 2026 all star game, he should be traded.
Jordan hit the ball.
Ground ball, fly ball do not care.
Just hit the ball.
Imagine a "Quickdraw McGraw" voice when Rusty Rake visits the mound….."Well, when I was in the Bushers of North Carolina we'd just throw it over the middle and see what happens!" This stuff writes itself. 🤣👎
