Sweep of the Brewers. Early lead of the NL Central. 15-9. Overall, when they are not playing in that bandbox in Milwaukee, they aren’t playing half bad.

The rotation has the third worst WAR in the league to this point. It's a major concern. With that said, the offense has taken it up two levels with Ozuna and DeJong producing well, and the steady upward creep of Goldschmidt's production.
That Martinez is only going to be brought back as a reliever speaks poorly to his durability, maturity, and/or both. If they can't trust him to not party like an animal, it makes that extension look shitty.

From Bernies column on the Athletic:
When the Cardinals beat Milwaukee on Wednesday, it was Shildts 93rd game as their manager. Coincidentally, Shildt took over for Matheny 93 games into the 2018 season. In Mathenys 93 games last season, the Cardinals went 47-46 for a .505 winning percentage. In Shildts first 93 games after replacing Matheny, the Cardinals went 56-37 for a winning percentage of .602. Sure, Shildt has Goldschmidt, who was acquired last offseason. Matheny didnt have Goldschmidt. Doesnt that matter? Well, yes and no. Goldschmidt would help any manager. But Shildt didnt have Goldy last summer when he led the Cardinals to a 41-28 record after Mathenys ouster. Bottom line: No National League team has won more regular-season games than the Cardinals since Shildt moved into the managers office July 15.

Miller, Martinez, Wacha, Reyes
All of them billed as studs, all of them disappointments. This FO cannot evaluate its own players at all.

Martinez and Reyes both physically have #1 starter skills. Where both are failing is mentally. Both need to grow the **** up. Your not teenagers anymore. Be an adult for crissakes.
